Teams are Finally Here!

By far, our most-requested feature is finally available! Teams transform GearConnect from a personal tool into a collaborative platform, enabling all your colleagues to work together on projects and library items. Whether you're a small team or a large production company, Teams bring the coordination you've been asking for - with flexible billing and granular permission controls built in.

Introducing Teams

GearConnect now supports true collaboration through Teams. Create a team to share projects and library items with others, control who can view or edit content, and work together easily. Every team has its own space distinct from your personal projects and libraries, allowing clear separation.

Invite Team Members and Assign Roles

Collaboration is all about the right people having the right access. In addition to the Owner, when you invite team members via email, you can assign them one of four distinct roles:
  • Admin: Full team management and billing capabilities, plus access to create and edit content.
  • Billing Manager: Manage team billing without requiring access to projects or libraries. Great for administrative staff.
  • Member: Create and edit team projects and libraries, but without billing or team management access.
  • Guest: Read-only access to team projects and libraries. Perfect for clients or freelancers who need easy access to work without editing rights.
Only pay for Owners, Admins, and Members. For every paid member on your team, you will be able to invite one Guest for no additional cost!

Project Page Redesign with Shared Projects

Your Projects page has been redesigned to show both personal and team projects. Use the new project sidebar to quickly switch between your own projects and any team's projects. Team projects are owned by the team, not by you individually - allowing easy access to everyone on the team.

Learn more

Shared Team Libraries

Every team gets its own library, separate from your User Library. Team members with editing access (Owner, Admin, or Member) can add and modify gear items in the Team Library, while Guests can view the library items but cannot make changes. Your User Library stays private to you, but you can easily copy items between libraries whenever you want to share them with the group.

Flexible Member Billing That Only Charges for Active Time

We understand that teams can dynamically vary in size, and projects may only last a few days - so we built billing to match. You only pay for the time additional team members are actually active on your team.

Flexible Member Billing (the default) charges you based on how long each member is active, down to the second. Adding a member mid-month? You're charged only for the time they remain on the team. Remove them early? You get a credit for the unused portion. It's perfect for freelancers, contractors, and teams with changing composition. Credits automatically apply to your next invoice.

In addition, pending invites never incur any charges until they're accepted - no wasted money if your team members haven't joined yet.

Fixed Member Billing Option

If you prefer a more typical payment option where you have predictable costs and you'd like to pre-allocate paid members, we offer that too! This is commonly referred to to as seat-based billing, but we call it Fixed Member Billing.

Fixed Member Billing lets you purchase a set number of member seats upfront. Freely add, remove, and change member roles within your purchased capacity with no additional charges. This option is ideal if you want predictable costs and a stable team size. If you exceed your seat capacity, we simply charge you for the extra members.

If you would prefer this option, please reach to support to let us know how many members you would like to add, and we can activate this for your chosen team!

Copy and Move Projects

You can now easily copy or move projects between your personal projects and any team you're a member of. Use the new "Copy / Move Project" button on any project card to duplicate a project (keeping the original) or move it entirely to a new location. Create backups of key projects, or easily transfer between personal and team projects as needed!

Beta Features Now Available in the Main App!

Over the past several months, we’ve been testing some exciting features in our Beta app. Today, we’re thrilled to announce these are now available in the main app for everyone! Thank you to everyone who tried them early and provided feedback.

The Beta app version will now remain aligned with the main application until the introduction of the next set of beta features. However you are welcome to continue to use the Beta app, to try the latest features when they are available! Stay tuned to our Changelogs for future updates.

As a reminder, here are the highlights of the new features:

Quickly Fix Mistakes with the Undo Stack

A highly anticipated feature is finally here - undo and redo support! The Undo Stack captures complete snapshots of your entire project state, including drawings, reports, cable inventories, selections, and everything in between. This means you can easily step backward and forward through your recent edits, knowing that everything will stay perfectly in sync. With up to 50 undo snapshots stored locally, you'll be able to explore your project's evolution with ease. As an added bonus, Pro users get access to the visual Undo Stack History timeline, allowing you to jump to any point in your project's timeline instantly.

Create Library Items From Scratch, Archive Old Items, and More

The Library Editor has gotten some big quality of life updates! You can now create library items directly, eliminating the need to duplicate an existing item as a starting point. Additionally, it is now possible to archive not only individual library items but also entire manufacturers and brands - a great way to clear out extra gear you no longer need. You can also change the category of a library item via a new drop-down menu in the Library Item Config pane.

Learn more

Streamline Report Creation with New Templates

We've added a new unified Create Report dialog that makes starting new reports easier than ever! All report templates are now accessible from one convenient location in the My Reports pane, helping you jump right into your documentation or data editing workflows. The new dialog features pre-built templates such as cable counts, individual gear details, and our brand-new networking template. Whether you're documenting a complex network setup or organizing cable runs, the Create Report dialog helps you jump-start your documentation even faster!

Bulk Delete Your Projects

You can now select multiple projects and remove them in a single action - perfect for tidying up test work and old drafts without deleting them one by one. To select projects from Your Projects, either click on the new checkbox in the project card, or hold CTRL while clicking on the card itself, then select the Delete button.

  • Added bulk delete functionality to remove all unused gear from projects at once, making cleanup more efficient, accessible from My Gear
