We heard you—and we’ve made big improvements to task and comment handling!

🔵 Assign a Task After a Comment Has Been Posted

🚨 SVG File Format No Longer Supported for QR Codes and Shared Links

As part of a recent security update, Digs no longer supports SVG files when publishing documents via QR codes or public links. This change was made proactively after identifying a known browser-based vulnerability associated with the SVG format.

You can still upload and store SVG files within your Digs projects for internal use. However, they can no longer be shared publicly using QR codes or share links.

Use of SVG files in Digs is relatively rare, so we don’t expect this change to affect most users. That said, if you have questions or need help converting SVGs to a different format, our team is here to help.

Free Trial improvements

We recently fixed an issue where some users who were eligible for a free Pro trial didn’t receive access as expected. If that was you—our apologies! The issue has been resolved, and impacted users should now have full access to their 14-day Pro trial.

If you weren’t affected but are interested in trying out Pro for free, we’d love to help! Just reach out and we’ll get you set up with a 14-day trial—no strings attached.

Small but mighty updates:

Issue: The total project count in a workspace could appear differently depending on who is viewing it and their access to projects.

Resolution: This issue has been fixed. All users will now see consistent project counts based on their access rights.

Issue: Currently, Digs allows each email address to be a paid member in only one workspace. If someone tries to invite a user already tied to another workspace, no clear error message is shown, leaving users confused.

Resolution: We've added a helpful error message to notify users when inviting someone in this situation, suggesting they use a different email address. Note: Users can still be added as Collaborators to any project, regardless of workspace membership restrictions.

Future Plans: Digs is working on expanding support for multiple workspaces, so any email can join multiple workspaces without restrictions.

A Season of Growth and Gratitude

Our team has been hard at work pushing out exciting new features like DigsCloud, designed to make your workflows more efficient and collaborative. These big releases are a testament to the dedication and passion of our team. We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful for your continued support on this journey!

AskDigs Enhancements

This new version of AskDigs isn’t about fixing a problem but about making AskDigs even better. Based on user feedback and new technology, we’re adding some exciting improvements to make sure AskDigs can do more for you.

2. Proactive Question Suggestions (Prompt Gallery)

   • AskDigs will suggest useful questions based on what it knows about your project, helping you uncover details you might not have thought to ask.

3. Direct Response Guidance

   • When answers come from a comment, AskDigs can show you exactly where in the project the information was found, so you don’t have to go digging for it.

4. Smarter Conversation Memory

   • AskDigs remembers your recent questions, so it can provide more relevant, contextual responses throughout your conversation.

5. Upgraded Technology for Faster and Better Responses

   • We have been doing a lot of work on the backend to make it faster and support larger documents, so it’s more responsive and can handle more complex questions

Enhanced User Management Interface

Adding to the recent User Roles updates, we added a streamlined Workspace user interface for managing teams! Available to teams on our Pro and Enterprise plans, this interface upgrade makes it simpler than ever to oversee and organize team members. With separate views for paid users and guest users, you’ll be able to quickly spot your key power users and gain insights into how many projects each person is involved with.

Additionally, you can now easily see if team members have been invited to Digs but haven’t yet created their accounts, helping you keep track of everyone’s onboarding status.

Small but Mighty changes

Restrict Vendors to your Builder network.

Released in October 2024, Digs Pro and Enterprise accounts are now able to hide the 'Find A Pro' link across all projects, ensuring greater control over their vendor relationships and protecting repeat business opportunities that begin during the build phase.

Additionally, For all account types, Digs has modified the visibility of the 'Find A Pro' feature when it is active. The link has been removed from areas like Profile, Settings, the Project Selection screen, and the Contacts page. It remains prominent inside active projects.

Invite users from the main Project menu

Users can now invite new members directly from the three-dot menu on the Digs projects page—no need to open each project! This update makes it quicker and easier to add people to one or more projects.

Bugs squashed

Handoff Process Update: Issue Resolved!

We recently addressed a defect affecting some users during the project handoff to homeowners, where an error disrupted the final handoff process after the build was complete. We’re happy to report that this issue has now been resolved! To ensure a smooth transition for every project, we’ll continue to monitor and improve the handoff process as we finalize this fix. Thank you for your patience as we work to enhance your experience!

Coming Soon

Performance Improvements

Our team has been hard at work advancing DigsCloud (workspace files & folders), while also making significant strides in enhancing Digs' overall performance. This month, we introduced key updates that have dramatically improved speed and responsiveness across the platform, with a special focus on optimizing the mobile experience.

New Roles & Permissions

We are also wrapping up on developing a new centralized User Management UI, designed to simplify user administration across all projects. This single, unified interface allows for efficient workspace-level management, while preserving project-specific user controls. With the addition of a clearer role structure and improved distinctions between subscribed users and guests, this update enhances both control and security.

In response to customer feedback, we've also introduced new roles and permissions. The updated User Management UI gives Workspace Admins a central hub to manage users and their roles across projects, offering more flexibility and precision. The new roles—Manager, Editor, and Collaborator—allow for role-based access, streamlining administration and making it easier to customize user permissions.

Point to Point Measurement

We are in the final stages of wrapping up a new measurement functionality called Point-to-Point measurements. This is a big request from you all, allowing them to capture measurements of irregular walls, rooms and polygonal shapes. This will go live over the next couple of weeks!

🐞 Bug Fix: askDigs speed and conciseness

In early September, users reported delays with askDigs responses, often paired with frustrating "I don’t understand" messages. These issues would sometimes happen at the same time, adding to user frustration. Mid-month adjustments were made, resolving both problems, and askDigs performance has significantly improved since.

👻 Bug Fix: ‘Haunted’ Layers

In recent months, some users reported that layers and annotations would briefly blink before solidifying. If you’ve noticed these "haunted" behaviors, rest assured—just in time for October, Digs engineers have fixed the issue. It turns out, no ghosts were involved—just some quick resolutions!

🏠 Early Access to 3D Dollhouse!

We are thrilled to offer exclusive early access to our new 3D Dollhouse feature through a closed beta program. For those on our Pro Tier and above, you'll be among the first to explore this cutting-edge technology, providing feedback that will help shape its future development.

This is just the beginning of what we have in store for our 3D Dollhouse, and we can't wait for you to be part of this journey. By participating, you'll get a front-row seat to the latest innovations at Digs and play a key role in refining a feature that promises to revolutionize the way we design and visualize spaces.

❓askDigs Just Got Smarter!

askDigs now has a deeper understanding of conversations, decisions, project information and giving you a more direct response as well to your questions. You can ask more detailed questions, like the dimensions of rooms and spaces—if the details are in the project, askDigs has you covered! And this is just the beginning; askDigs will keep evolving to become even more intelligent and efficient. Stay tuned for even more awesome enhancements coming to askDigs!

📐 Point-to-Point Measurement!

We are in the final stages of wrapping up a new measurement functionality called Point-to-Point measurements. This has been a big request from you, allowing you to capture measurements of irregular walls, rooms and polygonal shapes. You also will be able to change the color of your measurements, allowing to distinguish different measurement types. This will go live in the next week.

🖌️ White Out Tool

By popular demand, we’ve introduced the White Out Tool! Now, you can easily use the pencil or marker tool to white out sections of your blueprint. Whether you need to remove a wall or make small adjustments, it’s simple—just select the white color in the palette and apply the white out function with ease.

⏭️ Next in Digs

As we’ve shared before, we’re committed to the upcoming release of Digs Cloud, along with enhanced user roles and permissions. These updates are designed to provide a more seamless and controlled experience within Digs and a strong business impact.

As a reminder, Digs is making changes to user permissions to better reflect those responsibilities. What does this mean for you?

• Effective immediately, Project Owner is being renamed Manager. This provides clarity, as many projects currently have multiple Project 'Owners'.

Starting in late August 2024:

• Using your existing project invite tools, new user roles will be available to differentiate Admins, Builders, and other project participants.

  • Free Collaborators will be recategorized as project guest roles and will be updated to remove potentially negative user rights, like deleting other people’s comments or files. We trust people, but accidents happen.

  • A new Editor role is being added beneath Manager. Editors will not have full project control but will have more permissions than a Collaborator, such as deletion rights and file management.

• Next up, a new centralized user management console will allow Admins to see all users in one location, easily update a user across several projects, and keep your projects secure.

Private Layers

This new feature will allow users and project managers to create private areas within a project, enabling select stakeholders to collaborate and conduct business in a more private and focused environment.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We’ve released a new feature to make your fieldwork even better. Explore Markup Export and other exciting Digs improvements below!

Markup Export for Field Work

Export documentation within Digs, including your annotations and markups, for easy offline project work on the job site. We made it simple: just make sure you have the layer(s) you want to export turned on, and voila! Check out our How To Video here.

Apple Pencil Enhancements

We've made Digs even better for those on the go! With Apple Pencil support, you can easily make redlines, callouts, or adjustments right on your iPad. It's perfect for making quick changes during client meetings or anytime you need to update plans.

New Icons

By popular request, we have added new icons in electrical, gas, and low voltage. Not pictured but still new: Under Cabinet Lighting

Performance Improvements

We've enhanced Digs' performance, making comments and tasks faster, so you can stay efficient. The overall speed has improved significantly, allowing for smooth navigation between blueprints and documents, whether you're on a desktop or mobile device.

Coming Soon

Workspace Files & Folders

Store, share, and collaborate on documents that are not tied to a specific Digs project, streamlining access to files and information that your team needs. No need to pay extra for Dropbox, Sharepoint or other file management software. Digs will do the trick! And, remember, you can use AskDigs to instantly find that one detail buried in all those folders.

Improved User Permissions

Teams vary in size and responsibility, and Digs is making changes to user permissions to better reflect those responsibilities. What does this mean for you?

• Effective immediately, Project Owner is being renamed Manager. This provides clarity, as many projects currently have multiple Project 'Owners'.

Starting in late August 2024..
