Version 2.2 (Beta) - March to April 15 Updates

What’s New:

• Smoother access & login experience
  • Improved “join company” flow so existing users who are invited to an additional company are guided to accept the invitation (instead of being prompted to create a new profile).
  • Improved the handling and display of “permission denied” cases on mobile for a cleaner, less confusing experience.
• Email & link reliability
  • Fixed issues where links in emails sent from the Gig Sheet “Send Email” module were not working correctly when clicked.
  • Improved reliability of email attachment links so customers can open/download attachments without links expiring unexpectedly.
• Gig Sheet & navigation stability
  • Fixed a dashboard navigation issue where clicking “Open” from a gig offer could incorrectly bounce users back to the Dashboard (including cases triggered by cookie/JavaScript errors).
  • Ensured direct links to backonstage.app reliably open in Beta mode (instead of redirecting to the older production experience).
• Book Roles improvements (quality + new admin controls)
  • Fixed duplicate-role edge cases so auto-declines and “Conflict” indicators behave correctly when booking similar/duplicated roles.
  • Fixed an issue where rate changes could be lost when reordering members (rate changes now persist correctly).
  • Fixed “Manual Book” roles created from roster templates so booked members appear correctly across the Confirm Offers modal, Gig Sheet, and activity/notifications.
  • Fixed an issue where admins could not book roles for past events (Confirm Offers modal no longer opens empty).
  • New: Added an admin “Decline” action on the Book Roles page so admins can decline on a musician’s behalf (with an activity log entry).
  • Multi-day clarity: Added service dates to Book Roles surfaces so admins and musicians can clearly see which date a role is tied to across multi-day bookings.
• Calendar & scheduling
  • Fixed the calendar dropdown in React screens so it shows the event start time (not only the end time).
  • Added a way to clear (de-select) dates in the Schedule & Services date selector for multi-day workflows (plus follow-up testing/bugfixing for related edge cases).
• Music Library security
  • Updated Music Library permissions so non-admin musicians only see/download PDFs assigned to roles they’re actually booked for (matching Performance Mode behavior).
• Chat + mobile UI polish
  • Improved Team Chat behavior so deactivated members do not receive updates.
  • Improved chat usability and mobile alignment for top-nav dropdown panels (Chat / Notifications) in React.
• Billing & reporting improvements
  • Fixed client invoice numbering so invoice sequences are unique per company (new companies start at BOS-1; existing companies continue their current sequence).
  • Improved Sheet View exports and columns so exports better match the filters/columns selected, and key fields like Invoice Number and Custom Fields display more reliably.

Version 2.2 (Beta) - Live since January 9 2026

What's New:

• Book Roles Page
  • Implemented new concurrency notification system that alerts users when the page is opened in multiple tabs or by multiple people, with activity tracked via a lightweight heartbeat system.
  • Fixed error message incorrectly showing "member already exists" when inviting new members that don't exist in the company, but do exist in the system.
  • Resolved toaster notification not displaying on second click when inviting members.
• User Management & Permissions
  • Improved deactivation controls: owners can no longer deactivate themselves, and admins cannot deactivate company owners.
  • Updated company deletion permissions to restrict this action to company owners only.
  • Fixed password reset validation to display proper error messages.
• Login & Navigation
  • Improved login redirection to send new users directly to the Gig Sheet when clicking "respond now" links.
• Booking Import
  • Added validation for booking import headers and content to prevent errors.
  • Fixed issue where the same client would be created multiple times during import.
  • Improved validation message display for better clarity.
• Set Lists
  • Corrected setlist shortened link input label by removing incorrect "Client Portal Link" text.
• Music Library
  • Fixed issue where adding notes in Edit Song would incorrectly append tags.
