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.
