Things you keep to yourself

August 27, 2026

A location or a product can now be yours alone, even while somebody else is sharing your warehouse.

Open a line to read the whole story behind it.

• New A location can be made private, and everything nested inside it goes with it.

  A location can be made private on its edit screen, and everything inside it goes with it, however deep it goes. Nobody you have shared the warehouse with can see a private location, the ones nested under it, or any of the stock standing in them — whatever else you have let them do. You still see all of it, with a small Private badge so you know at a glance which shelves are yours alone. A location inside a private one says so and points at the one holding the answer, so there is only ever one place to change it.

• New A product can be made private, and its stock, history and photographs go with it wherever it is kept.

  A product can be made private the same way, and its stock goes with it wherever it is kept. Somebody sharing your warehouse will not see the product, the amounts, the history, the serial numbers, the barcode, or the notes and photographs on it — not even on an ordinary shelf they can otherwise read. So a coin collection on a shelf in the hall stays yours, without your having to keep it somewhere separate. Making something private is a decision only you can make and only you can undo: sharing your warehouse more widely never opens it.

• New A stocktake reaching across something private is yours alone to finish.

  A stocktake that reaches across something private is yours to finish. Somebody sharing your warehouse sees the ones that do not, and starts their own over everything they can see — so nobody is asked to count a shelf they cannot open, and nothing can be written off as missing because they were never shown it.

• Improved The dashboard is one screenful again, and its Quick Actions reach the whole app.

  The dashboard is now one screenful you can take in at a glance, and the Quick Actions on it reach the whole app instead of one corner of it. Search, categories, reports and help have joined the tiles that were already there, and two tiles now start something rather than open something: add a product, and add a location. That last one matters most on the very first day — a brand-new dashboard used to offer nothing that would build your first shelf. The list of your sites and the list of the last few movements have gone from under the tiles: each was a shorter version of a screen a tile already opens, and between them they pushed the tiles off the bottom of a phone. Every tile appears only when the screen behind it will let you in, so somebody sharing your warehouse is never shown a shortcut that turns them away.

• New Help has a walkthrough on designing your own label, and it is the first help page with pictures.

  Help has a new walkthrough on designing a label of your own, and it is the first help page with pictures in it. Laying out a label is hard to describe in words — it is a rectangle inside a rectangle, measured in millimetres you cannot see on your screen — so three of the steps show the editor rather than only describing it. The eight steps run from printing the ordinary label first, through the part of the label a printer can actually reach and what happens to a name too long for the box it was given, to printing one and looking at it before anything is decided. It also says plainly the thing that catches people out: a design is drawn for one roll and is never stretched onto another, so a label that resolves a different roll quietly prints the standard layout instead. The pictures are drawn rather than photographed, which means they are in your language and follow your theme like everything else on the page.
