- Collapse the sidebar to reclaim screen space. On desktop you can now pin the sidebar to a slim icon rail — hover to peek it back open, and your choice is remembered between visits.
- Completed projects become read-only handover archives. Marking a project Completed freezes every tab into a stable record of the project as it was at sign-off, so nothing changes after handover. Admins can re-open a project at any time.
- Clients keep portal access for three months after completion. Once a project wraps, client-portal users retain read-only access for a set window before it closes automatically — re-opening a project restores access.
- Clients can download a copy of their project data. From the portal, clients can export a single zip containing a PDF project summary, the approved drawings and their shared files — a permanent record to keep before access ends.
Changelog
The latest updates and improvements to Navanto.
- Completing a project now asks you to confirm. Marking a project Completed opens a confirmation step — no more accidental one-tap completions — with a small celebration when you do.
- NavantoAI works with @mentions in posts. The assistant now sees who’s been tagged when it reads a project feed, and can tag teammates for you when it writes an update — notifying them just like a manual mention.
- Snagging tab for tracking defects. Once a project reaches Snagging or Completed, a new Snagging tab lists every outstanding defect, each with a status, scheduled date, assignee, attachments and links. Booking a date moves a snag from Not started to Scheduled automatically; clearing it moves it back.
- Clients can follow snagging in the portal. The client portal shows a read-only snag list so clients can see what’s left to put right, without internal assignee or attachment detail.
- NavantoAI understands snags. The assistant can read and create snag items on request, and outstanding snags now feed into its project risk briefings.
- Three project phases. Projects move through Active, Snagging, and Completed instead of just live or done, so the board reflects where each job really is. Snagging gets its own amber badge; Active projects keep the planning / on-time / delayed timeline.
- Set the phase from the project header. Admins switch between phases from the project header; everyone else sees the current phase as a read-only badge.
- NavantoAI understands the phases. The assistant can tell you which phase a project is in and move it on when asked, and its risk briefings now reflect all three stages.
- Mention teammates in posts. Type
@in a project post to tag someone on the project. They get an in-app and email notification — even on client-portal posts, where the email carries your own branding. Toggle these under Settings → Notifications. - NavantoAI now has memory. The assistant remembers your organisation’s context — preferences, recurring decisions, conventions — between conversations. Review or clear what it knows under Organisation Settings → NavantoAI. Memory is isolated to your organisation and never used to train models.
- Clearer sign-in errors. Expired or stale login links now show a “Sign-in failed” page with a Try again button instead of a blank error.
