Hey photo friends! 👋

‍
This week’s updates are packed with improvements that make your day-to-day workflow smoother—especially if you like clear answers, fewer edge cases, and cleaner experiences across Capture, Retail, and the Dashboard.

‍

The headline this week: NowCandid Docs are officially live inside the Dashboard—and they’re already huge. Let’s jump in. 💫

‍

📚 NEW: NowCandid Docs (Built Into the Dashboard)

‍

We’ve launched official, up-to-date NowCandid documentation directly inside the Dashboard. Just click “Docs” in the sidebar to open it.

‍

Here’s what makes it special:

‍

• • One dedicated place for everything: programs, workflows, Capture App, JerseyJotter, Candy Culler, and more
  ‍
• • Over 60 pages of documentation already (with screenshots and even some videos)
  ‍
• • Regular updates, with a timestamp on each page showing when it was last updated
  ‍
• • Smart Docs search (use the search button at the top of the Docs sidebar)
  ‍
• • Mobile supported: works fully inside the Mobile Dashboard app
  ‍
• • Clickable images: click any image to preview it bigger
  ‍
• • Table of contents + feedback: on larger screens, you’ll see a right-side table of contentsand a “Give Feedback” button to report missing info, typos, or confusing sections
  ‍
• • Private by default: you can share a docs link, but the viewer must be logged in to access it

‍

‍

🍬 Candy got smarter (because Docs exist)

‍

Candy now pulls from the new Docs when answering questions—so she can:

‍

• • Share direct links to guides
  ‍
• • Pull relevant screenshots and videos
  ‍
• • Give more accurate, up-to-date help

‍

Also, the Candy Navigation Assistant now uses docs search as the fallback destination if it can’t find a page you’re looking for—often with your question prefilled!

‍

‍

📱 Capture App 5.6 (iOS & Android) — Not OTA

‍

Capture App v5.6 is now available for iOS and Android (this is not an OTA update).

‍

What changed:

‍

• • Fix: Android “Update Available” popup now correctly links to Google Play, not the Apple App Store
  ‍
• • Feature: The app now rejects images under 1,000 pixels with an error popup (similar to the color profile error). The Dashboard already enforced this, but this prevents rare edge cases—like a camera outputting low-res images during capture.

‍

🛍️ Retail Improvements (Better behavior, clearer checkout)

‍

A few retail updates landed that improve clarity and fix edge cases:

‍

• • BGR + PhotoTags fix: Background removed images in PhotoTag events will now show correctly even if the originals are marked invisible
  ‍
• • Pay Later badges removed from the store sheet (the “Pay Later Options Available in Checkout” messaging still appears in package configurators for packages $30+)
  ‍
• • Z-cropped images now show faceboxes (and the faceboxes are adjusted to the z-crop, too)
  ‍
• • Checkout completion screen now shows your Business Logo (if you’ve added one)
  ‍
• • Updated “Your order is complete” copy to note:
  • retouching may delay orders
  • physical products typically arrive in 7–14 business days

‍

🖥️ Dashboard Updates (Clarity, savings, and better reporting)

‍

• • Positive ID edge case fixed: Manually assigned images now show up correctly in an additional contact’s gallery
  ‍
• • Client Outreach SMS savings: Non-standard encoded apostrophes now auto-convert to standard apostrophes to reduce segment costs
  ‍
• • Auto Editor access fix: Resolved an issue preventing some users from accessing Auto Editor
  ‍
• • New Candy Image Studio node: Traditional Black & White (distinct from the Black and White Film Print node)
  ‍
• • Reports pages upgraded: Added titles and descriptions for better clarity
  ‍
• • Participant List: Unmarketable Participants filter
  • •You can now filter to show only unmarketable participants—or hide them
  • •The download sheet now includes an “Unmarketable” column (Yes/blank)
  • •“Unmarketable” can include opt-outs/unsubscribes, invalid contact info, etc.

‍

🍬 Candy UI improvements

‍

Candy received a bunch of UX upgrades, including:

‍

• • Click images to preview larger
  ‍
• • New table rendering
  ‍
• • Scroll fades
  ‍
• • Type without having to click/focus the input first
  

‍

📱 Mobile Dashboard Improvements (No app update needed)

‍

• • Fixed sidebar scrolling triggering “pull to refresh”
  ‍
• • You can now slide/pull from the side to open the sidebar—no need to scroll to the top and tap the sidebar button

‍

That’s the week! 💫

‍

This release is all about reducing friction—with official docs inside the Dashboard, a tighter Capture App, better retail behavior for BGR and z-crops, and Dashboard refinements that improve accuracy, clarity, and even lower messaging costs.

‍

Keep creating magic,

‍
