Hi there,

This September, we’ve rolled out updates that put more control in your hands. Whether you’re managing project settings or organizing files. We’re focused on removing friction and giving you smoother ways to work inside SKAND. Let’s dive into what’s landed and what’s next.

New Features

Web App

Project Settings

You can now edit your project details directly in Explore, including the name, group, location, and description, giving you more control without the back and forth.

We’ve also added the ability to specify vertical and horizontal coordinate systems, which will automatically appear in your coordinate readouts.

Update your projects with ease. Full step-by-step details are available in our documentation here.

Files Tab

You can now manage your project files directly from Explore, so there’s no need to jump into the project details page just to make a change.

Upload new files or link existing ones from Data Management in just a few clicks, all in one place.

Manage your files without the hassle. Learn more in our documentation here.

In the lab – what we’re working on

Web App

Executable Annotations

You’ll soon be able to customize the icons associated with an annotation, making it easier to spot and organize key points in your project. We’re also adding actions for left-clicking an annotation, like opening an image or website, which will make annotations much more interactive.

Saved Views

You’ll be able to save your visualization settings in the Viewer, so you can quickly return to the exact setup you need. Saved views can also be shared with stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned without the hassle of resetting configurations manually.

Annotation Spreadsheets

Soon you’ll be able to bulk edit annotations in a spreadsheet view, saving tons of time when working with large datasets. All changes can then be saved back into SKAND, giving you a faster and more efficient way to manage your annotation workflows.

SKAND iOS App

• In-app notifications are coming soon. You’ll be kept in the loop without leaving the app.
• Video captures will get richer metadata and clearer thumbnails. This makes browsing and reviewing recordings easier.
• Capture sessions will be easier to organize with the option to rename them. No more cryptic session names.
• We’re adding new actions for managing captures. This means more control over how you work in the field.
• Status updates during capture sessions are also being improved. You’ll always know what’s happening while recording.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Web App

• Annotation filters now correctly update labels and measurements. You’ll always see the latest information without needing to refresh.
• Scene tree layer action icons are only visible when the layer is toggled on.

SKAND iOS App

We’ve fixed a delay between recording a capture and seeing it in the Capture List. Your recordings will now appear right away.

We hope these updates make working in SKAND a little simpler every day. If you need help getting started, our documentation’s got you covered or just reach out to our team for a quick walkthrough.
