Failed inspections: log the fixes and book the next visit in one step
When an inspection fails, one window now records the result, adds each fix to the punch list and books the re-inspection. Inspections also got checklists, photos, a person responsible and reminders.
Punch list, inspections and files: find anything in seconds
Punch items and inspections now open in one window with more detail. Both lists, and the Files tab, can be filtered and searched.
Inspections get their own tab in Field
The Field tab now has an Inspections tab for permits and inspections. You can set each result right from the list.
A 3-week look-ahead on the Schedule tab
The Schedule tab now shows the next three weeks of open milestones, with who each is for and why any ran late. You can download it as a PDF for the crew.
Faster project setup, a recycle bin and client reports
Creating a project is now four short steps with starter templates. Deleted projects can be restored for 30 days. You can also send your client a status report that leaves out the money.

How ProtoPM keeps your records
- Your data
Deleted projects are kept for 30 days
When you delete a project, it goes to a recycle bin. You can undo right away, or restore it any time in the next 30 days. To delete it for good, you must type the project name first.
How it works → - Your data
Ending an add-on never deletes your records
When an add-on ends, its features become read-only. Your projects and records stay. In Settings → Billing, each ended add-on is marked read-only.
How it works → - Your data
You get 60 days' notice before any file is removed
Say a company uses more storage than it is allowed. Every file stays readable, and the company gets emails on days 0, 30 and 53. Only on day 60 are uploaded files removed, and only enough to fit the limit. Projects, logs and invoices are never removed.
How it works → - Privacy
Client status reports leave out private details
The Client status report never includes the budget, invoices, financial history, risks, lessons learned or team contacts.

Questions
Where can I see what changed in ProtoPM?
Right here. Each month has its own page with the newest update first. Every change says what you can do now, shows a screenshot or a short demo, and links to a how-to. The RSS feed lists each update too.
How do I know when a change was made?
Each update sits under the day it shipped. The month page opens with a list of everything that changed that month, so you can jump to the one you need.
Will an update change or remove my data?
No. In October 2026, every update only added new fields and lists. Nothing you had already saved was removed or changed. If an update ever needs you to do something, that change says so in an Action needed note.
