Hey photo friends!

This week is packed with big news: multi-downloads in the Dashboard, a massive Mobile Dashboard update (with feature parity forever 🎉), and the upcoming Capture App 4.20.8 release.

‍

Let’s jump in:

  ‍
• 📊 Widget: View total sales + a trailing 12-month chart right from your home screen
  ‍

  ‍
• 🔔 Order notifications: Changed from hourly to once every Friday, now with a new ka-ching! sound on iOS
  ‍

Hey photo friends!

‍

Big update week! The Capture & Upload App v4.20.7 is right around the corner, and we’ve got some great new features for sports workflows, roster clarity, and retail protections.

‍

Let’s dig in:

‍

📱 Capture & Upload App 4.20.7 (releasing Sept 19–22)

• 🔍 Smarter search: Search Name Lookup with both first and last name in one query (not just one or the other)
  ‍
• 🔄 Swap Events: New option in the shooting page menu for Positive ID events
  ‍
• 🏈 Group Session mode: Added to the shooting page menu for sports events
  ‍
• 🗂️ BGR support: Can now shoot in Group Session mode inside BGR folders - uploads into a new folder name “(OriginalFolderName)b”
  ‍
• 🏷️ PhotoTags on Group Photos in BGR Folders: Add tags to group shots in Group Session mode when in BGR folders
  ‍
• ⌨️ Type & Take Participants now appear in Name Lookup
  ‍
• 🎛️ New context menu UI: Wheel/circle menus replaced with clearer buttons and room for more options
  ‍
• 📱 UI tweaks:
  • “Manual Name Lookup” renamed simply “Name Lookup” on iPad
  • iOS 26 only: Liquid Glass context menus, native dialogs, keyboards, and controls
  • Error toasts are now native dialogs (prettier + don’t disappear too fast)
  • Info dialogs on event overview use native UI
  • Name Lookup modal now correctly titled “Name Lookup”
    ‍
• 🛠️ Fix: Upload toast now shows correct number of uploaded images

‍

🛍️ Retail Site

• 🖼️ File names visible on the image preview page—helpful for support
  ‍
• 📏 Consistent renders regardless of aspect ratio
  ‍
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Merged participant galleries now include group photos for each merged participant’s PhotoTag (great for siblings sharing a number)
  ‍
• 🛡️ GalleryGuard upgrade: now blocks devtools for even more image protection
  ‍
• 💻 Cutouts default: Desktop retail site will selects the first custom background automatically when none is chosen when a subject goes to preview a dynamic-background image

‍

📋 Dashboard

• 👤 Participant images on records: Registered/Roster Participants with photos now display their gallery image instead of a silhouette on the Dashboard
  ‍
• 🖼️ Participant images now show on the Event Overview page for recent orders
  ‍
• ⬇️ Participant image downloads now include faux renders

‍

🛠️ Misc

• 🏅 SportsPics Check-In labels now say Athlete First Name and Athlete Last Name
  ‍
• 🏠 Clicking the NowCandid logo in the top-left of the Dashboard now takes you Home
  ‍
• 🐞 Bug fixes: Better performance and clarity around PhotoTags, merged participants, personal gallery downloads, and marketing with hidden/BGR images

‍

That’s the roundup! 💫
