What’s coming at Backbone
Streamlined Photo Sudio
Improved
What will be improved
We will upgrade the existing Photo Studio (our built‑in photo editor) into a unified, end‑to‑end workspace with faster navigation, clearer organization, and instant previews. We will introduce new transformations (Paint Walls, Change Floors) and enhance existing ones (Declutter, Blurring), so you can apply multiple edits in a smooth sequence without leaving the studio.
How it will benefit you
Navigation will be easier, tools will be more powerful, and the interface will be cleaner and more accessible. In practice, you’ll declutter, restyle, enhance, and stage photos in minutes—with consistent results and full control. All edits happen in one organized place—no switching tools, no losing your spot.
Property-First Navigation
Improved
What will be improved
We’re simplifying your workspace by making properties your central hub. Instead of managing individual orders one by one, you’ll work from a properties dashboard where every order, visual, and document for each property lives in one organized place.
How it will benefit you
Manage properties the way you actually work—by address, not by order number. All past and current orders for the same property are grouped together, so you can see the complete history and status of each listing without hunting through separate order pages. One property, one place, everything accessible.

Email Forwarding
Added
What has been added
We introduced dual-path automatic CC functionality with permanent team settings and order-specific stakeholder inclusion to eliminate communication gaps in your workflow.
How it benefits you
You maintain seamless communication logistics across two levels—your core team stays informed on all projects while property-specific stakeholders receive targeted updates, ensuring smooth coordination without manual oversight.
Learn more
What has been added
We built comprehensive automatic CC functionality with two distinct communication routes to address both internal team coordination and property-specific stakeholder management.
- Team-focused permanent CCs: Set default team members in your profile settings—assistants, colleagues, supervisors—who automatically receive updates on every order
- Property-focused order CCs: Add specific stakeholders during booking for individual properties—owners, concierges, cleaning crews, tenants, facility managers
- Flexible control: Remove default team CCs from sensitive orders when discretion is required
- Complete communication timeline: All recipients receive real-time notifications from order confirmation through completion
How it benefits you
Eliminate communication bottlenecks by ensuring the right people get the right information automatically. Your internal team maintains visibility across your entire portfolio while property stakeholders—whether owners, concierges, or cleaning crews—receive targeted updates only for their relevant properties. This dual-path approach removes the administrative burden of managing multiple communication threads while giving you full control over who knows what, when. Everyone involved in preparing and managing the property stays synchronized without requiring your constant oversight.
