What's New at Signplanr
Product updates, announcements, and what's coming next for Signplanr.
Announcements
A big week of improvements aimed at the moments when you're managing dozens or hundreds of signs at once. Faster duplication, bulk editing, organiser-side photo uploads, and a new photo export — all live now.
- Create up to 100 identical signs in one go — define how many of that sign you need installed and we'll create that many separate signs, each with its own number, artwork, photos, and status.
- Duplicate any sign in two clicks — straight from the map or from the sign's detail page — when you need one more just like it.
- Bulk Edit on the Signs list — select any number of signs and update sign type, dimensions, mounting, material, due date, or custom field values in a single action.
- Bulk Replace Artwork — upload one file and apply it to every selected sign at once. Particularly handy after creating a batch of identical copies.
- Organisers can now upload installation photos directly from the desktop portal — useful when contractors send photos through other channels, or when you're documenting a job yourself.
- New Photo Export — generate a ZIP of every install photo on an event, with a dedicated Exports page, nav entry, and progress toast. Available on Business and Enterprise.
- Max photos per sign raised from 8 to 12 across all plans (1 main + up to 11 angles).
- Link event reference documents to signs — attach a master event-level document (site map, brand guidelines, install spec) once and link it to as many signs as you need, without making per-sign copies. Available on Pro and above.
- Sign number labels on the map now follow the sign — rotate a pin to match which way the sign physically faces and the number stays oriented with it, so it's still easy to read at a glance.
- Faster filtering when exporting — quickly search and pick the sign types or contractors you want included, instead of scrolling through long lists.
Plus the usual round of small improvements and fixes across the app. Plan availability noted on the items above; Copies, Duplication, Bulk Edit, Bulk Replace Artwork, organiser photo uploads, and the 12-photo limit are available on every plan including Free.
Due dates are now live on signs and surveys. Set an optional install-by or complete-by date and we'll surface what's overdue automatically — no separate spreadsheet, no extra tab to check.
- New Due date field on every sign and survey, with quick-pick chips for event start, event end, and +1 week.
- Overdue, Due today, and Due-this-week badges on lists, detail pages, and the contractor mobile app.
- New Overdue / Today / This week / This month / No due date filters on the signs and surveys tables, plus a sortable Due column.
- Bulk-set or clear due dates from the signs table. Available in CSV import and export — round-trip your scheduling in a spreadsheet if you want to.
- Contractor app auto-sorts overdue work to the top so the most urgent jobs are never buried.
Due dates are available on every plan, including Free. No new setup required — the field appears wherever you create or edit a sign or survey.
We're excited to announce that Site Surveys and Photo Annotation are now live in Signplanr. Before any sign gets produced or installed, someone needs to visit the site, measure walls, check angles, assess materials, and document what's needed. That process usually lives in a separate tool — not anymore.
- Create and assign surveys to contractors — they receive them instantly on their phone.
- Contractors capture photos, add notes, and annotate with measurements, angles, text labels, and freeform drawing — all from the field.
- Six preset colours, 20-step undo/redo, and pinch-to-zoom for precise annotation work.
- Once submitted, convert a completed survey directly into a sign record — photos and annotations carry across automatically.
- Works offline. Syncs when reconnected.
Site Surveys is available as an add-on for Starter plans and above. Get in touch if you'd like to give it a try.
We have shipped three new features built directly from your feedback:
- Customisable columns on the Signs table — show or hide any column to focus on the data that matters to you. Your preferences are saved automatically.
- Status filtering on the Map editor — a new Filter button in the toolbar lets you toggle sign statuses on and off instantly, so you can zero in on what needs attention without leaving the map.
- Organisation-wide Contractors view — a new Contractors tab on the Members page gives you a single, searchable view of every contractor across all your events, with the ability to manage access in bulk.
These features exist because you asked for them. We're always listening — get in touch to share your ideas.
We have released a number of small improvements, including:
- Adding filtering and ordering of the Signs page.
- Adding a dedicated Activity page per event so you can quickly see all updates in one spot.
- Reordering the Organiser Portal navigation menu for simpler navigation and creating space for Site Surveys.
Signplanr prioritises improvements directly from customer feedback.
We have resolved an issue where some customers were not receiving email confirmation emails. We have also resolved a separate issue where some customers were receiving an expired authentication link error and an organisation not created error upon sign up. We work with our customers to resolve issues as quickly as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience.
