Production Tracking

This update brings significant improvements to how you manage entity relationships, upload new work, and interact with data in the table view.

πŸ“€ Smarter Version Uploading

We’ve overhauled the manual version upload process from the Project Overview Page to prevent accidental duplicates and streamline your workflow.

  • Existing Product Matching: When you type a product name, AYON now checks for existing matches in that folder.

  • Auto-Versioning: If a match is found, the system automatically sets your upload to the next available version (e.g., v004 if v003 exists) and syncs the product type for you.

  • Product Picker: A new "inventory" icon next to the name input allows you to browse and select from existing products directly within the upload dialog.

πŸ”— Multiple Links

Managing repetitive relationships is now much cleaner with the redesigned Links Manager. Instead of seeing multiple identical entries, duplicate links to the same entity are now automatically grouped.

  • Count Badges: Grouped links now display a clear badge (e.g., x5) in both the Links Manager dialog and table cells.

  • Inline Editing: Need to change the number of links? Click the badge to open an inline input. Increasing or decreasing the number will automatically create or remove links in the background.

✍️ Inline Text Editing

The inline table text editing to make it easier to write longer and more descriptive brief.

This release focuses on visual clarity, refined project management, and significant UI improvements to streamline your production tracking.

🎨 Task and Folder Colors

Folders and tasks are now much easier to identify at a glance. AYON now pulls the colors defined in your Project Anatomy for folder and task types and applies them to their respective projects.

πŸ“¦ Streamlined Project Bundles

We’ve overhauled how you manage project-specific environments. Bundle controls have been moved directly into Project Settings to simplify your workflow.

  • Active Management: Once frozen, you can manage the specific contentsβ€”including addons and dependency packagesβ€”ensuring your project's pipeline remains stable and reproducible.

More details are available in Project Bundles documentation.
