Working with photos

The Photos tab holds every photo on the project. Drop files onto the upload zone or use the camera tile to capture straight from a phone. As each photo lands, it's tagged in the background so you can search by what's in the shot, not just the filename.

Uploading

Drag files onto the upload zone, or tap the camera tile to capture. When you capture from a phone you can pick the room first, so the photo is filed before it's even taken. A pill at the bottom of the screen shows how many photos are still being tagged — search keeps filling in until it clears.

AI tagging and descriptions

Every uploaded photo runs through tagging. The tags stay invisible, but they power search: type "baseboard" or "water line" and you'll get photos that show those things even if nobody typed a caption. If your organization has auto-descriptions turned on, each photo also gets a short written description you can edit in the lightbox.

Filtering and search

The toolbar filters narrow the grid: search text, room, phase, capture date, and salvageable status. Filters stack, so you can pull up "kitchen photos from the 14th marked not salvageable" in a few clicks. The count strip tells you how many photos are showing out of the total.

The actions menu

The kebab (⋮) next to Share photos holds the rest of the photo actions:

• Share photos — pick photos and email a secure link to your client.
• Batch tag photos — select photos and tag rooms and phases in bulk.
• Manage shared links — resend, copy, or revoke any link you've already sent. This appears once you've shared at least once.

The header of the menu shows the total photo count and how many links are still active. If you've sent anything, an Activity section lists recent sends and views.

Batch tagging

Choose Batch tag photos, select the photos you want, then set the room and phases and apply. You can also mark photos salvageable or total-loss here. Photos a Contents phase already owns are skipped — those are managed on the Contents inventory instead.

Sharing with clients

Share photos puts the grid into share mode. Pick the photos, hit Next, and the share sheet opens: choose a recipient, set how long the link stays live, add a note, and send. The client opens a clean web gallery — no login. Once a link is out, Manage shared links is where you resend it, copy the URL, or revoke access.
