What's new — and how to see it

Eighty-four changes reached customers this week across five areas of the studio. The through-line: the homeowner can now do more of the deciding themselves, and the design firm can now set its own price. Each item below says where to find it — look for the Find it marker.

A presentation deck for every design option
Flagship

The slide-style reveal a designer walks a homeowner through used to be one-per-project. Now every design direction carries its own deck — and the homeowner can finally pick the one they want, inside the product.

  • A deck per option Each design option builds its own deck from that option's own numbers and mood board, so a designer can view or generate any option's deck without disturbing the one that's currently live. Find it Open a project Presentation the Option pill row (the live one reads Active) Generate / View deck
  • Homeowners choose their direction On the client review page, each option shows an estimated total and a Choose this option button. Picking one makes it the live project and files the rest away — the last hand-held step of the core flow is now self-serve. Find it The client Review & choose link heading "Choose your direction"
  • Deck prices now match the quote Deck totals include the firm's markup and drop any line items the designer hid, so the deck agrees with every other screen the client sees. (Change the markup later? Regenerate the deck to reprice it.) Find it Any generated deck's room and overall totals
  • Polish: cleaner quote slide, no broken images A new quote-slide headline ("You'll feel the difference before you notice the details") and a graceful Leonard Morris watermark panel wherever an image is missing — instead of a broken-image icon — in both the on-screen deck and the exported PDF.
Your price, your margin
New capability

A design firm can now add its own margin on top of Leonard Morris list pricing, so its homeowner clients see the firm's price — not ours. It's off (0%) until a firm turns it on, and our own cost stays invisible.

  • Company markup — one firm-wide default Set a single percentage that's added to every client-facing price. The designer's working budget still shows list; only what the client sees carries the markup. Find it Settings Budget Defaults the Company Markup card · org admins
  • Per-project override Raise or lower margin on a single job without touching the firm default; Clear override reverts to it. Find it A project Settings Homeowner Markup — this project
  • Clients never see our cost Internal Leonard Morris cost and margin figures are now stripped from everything sent to a designer's or client's browser — even buried inside a saved pricing snapshot or an edit-history record. Nothing to look at; that's the point.
Budget & Selections, in one place
Studio experience

The itemized budget and the exportable selections schedule now live together and stay in sync on their own — no more wondering whether the export matches what you just changed.

  • One home for budget and selections The old standalone "Selections and Pricing" tab is now a sub-tab right next to the budget. Old bookmarks redirect automatically. Find it A project Budget Selections Summary & Export
  • The schedule refreshes itself Change a product, open the export tab, and the priced schedule regenerates on its own (a brief "Updating selections…" spinner), then exports to CSV or Excel. Find it Change a product on Budget click Selections Summary & Export
  • An "Out of date" warning you can trust An amber Out of date pill now flags a presentation deck whose budget changed after the deck was generated — a nudge to regenerate before sharing. Find it A project Presentation the current-version card
  • Smaller fixes you'll feel Collapsed rooms stay collapsed after a refresh; hidden line items stay out of totals and exports (and come back cleanly when re-included); and older projects no longer show $0 on the Compare Options view.
Share a project — safely — with clients and builders
Access

Projects can now go in front of people outside the firm — homeowners and outside builders — each dropped into their own read-only view, with internal pricing walled off.

  • Invite by email Enter an email and pick a role — Client (read-only) or Builder (read-only, plus can flag schedule risk). They now get a real invite email that lands them straight in the project. Find it A project Overview Share
  • A "Construction Scope" view for outsiders Builders and clients see a room-by-room bill of finishes for the committed option — product, quantity, and totals — at list prices only. Reads "No scope yet" until an option is committed. Find it The external viewer's Construction Scope tab
  • Set the project type Mark a project Remodel or New build; the choice drives the deck's cover headline ("Your home, reimagined." vs. "Your vision, made visible.") and the AI copy pass can no longer overwrite it. Find it A project Settings Project type
  • Staff edits are labeled When Leonard Morris staff make a change on a client's behalf, it now carries an LM Concierge badge in the project's history, so a designer can always tell a concierge edit from their own team's. Find it A project History
Floor-plan takeoff — it stops losing your work
Reliability

The parts of the product where a floor plan gets re-analyzed and edited were quietly dropping manual work. Several fixes closed that gap.

  • Roll back an analysis without wiping the budget Restoring or undoing a floor-plan analysis now keeps the room list and the budget in sync with what was restored — and you can no longer start a rollback while the analysis is still running. Find it A project Takeoff editor History Restore / Undo last change
  • The review queue stops losing edits Staff fixing failed takeoffs no longer have room details (doors, flooring, cabinets, trim, window counts) blanked out on save, and Complete Review is blocked while edits are unsaved. Find it Staff /admin/review-queue
  • Deleting a room re-prices every version A single-room delete now updates the price on every saved option of the project, not just the one you happen to be looking at.
See it in ten minutes

Try this week's flagship yourself

A four-step tour through the loop that changed the most — per-option decks, your own margin, client sign-off, and a self-syncing export.

  1. Browse the option decks. Open a project that has more than one design option Presentation click between the Option pills and hit View deck.
  2. Set your margin and watch prices move. Settings Budget Defaults set a Company Markup, then open a deck and Regenerate — client prices step up by that percentage.
  3. Play the client. A project Overview Share, invite yourself as a Client, open the Review & choose link, and Choose your direction.
  4. Export a live schedule. Budget change any product Selections Summary & Export watch it refresh, then download the CSV.
What's next

On the near horizon

A note on cadence: unlike the last update — where thirty-plus changes sat on our staging branch waiting for a release — this week the team promoted to production continuously. Staging is essentially caught up with what's live, so there's no hidden backlog; what shipped is what's here. A couple of known follow-ups are already queued:

Why this matters

The strategic read

Product
The client decision loop is closed
A homeowner can now see their options and choose one themselves, inside the product. The last step of the core flow that still needed a person on the phone is now self-serve — which is what lets the model scale past hand-holding.
Business model
The margin is the firm's to set
Markup controls turn this from "Leonard Morris's prices" into a platform a design firm runs its own pricing on — a concrete step toward serving many firms — with a hard guarantee that our own cost never leaks to them or their clients.
Growth
Safe to hand to outsiders
Projects can now go to clients and builders by email, each boxed into a read-only view with internal pricing walled off. That's what turns sharing into a growth lever instead of a data-exposure risk.
