Release Notes

  • Updated

September 2026

  • The new Procore project setup agent: Automation makes it easier to roll out OpenSpace across your portfolio. Set your rules once, and OpenSpace can automatically create projects, add the right users and permissions, and configure the Procore integration—then keep everything in sync as your projects evolve. See our Support article.
  • Project settings: Your options for project settings in the desktop app now appear as a vertical layout instead of horizontally on a top menu.

August 2026

  • Autodesk custom Issue support for Integrated Field Notes: If you’re using custom, company-defined Issues in Autodesk, you can now manage them entirely through OpenSpace. Log Issues on-site with your phone, and images, location, and all details come with it. Use AI Voice Notes to capture without typing, and AI Autolocation to pin Issues to the right spot automatically. Updates sync both ways with Autodesk, so everything stays aligned. For teams running custom Autodesk Issues, this means your full workflow, from logging to syncing, now runs end-to-end in OpenSpace. See our Support article.
  • Sheets: We rolled out big improvements to viewing and navigating project data on your sheets in OpenSpace. PDF sheets stay crisp as you zoom, and an updated side panel makes it easier to control what’s visible. View Field Notes and 360° captures alongside your sheet. Plus, workflow updates like hover previews for Field Note pins, interactive Zones, and date filters for 360° videos and pins make navigation faster.
  • Insta360 X6 camera now supported: OpenSpace now supports 360° video and 360° photo capture with the Insta360 X6. The camera's near-1-inch sensor sharpens image quality, and it's the first 360° camera we support at 8K resolution for timelapse mode. Better performance in high heat and longer battery life round out the upgrade.
  • OpenSpace Track Executive View: In Executive View you can now view and download tracking scope—a task breakdown for every phase. Learn more about OpenSpace Track in our new OpenSpace Academy course.
  • OpenSpace BIM+ available for all: Our user-friendly 3D tools in OpenSpace BIM+ bring BIM coordination to the field, and now these features are included in all OpenSpace subscriptions. Learn more about connecting your crew and office with BIM on our website.
  • Integrated Field Notes: Just like regular Field Notes, you can now create Autodesk and Procore Integrated Field Notes while offline, so work can keep moving even with a bad or no connection.

July 2026

  • Desktop app navigation: Find a reorganized sidebar to make things easier to find. Images is now 360° viewer, and Captures and Field Notes now live inside the 360° viewer—right where you’d expect them.
  • OpenSpace Air:
    • Exports: New OpenSpace Air exports make it easier to bring visual data into your workflows—from CAD coordination to survey verification.
      • Export the 3D mesh as an OBJ for Navisworks, Revit, and other CAD tools.
      • Download drone images from any capture.
      • Pull a processing report to check image alignment, GSD, and GCP accuracy yourself.
    • Overlay-to-overlay alignment: When there’s nothing but dirt or grass on-site, it can be difficult to align detailed plans to a drone map. Instead, you can now align a broader site plan that’s easy to match to the map, then use it as the reference for your other drawings. That means you can place utilities, foundations, buildings, and other planned work on the map before construction begins—for a clearer picture of what’s coming.
  • Integrated Field Notes (Field Notes linked and synced with Autodesk Issues or Procore Observations and Punch Items):
    • You can now add attachments to Integrated Field Notes directly in OpenSpace. Plus, attachments you add in Procore or Autodesk will also automatically sync back into OpenSpace. Learn more in our Support articles: Managing Procore Integrated Field Notes and Managing Autodesk Integrated Field Notes.
    • When viewing Integrated Field Notes, you can now filter your list by data fields like Procore assignee and Autodesk location.
  • OpenSpace Track Executive View: In Executive View, the phase dropdown now shows Actual / Planned progress for every construction phase, plus an overall figure for all phases. This means you can see which phases are on track or falling behind at a glance, compare phases, and know where to focus without clicking into each one.
  • Mobile app on Android: Log in to see an updated look and feel, including a transparent navigation bar.

June 2026

  • OpenSpace Air: We recently held a webinar highlighting OpenSpace Air updates and new features released over the past year, including:
    • Upload videos and 360° panoramas for a full site view—helpful for client communication. Everything pins automatically to the map. Support article.
    • Do a 360° capture and on top of a drone orthomosaic. No need to wait for drawings to capture or start creating Field Notes. Great for preconstruction, early sitework, and fast-start projects. Support article.
    • Volume measurements now support up to five comparison surfaces. Measure against a best-fit plane, custom elevation, or a previous capture. Support article.
    • New upload experience with a higher image cap to support larger, more complex projects. Support article.
  • Integrated Field Notes:
    • You can now add comments to Integrated Field Notes, in the mobile and desktop apps. Everything stays aligned with two-way sync. 
    • In the mobile app, you can now view Integrated Field Notes pinned to your sheets (same as Field Notes).
  • BIM models in mobile app: If your project has only one model, that model will open automatically—rather than needing to pick it from a drop-down menu.

May 2026

  • Field Notes & Split View: If you create a Field Note with Split View open, both images will be included as the primary photo in the Field Note. Learn more about creating and managing Field Notes in our Support article. 
  • Integrated Field Notes:
  • AI Voice Notes now in desktop app: In addition to using your voice to log Field Notes with AI Voice Notes in our mobile app, you can now also do so from your browser in the desktop app. When you add a new Field Note, simply click Dictate with AI. And as in the mobile app, language defaults to the language on your browser/device, but you can use the drop-down to change your language.
  • Sheet capture indicators: When a project's sheets are downloading to a device, you'll now see the estimated time remaining. Also, when sheets are processing, you'll see the number of captures that are pending.

April 2026

  • New BIM viewer: We built a new OpenSpace BIM viewer from the ground up, including on mobile. Large, complex models load faster, navigate more smoothly, and render more reliably—on your phone in our app, or on the laptop in your field office. That means a reduction in field teams asking questions of the BIM experts.
  • OpenSpace Track:
    • New name: We renamed OpenSpace Progress Tracking to OpenSpace Track. Same product, updated name.
    • Site Plan View: The Site Plan View in OpenSpace Track is a new way to navigate complex construction projects using the drawings your team already works from. Drill up for a full-site overview. Drill down to a specific zone, building, or floor. Ideal for the spatial context your progress reporting needs when managing large, multi-phase sites—progress data, captured imagery, and tracking scope are all tied directly to location on the plan. 
  • Map view: You can now see your projects around the globe on desktop with the new map view option on your Organization page. Jump right to the jobsite you need for faster navigation and better visibility across your portfolio. Learn about navigating your projects in our Support article.
  • Volume measurements for drones: Volume measurements in OpenSpace Air now support five comparison surfaces (the reference plane used to calculate cut, fill, and net volume). That means in addition to measuring against a best fit plane, you can compare against minimum elevation, maximum elevation, a custom elevation you enter manually, or a previous drone capture. If you're tracking excavation progress over time or comparing against a target grade, it’s now easy to measure against what actually matters for your workflow. Learn more about creating measurements in OpenSpace Air in our Support article.
  • Field Notes, View 360: When you access a Field Note from the Field Notes tab on mobile, you’ll now see a View 360 option in the three-dot menu—jump from the Field Note into the 360 pano view.
  • Field Notes reports with latitude and longitude: If your sheets are GPS registered, Field Notes reports exported as a CSV will include their latitude and longitude coordinates. Use them to pull Field Notes into mapped-based systems such as ArcGIS. Learn more about Admin reporting in our Support article.
  • Enabling Procore integrations: Our new setup wizard guides you through all the steps to enable the Procore integration. Find details in our Support article. Learn more about two-way sync with Field Notes and Procore Observations and Punch Items in this Support article.

March 2026

  • AI Voice Notes:
    • You can now create AI Voice Notes in OpenSpace Field using both Android and iOS in all regions.
    • Set your preferred language for AI Voice Notes on mobile. Language defaults to the language on your device, but now when you choose to Dictate with AI, you’ll see a drop-down to change your language.
  • Integrated Field Notes:
    • Now in the mobile app, you can edit Integrated Field Notes (as well as create and view). Integrated Field Notes are Autodesk Issues or Procore Punchlists and Observations created directly in OpenSpace using Field Notes—with all data automatically aligned with two-way sync. Learn more in our Autodesk Integrated Field Notes and Procore Integrated Field Notes Support articles.
    • On desktop, the Download PDF option is now also available for Integrated Field Notes for Procore Punch Items and Autodesk Issues (along with Procore Observations).
  • Downloading models for offline use: Eliminating any confusion, when a BIM model finishes downloading for offline use, you’ll see a green icon confirming the download is complete. Learn more about using your model offline in our Support article.
  • Org Admins can control onboarding checklists: As a first step in feature control updates we’ll be releasing for Org and Site Admins, Org Admins can now go to the self-serve Feature Controls dashboard and toggle on or off the onboarding checklist for editors and viewers across your organization. The onboarding checklist is on by default, but now an Org Admin can turn it off if desired—no need to log a ticket with our Support team.
  • Selecting Autodesk Issues in the mobile app: When selecting an issue from the Type list in mobile, you’ll now see the choices categorized by parent type (the same as what you see in the desktop app).
  • Elevation calibration: We added automatic elevation calibration for drone captures in OpenSpace Air—correcting inconsistencies that can occur with some drones—so your elevation maps and DSMs better match real-world conditions.

February 2026

  • OpenSpace Field: OpenSpace Field is now generally available and included in OpenSpace Core and Enterprise subscriptions. Use your smartphone to capture issues, punch items, and inspections faster with visual proof and automatic location pinning. Create Procore and Autodesk items in OpenSpace, and both systems stay in sync. OpenSpace Field rolled out to customers in February—contact your rep with questions. Learn more in OpenSpace Academy and our website.  (OpenSpace Field is unavailable for GSA customers.) Features include:
    • AI Voice Notes: Create complete tasks by talking while you’re on-site. This means less typing and tapping on pull-down menus. Say what you see, and our AI fills in all the details—assignee, due date, trade tags, status—automatically. Learn more in our blog and our Support article.
    • AI Autolocation: AI Autolocation pins every Field Note to your exact spot—even indoors. Set your location once, and OpenSpace tracks where you are in real time, removing the need for manual pinning or guessing. Learn more in our Support article.
    • Media Library and AI Search: OpenSpace Field includes an overhauled camera flow in the mobile app and a Media Library. Snap photos and OpenSpace automatically indexes everything. With AI Search on desktop and mobile you can search by keyword or context using the language you use on the jobsite to find any photo.
  • Overhead captures: Capture what’s happening overhead during your 360° walk (like MEP rough-ins, structural elements, and above-ceiling spaces) so you can better track installation as work progresses. OpenSpace automatically identifies and processes overhead shots and integrates them seamlessly with standard captures. This feature requires no extra setup or tagging. See our Support article. (Overhead captures are unavailable for GSA customers.) 
  • Search bar on capture list on mobile: When viewing your list of captures in the mobile app, you’ll see a search bar at the top of the list to make it easier to find what you need.

January 2026

In January we released some behind-the-scenes enhancements that improve quality and efficiency.
