We’ve made Sidekick smarter in Preproduction and more reliable on the shop floor, especially on real-world networks that like to act haunted. WHAT’S NEW • Improved Specifications - The Ink Specifications tab now supports embroidery thread colors and additional decoration processes including DTF, DTG, HTF, and HTV, so your specs stay accurate even when the job isn’t ink-on-mesh. • Network Improvements - Better handling for tricky network conditions to improve auto-discovery reliability and reduce connection issues between Sidekick and Sherpa. • Smoother Roster Completion Flow - When you mark a uniform/player as done, Sidekick now jumps to the next unfinished one automatically (instead of just the next row), so you can move faster with fewer taps. • Clearer, Consistent Roster Labels - Field labels on the Decoration Roster now match Sherpa, so what you see on the iPad lines up with what you see on the desktop. • More Reliable Production Navigation - Fixed a crash that could occur in Production when tapping the Decorations toolbar button. • Preferences That Actually Stick - Fixed an issue where the Audio Cues toggle in Decorations wasn’t always saving correctly. • Better Dark Mode Readability - Improved contrast in a few places so key messages and screens stay easy to read in dark mode, including the “Searching for Sherpa” overlay. • Layout and Control Fixes - Updated iOS compatibility settings so switches and controls don’t blow up the layout on different devices and iPad versions. Have feedback or ideas? We’re always listening, tell us what would help Sidekick better support your team. This update requires Sherpa Pro Shop version 1.5.0 or later.

We’ve made Sidekick more flexible and easier to use—whether you’re tracking screens or just keeping jobs moving. WHAT’S NEW • Optional Screen Tracking – Sidekick now lets you move jobs to Production without assigning screens—as long as your screen inventory is empty. This is ideal for shops not using Sherpa to track screen age and wear. Once you add one or more screens to your inventory, Sidekick will enforce screen assignment on every job. • Simpler Navigation – The Back and Next toolbar buttons now use arrow icons, making it more obvious how to move between production phases. Have feedback or ideas? We’re always listening—let us know what would help Sidekick better support your team. This update requires Sherpa version 1.3.0 or later.

We’ve made Sidekick even more reliable for busy production floors and on-the-go reviews. This update focuses on a smoother experience when network hiccups happen. WHAT’S NEW • Smarter Reconnects – Sidekick is now more resilient to network drops and can seamlessly reconnect to Sherpa without interrupting your workflow. Have feedback or ideas? We’re always listening—let us know what would help Sidekick better support your team. This improvement requires Sherpa version 1.3.0 or later.

We’ve made it easier than ever to prep and review custom jobs on the go. This release adds one of our most requested features to streamline your decoration workflow. WHAT’S NEW • Decoration Dimensions at a Glance – You’ll now see the artwork’s width and height directly on the decoration screen, giving you clearer context for placement and sizing decisions. Have feedback or ideas? We’re always listening—let us know what would help Sidekick better support your team. This improvement requires Sherpa version 1.3.0 or later.
