Enrol from anywhere with Google. Sign in with your organisation's Google account and the workstation's card designs and cardholders reach this phone through your own Google Drive, with no office network to pair on. Enrol people, take their photos, capture signatures and queue cards to print wherever you are; the workstation takes it all in within a minute of its next look, and the record screen tells you when it has. In the office, pair on the network as well. A signature or photo the workstation asks for still comes that way, the quick way, while everything else keeps travelling through Google. Also in this version: barcodes and QR codes now appear on the cards this phone draws, syncing is faster, and the lock asks again after a refused Face ID.

Credentials Studio has a new home at credentials-studio.com. The Privacy Policy and Support links in the About section of the Sync screen now open at my.credentials-studio.com. Nothing else changes: pairing, enrolment, photos, signatures and printing work exactly as before, and the old addresses keep redirecting.

Take a cardholder's photo when the workstation asks for one. In Credentials Studio, open a person's photo and choose Phone. This app opens the photo capture for that person, and the photo goes straight onto their record, the same way a signature already could. The phone needs to be on the same network as the workstation.

Fixes for problems that could lose work. Editing a cardholder can no longer clear their details. If a card design's field list had not yet reached this phone, the record screen showed no fields, and saving from that screen erased the person's name, number and every other value, here and on the workstation. Records now show their details, and people are listed under the right name. Previously only the design you had open had its field list fetched, so a design you had not opened showed records with no details, an edit screen with no boxes, and could list someone under the wrong field. Card artwork updates after a workstation is upgraded, instead of keeping the older picture. Portrait designs in particular could stay cropped long after the workstation itself was fixed. Printing is safer. A print that is retried can no longer produce a second card, and a print that is still running is no longer reported as finished, so a jam or a ribbon running out is reported instead of silently losing the card. One design this app cannot read no longer stops everything. Previously a single unreadable design left the app with no designs, no records and no enrolment at all. Enrolment drives are lighter on the network: one device's change no longer makes every paired phone re-download everything.

Scan a card to find its holder. Point the camera at the barcode or QR code on a printed card and the app opens that cardholder's record. If two designs share the same number, it asks which one you scanned rather than guessing. The scan button sits beside the add button on the card and cardholder screens, on both iPhone and iPad.

iPad support. The app now runs on iPad, with designs and records side by side, in any orientation. Photos from the library. Take a photo or choose one you already have; both go through the same crop. Honest conflicts. If a record changed at the workstation while the phone was away, the phone now asks which version should win instead of guessing. A clearer queue. See what is waiting to sync and what needs attention, retry or discard individual items, and read exactly when the app is offline. Sturdier sync. The phone syncs by itself when the network returns, keeps a half-finished enrolment through interruptions, never prints the same queued card twice, and survives a workstation restored from backup. Plus better photo cropping, true-to-screen signatures, and search that handles thousands of cardholders.
