Every change that makes CrossBeam better for the cities and builders who use it, written up the night it ships.

Applicant email keeps item numbers in order
When staff reword a screener email item so it spans two lines, the next item keeps its number instead of restarting at "1.". Continuation lines now stay part of the item above them when edits are merged into a hand-edited email.

Resubmittal briefs keep round 1 comment numbers
On a resubmittal, the brief keeps the first round's comment numbers, marks each comment Still open or New this round, and lists cleared comments under their old numbers. The re-check card reads, for example, "3 of 4 previous comments cleared".

Email typo check, round numbers and a Re-check button
The PreCheck form now suggests a fix for near-miss email domains like gmial.com, and the Terms step fits phones with the checkbox in a sticky footer. Receipts, status pages and emails show Round 2 of 3 for this address, and results have a Re-check your revised plans button showing free rounds left.

Screener stays connected to Tyler EnerGov
The new-application check against Tyler EnerGov now searches each permit number as an exact match instead of a broad text search, cutting each probe to a single page. That stops the city portal from rate-limiting CrossBeam, so the Screener Inbox and Incomplete Tasks no longer show sign-in errors.

Plain-language routing summary for City staff
The submittal routing panel now shows plan checkers a one- or two-sentence plain summary of how a submittal was routed, plus the permit number and name of each application found, instead of raw internal notes.

Building letter export includes missing information and comments
The Building letterhead export now carries Missing Information items and general comments, not just corrections. Following the City's own letters, they share one numbered list with the corrections under the structural and non-structural sections.
Laguna Beach references refreshed from the City site
Laguna Beach reference material now matches the City's current site: new ADU and SB 9 application numbers, three new applications, the latest public hearing notices and CDP exemption list, and recent monthly building reports, so answers and screenings cite current forms.

Evidence pins show on calc pages filed as sheets
Calc PDFs whose pages appear as sheet tabs now show their evidence pins on those tabs, and the Evidence chip zooms to the box. Sheets are also keyed by page, so plan sets with repeated sheet numbers no longer mix up findings between pages.
