## A quick recap

Last month we released the Booking Details Page v2, a modernised experience with new capabilities such as bulk editing vehicles on a booking. The response was lovely: many of you told us you loved the new page and its features. Some of you also shared great suggestions, mostly around hierarchy, colour and making the most important information easier to find. Version 2.1 brings those suggestions to life.

## What is new in v2.1
---

### Your vehicles, without the scrolling

Vehicles are the heart of a booking and they sat too far down the page. The v2.1 layout brings your vehicle list into **view without scrolling**, with supporting sections made more compact to give the vehicles table the position it deserves. Bulk edit functions are still available!

---
### Colour that guides you

Each section now carries its own colour through a thin bar and icon, so you can tell at a glance where you are on the page while everything stays calm and readable.

---
### Better comments

Comments now show the author's **profile picture**, so you can see who said what at a glance. Conversations on busy bookings are much easier to follow.

---
## Tell us what you think

We know your day does not pause while we improve our software. This release was shaped by your suggestions, and the next one will be too. Whether you have praise, an idea or something that slows you down, **open the chat bubble and tell us**. We will get back to you in minutes.

## More detail, less back and forth

We've added a small change that makes a real difference to how teams communicate about a job. You can now include photo links in the comments on bookings and quote requests.

A photo often explains in seconds what a paragraph struggles to capture. With this update, anyone working on a booking can point to a clear visual reference without leaving the comment thread.

___

## When it helps most

This is especially handy for larger or more unusual freight, where dimensions, access and handling all matter. Picture a job involving heavy or oversized equipment such as a crane. A photo link gives everyone the same picture of what is being carried, so the people quoting, dispatching and driving are all working from the same understanding.

The result is fewer assumptions, fewer follow up questions and a smoother run from quote through to delivery.

___

## How it works

When you add or reply to a comment on a booking or quote request, you can now include a photo link alongside your message. Everyone with access to that booking can see the reference, keeping the relevant context in one place rather than scattered across emails and messages.

___

## Available now

The feature is live for all users. Next time you are working through a quote or a booking with items that are tricky to describe in words, add a photo link and let the picture do the talking.

___

### Important: Make sure the image is publicly available


Blink now lets you add photo links to comments on bookings and quote requests, making it easier to share visual detail about the freight being moved.

<p><strong>We've rebuilt the Booking Details Page.</strong></p>

<p>Managing a booking on Blink used to mean jumping between tabs. Vehicles in one place. Comments in another. The activity log somewhere else. Integration data tucked behind a menu.</p>

<p>The new Booking Details Page brings everything onto a single scrollable screen, with a refreshed design built around the work you actually do, not the way the data happens to be modelled. Here is what is new.</p>

<hr>
<hr>

<h2>Bulk item edits</h2>

<p>Select multiple vehicles with checkboxes and edit shared fields (PO number, price, status) in one go. Allocate, complete or cancel several vehicles at once.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Edit PO numbers across many items in a single action.</li>
  <li>Update price and status without opening each row.</li>
  <li>Allocate, complete or cancel in bulk.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tip: the action toolbar appears above the items table as soon as you select one or more rows.</em></p>

<hr>
<hr>

<h2>Customisable vehicle table</h2>

<p>Pick the columns that matter to you, reorder them by drag and drop, and your preference is saved for next time. Different dispatchers care about different fields, and now the table can finally reflect that.</p>

<p>Available columns include Make, Model, Rego No., VIN, Stock No., PO No., Price excl. GST, Driver Pay, and Status. Click the column settings icon at the top right of the items table to choose your layout.</p>

<hr>
<hr>

<h2>Comments and audit log, side by side</h2>

<p>Comments and the activity log now sit next to each other, both fully searchable. Comments also carry role tags so you can see who said what at a glance:</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Carrier.</strong> Visible to everyone on the booking.</li>
  <li><strong>Shipper.</strong> Visible to everyone on the booking.</li>
  <li><strong>Internal Note.</strong> Visible only to your team.</li>
</ul>

<hr>
<hr>

<p>Every event is logged in the activity timeline. Use the search bar to find any change instantly. Try searching for "invoice" or "delivered" to see it in action.</p>

<hr>
<hr>

<h2>The all in one view</h2>

<p>Customer, route, items, financial summary, comments, activity, attachments, integrations. Every section now lives on one scrollable page. No tabs. No hidden menus.</p>

<p>The new top section gives you everything you need at a glance: header, customer details, tracking notifications, booking info, collection and delivery, all together. The vehicle items table sits below, with comments and the activity timeline at the bottom of the page.</p>

<hr>

<h2>Quick reply on pending bookings</h2>

<p>Carriers can <strong>Accept</strong>, <strong>Negotiate</strong> or <strong>Reject</strong> a pending booking directly from the booking page. Shippers can Accept or Reject pending shipper bookings the same way.</p>

<p>No more digging into a separate workflow to action a request. The answer sits right inside the Booking Details card.</p>

<hr>
<hr>

<h2>A few smaller wins</h2>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Integration logs, inline.</strong> Integration logs are now visible to integrated users right alongside everything else.</li>
  <li><strong>Inline booking labels.</strong> Labels show next to the booking ID for faster recognition, so you can spot the bookings you have tagged without opening them.</li>
</ul>

<hr>

<h2>Try it now</h2>

<p>Open any booking and follow the prompt to try the new page. A built in product tour walks you through the highlights in about 30 seconds. If something feels off, use the <a href="https://forms.gle/NfwjMTf2GQVnnbt86">feedback form here</a> or live chat, we're listening.</p>

<p>Welcome to the new Booking Details Page.</p>

Blink gets a new booking page with all in one view, revamped comments and audit logs, and better access to vehicle details.
