Introducing Return Checklists, Bulk Editing & AI Product Creation

This release introduces faster inventory management, smarter AI-powered workflows, and new tools to help your team save time every day.

✏️ Faster Bulk Editing

Managing large inventories is now faster and more efficient. We've improved the bulk editing experience so you can update multiple products at once with fewer clicks, making routine inventory changes much easier.

✅ Return checklist

Make returns faster and more consistent with customizable return checklists. Staff and volunteers can quickly verify each tool's condition, accessories, and completeness before checking it back in, helping reduce mistakes and missing items.

🤖 AI-Powered Product Creation

Create products from multiple images using AI. Patio can now generate richer product information, more accurate descriptions, and key details automatically, reducing manual work and helping you build your inventory faster.

🛍️ User Menu Shop Search

Members can now search the shop menu to quickly find the page or category they're looking for. As your shop grows, navigation stays fast and easy.

🎉 Improvements
