In the reports section we’ve added a new Daily Project Report feed. See all submitted reports you have permission to access for all projects in one place. This new feed supports filters, custom time ranges, and creating new reports.

Speaking of the daily project report, while creating new reports we’ve added an option when adding photos to the report to also upload the photos to the project’s Photos & Notes section.
