May 2026 - CO Signatures, A Fresh Look, Vendor Notes & More

We've shipped a batch of updates aimed at keeping the back office moving as fast as your crews including change order signatures, a fresh look across the platform, smarter sync error resolution, and a few quality-of-life upgrades.

🎨 A Fresh Look for Adaptive

Same Adaptive, sharper edges.

You'll notice a fresh coat of paint this month β€” our deeper green, cleaner buttons, a little more room to breathe. Everything you use every day is in the same place: WIP, jobs, bills, POs, vendors, reports, settings, search.

Want the tour? Navigating the Adaptive Interface walks through the sidebar, workspace switcher, keyboard shortcuts, and the AI Assistant.

Reach out to support if anything feels off.

✍️ Signatures for Change Orders (Beta)

One of our most-requested features is here. No more chasing signatures through email threads or rebuilding PDFs by hand. You can now send, track, and collect change order sign-off without leaving Adaptive, and keep your budget protected from unsigned scope.

  • New External Change Order type, built for COs that need owner or external sign-off

  • Dedicated external signing page β€” recipients can review and sign without needing an Adaptive login

  • Redesigned Change Order PDF that incorporates the signature into the document

  • Sign, decline, or comment on a signature request to push back or ask questions in-flow

  • Comments and Activity timeline on every Change Order for full visibility

  • New Type and Status columns on the Changes table for quick filtering

  • Budget customization β€” apply only signed change orders to your Budget, so unsigned COs don't inflate your numbers prematurely

πŸ‘‰ Try this: Open a Change Order, set its type to External, and send it out for signature.

✍️ More Flexible Lien Waiver Templates

We always dropped the signature section at the bottom β€” but a few of you asked for more control. Now you've got it.

You can add a +Signature section anywhere in your lien waiver template β€” multiple times if needed, with text before or after. Customize to match exactly how your team (or your owners) want it.

πŸ‘‰ Try this: Edit a lien waiver template and use +Signature section to place signatures wherever they need to go.

⏸️ Inactive Approval Workflows

You can now create approval workflows in an Inactive state. Useful when:

  • You're heading out on leave and want to pause instead of delete

  • You want to stage new workflows before going live

  • Your account manager builds workflows in advance for you to review and enable

πŸ‘‰ Try this: Set an existing workflow to Inactive, then flip it back when ready.

πŸ€– "Solve with AI" on Sync Error Alerts

Hit a sync error? Click the new Solve with AI action, and the AI Assistant will investigate the root cause and give you specific instructions to resolve the conflict so the object can sync. No more guesswork.

πŸ‘‰ Try this: Next sync error you see, hit Solve with AI and let the agent walk you through it.

πŸ“ Vendor Notes

Ever wished you had one spot to capture context on a vendor β€” payment quirks, who to call, that thing they always get wrong on invoices? Now you do.

Head to any vendor's detail page and you'll see a new Notes tab. Drop in whatever's useful and @mention teammates to loop them in.

  • Add notes directly on the vendor record so context lives where you'd actually look for it

  • @mention internal teammates to start a conversation

  • Coming soon: the ability to @mention the vendor themselves, turning Notes into a direct comms channel

πŸ‘‰ Try this: Open a vendor, click into Notes, and drop in anything your team should know.

πŸ’‘ Bite-Sized Improvements

  • Mobile release 15.6.717 is live with bug fixes, improvements, and groundwork for upcoming AI features.

  • Multi-row selection now has a subtle indicator showing how many rows you're about to select or deselect β€” no more accidental Shift+click surprises.

πŸŽ“ Weekly Adaptive Workshops β€” Every Thursday at 11 AM CT

Join us live for hands-on sessions, real workflows, and direct Q&A with our team.
