## New features

* NewIntegrations & automation  
### Workflows with a visual designer  
Build automations step by step in a visual designer. Start them from an event, a schedule or by hand, then add conditions, HTTP requests, entity updates, messages, delays, queries and variables. Every run is logged.

  * [Read the guide: Automate work with workflows →](/en-us/help/workflows)
  * [Read the guide: Build a workflow in the designer →](/en-us/help/workflow-designer)
* NewAdministration  
### Publish apps to the App Store  
Developers can publish apps with screenshots and free, one-time, subscription or usage-based pricing, submit them for review, manage API tokens, and follow installs and ratings. Users can read and write app reviews.

  * [Read the guide: Install apps from the App Store →](/en-us/help/app-store)
  * [Read the guide: Build on Transportial as a developer →](/en-us/help/developer-portal)
* NewCommunication  
### Chat with your customers in the customer portal  
Customers can now chat with your team directly from the customer portal. You choose whether the chat is shown in the portal.

  * [Read the guide: Use the customer portal →](/en-us/help/use-the-customer-portal)
  * [Read the guide: Set up the customer portal →](/en-us/help/customer-portal)
* NewCommunication  
### Automatic translation of chat messages  
Turn on automatic translation so chat messages between planners and drivers who speak different languages are translated for each reader.

  * [Read the guide: Chat with colleagues and drivers →](/en-us/help/messages-and-chat)
* NewDrivers  
### Bulk availability with rotation schedules  
Set availability for many drivers or pieces of transport equipment at once from the planners, including rotation patterns such as a number of weeks on followed by weeks off.

  * [Read the guide: Plan driver availability →](/en-us/help/driver-activities)
  * [Read the guide: Use the drivers planner →](/en-us/help/chauffeur-planner)
* NewPlanning  
### Compare route alternatives and drag routes on the map  
When calculating a trip route, compare fastest, eco and cheapest alternatives on toll, travel time and emissions. You can also drag the route on the map to reshape it, and it is recalculated as you go.

  * [Read the guide: Calculate a route with the route planner →](/en-us/help/route-planner)
  * [Read the guide: Create a trip →](/en-us/help/create-a-trip)
* NewFinance  
### Invoice straight from a transport order  
Create an invoice from a transport order in one click. Payment status is now synced back from Exact Online, Moneybird and Twinfield, so you can see which invoices have been paid.

  * [Read the guide: Prices, costs and invoices of a transport order →](/en-us/help/transport-order-financials)
  * [Read the guide: Create, send and follow up invoices →](/en-us/help/invoices)
* NewDocuments  
### Download orders, quotes and invoices in another language  
Pick a language when downloading a transport order, quote or invoice PDF, so every customer receives documents in their own language. Transport order views and PDFs also show delivery terms.

  * [Read the guide: Download a transport order PDF →](/en-us/help/transport-order-pdf)
  * [Read the guide: Create and send quotes →](/en-us/help/quotes)
  * [Read the guide: Create, send and follow up invoices →](/en-us/help/invoices)
* NewTransport orders  
### Rail, inland waterway and air bookings  
Besides road, you can now record bookings for rail, inland waterway and air legs on your trips, so multimodal transport is planned in one place.

  * [Read the guide: Add loading, unloading and other actions →](/en-us/help/transport-order-actions)

## Improvements

* ImprovedDocuments  
### Preview files without downloading them  
A new file viewer opens documents and images right in Transportial, and file types are recognized more reliably.

  * [Read the guide: Find and manage documents →](/en-us/help/documents)
  * [Read the guide: Add documents to a transport order →](/en-us/help/transport-order-attachments)
* ImprovedPlanning  
### Plan directly from a consignment and create trips faster  
Start planning straight from a consignment's detail view. Splitting an order into legs and turning them into trips takes fewer steps.

  * [Read the guide: Accept, decline and plan a transport order →](/en-us/help/process-transport-order)
  * [Read the guide: Split shipments into legs with the bulk trip planner →](/en-us/help/bulk-trip-planner)
* ImprovedPlanning  
### Smarter optimizer and a choice of optimizer engine  
The optimizer can now split trips, swap and relocate consignments between trips, and use idle vehicles, which leads to better-filled trips. You can also choose which route optimizer engine your platform uses.

  * [Read the guide: Create trips with the optimizer →](/en-us/help/optimizer)
  * [Read the guide: Configure planning and routing for the platform →](/en-us/help/platform-planning-and-routing-settings)
* ImprovedAdministration  
### Bulk actions and smarter filters in lists  
Set several vehicles, drivers, transport equipment or businesses to operational or inactive, or delete them, in one go. Transport order and consignment lists have more useful default filters, and grouped actions are shown together.

  * [Read the guide: Filter, sort and arrange lists →](/en-us/help/filters-and-tables)
* ImprovedOpenMove driver app  
### OpenMove: links open in the app and clearer sign-in help  
Links to OpenMove now open in the app, a contact screen was added, password-recovery errors are explained clearly, and location updates are sent from the dashboard.

  * [Read the guide: Install OpenMove and log in →](/en-us/help/openmove-install-and-log-in)
  * [Read the guide: Share your location →](/en-us/help/openmove-location-sharing)
