Summer break? Never heard of it. Instead, we’ve been hard at work improving some of Apron’s best bits, and adding some new stuff to help you 10x your payment workflow.

Here’s what’s new this month.

Two-Factor Authentication and Passwords

Two-factor authentication, or 2FA as it’s called in the business, adds an extra layer of security to your account.

You can now enable 2FA on your Apron account by going to Personal settings > Login and security.

With 2FA enabled, you’ll be asked to verify your login attempt once a month using your Authenticator app. It’s quick, easy, and should give you added peace of mind that your account is ultra-safe.

Prefer to log in using a password? You can now do that, too. Set it up by going to Personal settings > Login and security.

Also coming soon: The option to make 2FA mandatory for your entire team via a simple toggle. Perfect for ensuring greater security across your whole practice. Stay tuned.

All new Practice Hub interface

We’ve given the Hub a refresh, making it even easier to see all of your clients at a glance in a single, streamlined interface.

The redesign makes it easier for Admins to see which team members are assigned to which clients, helping you to optimise how you spend your resources.

We’ve also introduced two new predefined roles, which determine what a user can see when they visit the Hub.

Practice Hub Admin: Full visibility and management capabilities inside the Practice Hub, including the ability to manage all clients, practice members, and subscriptions.

Practice Hub Member: Primarily responsible for performing payments and bookkeeping actions for their assigned clients.

Multi-photo upload and photo merging

Capture users on iOS can now select multiple photos from their gallery and upload them in one go, saving even more time.

iOS Capture users can also combine multiple photos into one document. This is especially useful for very long or two-sided receipts. Simply take as many photos of the document as you need, and combine them easily within the Capture app.

A star is born

You can now ‘Star’ documents that require special attention, or that you intend to revisit later. Once you’ve starred a document in Apron, you can find it again by selecting Filter by ‘Starred’ from your Inbox.

Didn’t catch what we released in July? Don’t miss out on No-VAT settings and Offline mode for Android. Read that update here.

Why leave it there?
