What’s new in the Toolbox.

Major changes worth knowing about — what shipped, what changed, and why it’s better. Newest first.

Credit CardMost recent

Receipts just got smarter — and a lot less repetitive.

Two changes land on the Credit Card tool today: small purchases skip the receipt rule entirely, and transactions that share one physical receipt can now share one classification too.

Receipts used to be the universal blocker — every transaction needed one, or a typed-out “no receipt” reason, or both. Two situations broke that rule the most often: tiny charges with no real audit value, and split-into-pieces purchases where the same paper receipt already covered two or three card rows. Both are fixed.

Small purchases ($30 or less) skip the receipt rule

Any transaction whose total is $30 or less no longer requires a receipt or a “Reason for No Receipt” note. The field disappears entirely on small charges — you can still attach a receipt if you want one on file, but nothing’s required to save and submit.

The threshold is based on the original transaction total, not the per-line amount, so a split that sums to $25 also clears it. Approvers see the same rule — small purchases without a receipt shouldn’t be bounced back.

One receipt for many transactions: Combine

Gas station pre-auth plus the real charge. Hotel deposit plus the final folio. Restaurant bill plus the tip adjustment. Amazon orders that ship in two pieces. These all post as multiple card transactions but share a single receipt. Now there’s a Combine button right next to Split.

You classify and attach the receipt once; every combined transaction inherits the same property, GL account, vendor, description, and receipts. Submit, approve, return — they all act on the whole group together.

How to combine, step by step

  1. Classify the largest of the related transactions first. Pick the property, GL account, vendor, description, and attach the physical receipt the same way you always have.
  2. Click Save & Next so the classification is committed. Combine applies the saved lines — if you have unsaved edits open, the modal will ask you to save first.
  3. Re-open the transaction and click Combine with other transactions at the top of the classification area.
  4. Tick the related transactions in the picker. Only same-statement, same-card, same-cardholder rows show up. Already-classified rows have a yellow “Will be overwritten” badge so you know you’re replacing their existing coding with the group’s.
  5. Click Combine. The classification and the receipt automatically flow onto every selected transaction.

After combining, every member transaction shows a green pill on the classify page indicating the group it belongs to. The button itself flips to Uncombine so you can dissolve the group if you change your mind.

Worked example — gas station fill-up

You fill up at Speedway on a Tuesday. The pump pre-authorizes $1.00, then settles to $43.17 the next day. Two card transactions arrive in your queue: a $1.00 pre-auth and a $43.17 final.

  1. Classify the $43.17 transaction first (Speedway, Fuel & Auto GL, the property you were driving for, snap the photo of the pump receipt). Save & Next.
  2. Re-open it. Click Combine with other transactions.
  3. The $1.00 pre-auth appears in the picker. Tick it. Click Combine.
  4. Done. Both transactions now share your Speedway receipt and your fuel classification. Submit sends them both up for approval; one Approve from your manager covers both.

Worked example — hotel stay

A two-night hotel stay with a $200 deposit charged on April 28 and a $487.30 final folio on May 2. Both rows on the same statement. The $200 deposit by itself isn’t a meaningful business expense — it’s part of the lodging total.

  1. Classify the $487.30 final folio with the full hotel context — property, GL account, attendees if it’s a meal-eligible trip, and attach the folio PDF.
  2. Combine the $200 deposit into it. Both rows now share the folio.

Combining across statements isn’t supported. A combined group has to live inside a single statement period — if the deposit and final fall on either side of a statement close, classify the deposit on its own statement and the folio on the next.

Undoing a combine

Click Uncombine on any member transaction to dissolve the group. Every member keeps the classification it currently has — nothing is reset — but the rows go back to being independent.

Returning a combined transaction from the accounting page also dissolves the group automatically so you can re-classify pieces separately.

What approvers see

Combined transactions appear with the same green “Combined N/M” badge on the Approvals queue and the Accounting export. One Approve covers every member of the group; one Reject or Return sends every member back at once and dissolves the group, so each row can be re-classified on its own afterwards. Verify the shared receipt covers the full combined total before approving — that’s the only added review step.

Split and Combine are mutually exclusive

A transaction can be a Split (one charge → many GL lines) or a member of a Combine (many charges → one classification), but not both. The button for the opposite operation is disabled with a tooltip explaining why. If you need to switch a transaction from one mode to the other, dissolve the current state first.

Same accounting integrity, less busywork.

Each transaction still posts its own GL entry — the bank reconciles transaction by transaction, and that doesn’t change. What does change is how often you re-upload the same file or re-type the same classification.

Daily Digest

Your morning email now feels like your dashboard.

The daily digest got the same workover the dashboard did. Same urgency cues, same plain-English summary, same idea that the most important thing should sit at the top — and it stays quiet on the days you don’t need it.

The digest used to read like a system report. Sections for every tool, urgency rated as “urgent / warning / other,” and an email every weekday no matter what. The redesigned version opens like the dashboard does: one count, one short sentence, one list ordered by how pressing each item is. Everything you already learned by working with the action center carries over.

One list, sorted the way you read

The old per-tool sections are gone. Now every task sits in a single list with red, amber, and grey dots — the same urgency dots you see on the dashboard. A red dot means overdue, amber means due soon, grey is normal. Each row tells you the tool, the task, and how long it’s been waiting (“6 days,” “today”), and clicks straight into the next item to act on.

Caught up? No email.

If there’s nothing waiting on you, the digest doesn’t send. Quiet inboxes on quiet days. Items where you’re only waiting on someone else don’t trigger a send either — the email is for work you can actually clear.

See your week add up

A small green tally near the top totals what you’ve actioned in the last 7 days across every tool — approvals, classifications, to-dos, courses. Same tally that lives on your dashboard, now part of the morning ritual.

A separate section for what's waiting on others

Items you submitted that are now sitting in someone else’s queue moved out of your main list and into their own “Waiting on others” section near the bottom. You can still see them when you want to nudge — they just don’t inflate the headline count anymore.

Same controls. Less noise.

Snoozes you set on the dashboard carry through to the email — if you snoozed a row, it doesn’t show up in tomorrow’s digest either. You can still mute a whole tool from the System Notifications page if you want, but the digest will keep surfacing tasks from muted tools so nothing important gets buried.

Toolbox

A cleaner dashboard, your way.

Sign in and the front door feels different. The Toolbox dashboard got a top-to-bottom refresh designed around how you actually work day-to-day — and the status line that surfaces your work just grew real working controls.

The old dashboard was a wall of tool icons. The new one is a workspace. You decide which tools sit at the top, you get a single glance at what’s waiting across all your tools, and the AI partners that live inside each tool finally have a face on the home screen.

Drag to reorder

Drop your most-used tool at the top. Long-press to drag on mobile. Your order is saved across every device you sign in on.

AI partner badges

Each tool card now shows the AI partner that lives inside — Cora on the expense tools, Remi for pricing, Matty for debt, Lexi for contracts, Penn for investor letters.

What’s waiting, at a glance — and which item to grab first

A status line at the top of the dashboard summarises tasks across your tools. Quiet when you’re caught up — and when you’re not, it ranks the work so the most pressing items are at the top.

  • Urgency dots. Red means overdue — e.g. a credit-card transaction un-classified for more than 3 days, an approval sitting more than 2 days, or a debt note within 60 days of maturity. Amber means due soon. Grey means a normal item in your queue.
  • How old it is. Each row carries a short age suffix (“5 days”) so you can see what’s been waiting on you longest.
  • Click straight into it. Rows deep-link to the specific item to act on, not a list page — so “Classify next” really does take you to the next transaction.
  • A red tint when you’re behind. The status line border goes red and shows a small “N overdue” tag the moment anything crosses its threshold — easy to see from across the screen.

Overdue thresholds are per tool: 3 days to classify a credit-card transaction, 2 days to approve one. Lowe’s mirrors those. Investor letters: 3 days in review. L10 to-dos: more than a week past the meeting they were added in. Remi rent recommendations: 14 days since they landed. Debt maturity alerts: within 60 days = overdue, within 90 = due soon. Required training is always overdue until completed.

Snooze rows you can’t deal with today

Each row gets a small snooze button. Pick “Tomorrow,” “Next Monday,” or “In 1 week” and the row drops out of your status line and per-card count until then. Useful when an approval is genuinely blocked on something or you’ve already pinged the right person — quieter signal, less noise.

Snoozes are per user. Yours don’t change what your manager or teammate sees. Maximum 30 days per snooze; after that the row comes back so nothing falls off the radar forever.

Waiting on you vs. waiting on others

The expanded status line now has a separate “Waiting on others” section for items you submitted that are sitting in someone else’s queue. You can’t clear them, but you can see them — handy when you want to nudge the right approver instead of guessing whether your submission landed.

The header count and per-card amber pip only include items you can actually act on. “X tasks waiting” means what it says — the “others” bucket is below the fold.

Cleared this week

A small green “N cleared this week” tag appears next to the summary count, totaling items you actioned in the last 7 days across every tool. Approvals you signed off, transactions you classified, to-dos you closed, courses you finished — they all contribute.

Counts your work across CC, Lowe’s, Travel, Investor Letters, Training, and Scorecards. Debt and Remi don’t contribute (no user-action timestamps to count) but the status line still stays honest about everything else.

Quick Actions

Common cross-tool shortcuts live above the grid — upload a receipt, log a trip, ask Cora. The row is tailored to your tools, so you see the actions that fit how you work.

One badge to spot what changed

Tools that ship a notable release pick up a violet “Updated” badge on the dashboard, so you can see what’s new at a glance — no need to read release notes to know a tool you use just got better.

Credit Card

Stop chasing receipts. Snap and stash.

The Credit Card tool now has an optional Receipt Library. Capture a receipt the moment you swipe — pull it out of the library when the transaction lands in classify.

No more hunting through email when statements close. Open the tool on your phone at the register, tap Take photo, snap the receipt — done. By the time the transaction arrives a few days later, the file is already waiting in your library with the vendor, amount, date, and property pre-filled by AI.

Capture at the register

One-tap camera button on mobile. Drag-and-drop on desktop. JPG, PNG, HEIC, or PDF, up to 10 MB per file.

AI fills in the details

Vendor, amount, date, and matching property extracted automatically. Override anything — your edits always win.

Pick from your library at classify time

When the transaction lands, hit Pick from your receipt library. Select the receipt — the metadata auto-fills your classify fields. Save & Next moves the file out of the library and onto the transaction.

Use it. Skip it. Either way works.

The Receipt Library is opt-in. If your existing workflow for saving receipts works for you, keep doing that — direct upload during classify is unchanged. Read the full guide for the complete tour.
