The latest update to the Mergin Maps QGIS plugin introduces a history viewer, allowing you to track project changes directly within QGIS. You can now:

• View and compare changes between specific versions

• See which files have been updated

• Track when changes were made, by whom, and on which device

… and more! Read our blog post to explore the history viewer in detail.

You can now share identified map features (objects) with a simple link! Just open your project’s map, identify the feature(s), and click “Copy link.”

Pro tip: You can also share features by copying and pasting the URL directly.

The admin panel has been redesigned to better align with our design guidelines and provide a clearer overview of your server usage. Key improvements include:

• A refreshed look with improved workspace, project, and user detail views

• A new overview page displaying server usage statistics

• The ability to grant admin panel access to other users directly from the UI

• An option to export usage data for easier reporting

This update is now available for Enterprise users, with the Community edition update coming soon!

In the latest version of our Enterprise edition, you can now customize storage and contributor limits for individual workspaces. Simply head to the admin panel, select a workspace and click the "Update Limits" button to adjust its settings.

Users with the Reader role can no longer make changes to a project in the mobile app. They will not be able to create new features, update existing ones, or delete data. Previously, readers could make edits locally, but the app prevented them from synchronising changes to the server. This update ensures a more consistent read-only experience.

You can now make a field read-only dynamically using QGIS expressions! This feature is available in QGIS 3.30 and newer. To set it up, go to Layer Properties → Attributes Form, select a field, and change the editable flag to an expression that returns true or false. This allows you to control when a field is locked for editing based on your data or conditions.

The latest version of the mobile app now supports field aliases with dynamic expressions! You can set this up in QGIS by going to Layer Properties → Attributes Form, selecting a field and clicking the icon next to the alias input. From the context menu, choose Edit to define your expression. This allows field names to change dynamically based on your data.
