**Level Book Closure Fix** — the closure check and running misclose pill now correctly reflect whether the traverse is in progress or at rest. After recording a Foresight the closure block appears as normal; taking a new Backsight to continue the traverse immediately hides the closure block and misclose pill until the next Foresight is recorded. Previously the closure numbers remained on screen and updated with every new reading, which was misleading mid-traverse. **Chainage Column** — a Chainage field has been added to every reading in the Level Book. Enter any label (e.g. CH100, 50.000, or a custom string) while booking a reading, edit it afterwards, and it appears in both the CSV and PDF exports as a dedicated column between Station and BS. **Depth-to-Invert Calculator Strip** — the Engineering Calculator now includes a Depth / RL Check strip below the grade tool. Enter a Height of Collimation and use the display value as either a staff reading (to get the resulting RL) or a target RL (to get the required staff reading). Both interpretations give the same arithmetic result — HC minus the display value — so a single answer covers both use cases. **Manhole Quick-Name Button** — a new MH button sits alongside the point-name field in the Level Book reading card. Tap it to open the Manhole Survey sheet, choose a survey type (Cover + Invert, Cover only, or Invert only), and type a manhole code once. The app automatically appends CL or IL to the point name and queues the paired reading so the next entry is pre-filled without any typing. A Series mode keeps the naming advancing through consecutive manholes (MH1, MH2, MH3 …) until you tap the × to stop. An amber badge below the point-name field shows the queued next name at all times. **Auto Depth-to-Invert Note** — when an IL reading is recorded for a manhole that already has a CL entry with a known RL, the app automatically calculates the depth to invert and appends it to the IL entry's notes (e.g. "Depth: 1.234 m"). This appears in the CSV and PDF Remarks column with no extra input from the surveyor. **Chainage Increment Buttons** — the Chainage field in the Level Book now has two quick-entry buttons. The Last button (amber) re-fills the previous chainage in one tap. The +N button (blue) applies a configurable increment to the last chainage and writes the result into the field automatically — tap to apply, hold to change the increment size. Common increments (1 m through 1000 m) are available as presets, with a custom entry field for any value. **Change-Point Backsight Suggestion** — after recording a Foresight, the reading card automatically shows a green suggestion chip: "Use 'CP1' as change-point name". Tapping it pre-fills the point name and chainage from the previous Foresight so the Backsight on the new instrument setup is named consistently with the change point in the record. The chip disappears the moment you start typing your own name. **Laser Level Mode** — enable ◎ Laser Level Mode when creating a new job file to work with a rotating laser level instead of an optical level. Enter your BM RL and the detector reading on the benchmark to set the Height of Collimation — no backsight needed. From there, just enter detector readings at each point to record RLs instantly. Set-Out and Drainage tabs update their required readings live as you type. Re-establish the HC at any time if you move the laser or change height. The level book hides the BS/IS/FS columns and shows a clean reading-only layout when Laser Level Mode is active. **Import from Level Book** — on the As-Built tab, tap "From Level Book in This Job" to bring in surveyed levels from any level book in the same job. A preview sheet lists each level book alongside its recorded IS and FS points and their RLs — tap a file to expand the preview, then tap Import to load those levels straight into your as-built point list as design RLs, ready for comparison against as-built staff readings.
