What's New in Aphex: August 2025

If you’ve ever had to rebuild the same folder setup, wonder why something’s hidden, or wait around for a PDF, this one’s for you.

Folder duplication now lets you spin up repeat work in seconds, smarter visibility makes it obvious when something’s out of view, background printing keeps your planning uninterrupted, and DroneDeploy imagery brings your plan into real-world context.

Let’s take a closer look 👇🏻

Duplicate Folders

Stop rebuilding folder structures from scratch. Aphex now lets you duplicate folders or entire branches in ways that fit your workflow.

Two options, depending on what you need:

• Duplicates folders and tasks
• Flexibly manages task ownership based on who duplicates
• Perfect for repeat work packages, project templates, or ongoing sequences

• Duplicates just the folder structure, without tasks
• Ideal for a clean setup or rolling out new zones while keeping task assignments flexible

Whether you’re duplicating a single folder or an entire branch, this update makes it easy to replicate complex structures, keep projects consistent, and save time on setup.

Smarter Folder Visibility

Hidden folders, groups, or tasks shouldn’t leave you guessing. Now Aphex shows exactly why something’s out of view — filters, date ranges, grouping, or simply being empty.

• Clear messages in the Gantt when items are hidden
• Quick links to the filters or settings causing it
• Eye icons and counts on parent folders to reveal hidden subfolders

With these improvements, it’s easier to keep your Views tidy, reveal only what you need, and focus more on actual project planning.

DroneDeploy Integration

Bring your site directly into Aphex with new DroneDeploy flyover imagery.

• Compare planned versus actual progress
• Share context instantly with off-site teams
• Align design, planning, and delivery without leaving the platform 

Decisions become faster and more accurate when your site and your schedule live in the same place.

Printing Notifications

Waiting for PDFs to generate is a thing of the past. Printing now runs in the background, so you can keep planning while Aphex prepares your files. 

• Downloads are ready
• Issues need attention
• Slower layers are still processing

That means uninterrupted workflows and confidence that your outputs will be there when you need them.
