Do you have phases with unbilled time that you can't invoice for?
You can now write off billable time to ensure that your unbilled totals in Monograph accurately reflect the true value of what will be invoiced to your clients.
What's new
  • Unbilled now consolidates unbilled time value into a single field that represents all time logged for your project phases, hover over this value to see how this unified unbuilled value is calculated from
  • This unbilled time value is edited by writing off time across all team member's roles or apply to specific roles.
  • The new Unbilled and Write offs values are viewable on the Unbilled report, Project Financials, and Invoice builder
See here or watch the video below to learn more about how this tool works!
Please note that this tool writes off time for invoicing purposes only. It does not change the underlying billable status of timesheet entries' activities on other reports.
No more mystery math!
Now, when someone updates a phase budget, you’ll get a quick heads-up right in Monograph — and by email if you’ve got notifications turned on.
What you’ll see:
  • Which project + phase changed
  • Who made the update
  • What the old and new budgets are
Why it matters
:
Everyone stays in the loop when project budgets change. No surprises, no hunting for who updated what — just clear, automatic updates.
We’re excited to introduce a better way to organize and access all your project files in Monograph—without the usual frustration of hunting through multiple places.
Why this matters
Files have historically lived in different corners of Monograph. Now, you can see your project files in one convenient location—intelligent, organized, and ready when you are.
What’s new
  • All your files in one place
    : Includes uploaded project files and attachments to project notes (like transcripts).
  • Upload any file type
    : PDF-only is a thing of the past; any format up to 50 MB works.
  • Smart search & summaries
    : Each file has a short summary, and searching scans inside it, as well as titles, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for. 🔍
  • Filter and view your way
    : Sort by date, type, or more, with grid and list view options.
  • Easier navigation
    : “Files” now has its own section under the Home tab, alongside Dashboard and Smart Inbox.
  • Cleaner project pages
    : File uploads have moved out of Project “Details” into their own dedicated “Files” section.
How it works
Upload files at the project level or attach them to project notes. Everything you add is now easy to find, well-organized, and ready when you need it.

You can now fine-tune your project timelines right from the Project Overview Gantt chart.
What’s new:
  • Drag + Resize phases —
    extend
    or
    shorten
    phase durations by pulling the edges of the phase bar.

    automatically

    match
    your zoom level for easier planning.

  • This update is
    only
    available in the Gantt chart on Project Overview, giving you a more visual way to manage timelines.
  • You can adjust phase start and end dates with precision, but not drag a whole phase, ensuring milestones and linked phases stay aligned.
This makes it
easier
than ever to keep schedules
accurate
without jumping between pages. 🎉
When you add a project note—whether it’s an AI-summarized meeting recording or a project status update—you can instantly share it with consultants on your team. That means no more hunting through endless email threads or worrying about missing key details; everything lives in one organized, central location.

As you can see in the image above, the "audience" input gives you complete control over visibility. Keep notes private to your internal team, share selectively with individual consultants, or open them up to everyone involved.
Because notes support comments and attachments, every conversation stays connected to the right project. No scattered inbox threads. No lost files. Just streamlined communication that saves you time and keeps your team aligned.
Firms across the industry are already transforming how they capture meetings and deliver updates with project notes—recording from mobile, posting from desktop, and keeping every stakeholder in sync. If you haven’t tried it yet, this is the perfect time to see how much smoother your projects can run.
We’ve added additional detail to the Project Profit and Firm Profit reports to help you troubleshoot more effectively.
What’s Improved:
Direct and Operating costs are now broken down into three categories on hover:
  • Labor
  • Labor Multiplier
  • Other Expenses
This gives you better visibility into where costs are coming from and makes it easier to spot discrepancies or trends in your projects.
