# Import From a Folder

You can now import certificates from all export files in a folder.

Shine Forms can also filter the files being used by the last modified date.  This is particularly useful when multiple engineers are sending updates for a job and your are merging those into the main certificate using [Shine Forms' merge feature](http://127.0.0.1:8000/pirform/merging-certificates/)).

Read more in our documentation [here](https://docs.shineforms.co.uk/pirform/certificate-sharing/#importing-from-a-folder).

# Taking Notes at a Board

You can now take notes at a board.  This provides an easy way to record things such as details for later works.

These notes do not appear in the issued certificate, but are available to view in the [Circuits and Test Results](https://docs.shineforms.co.uk/pirform/boards-and-circuits/) and [Board Manager](https://docs.shineforms.co.uk/pirform/board-manager/).  The notes can be exported to Excel so that you can work with them outside of Shine Forms.

# Board Manager Usability Fixes

This release includes a number of fixes and changes that improve the usability of the [Board Manager](https://docs.shineforms.co.uk/pirform/board-manager/).

- The Board Manager now allows copying values to blanks for more columns.
- The Board manager now immediately shows updated circuits when changing ways on an expanded board.
- The Board Manager export icon now shows that you are saving to Excel.
- Boards remain selected after moving in the board list view..
- The board list view was not allowing selection of multiple boards.
- The board tree view was not always updating the hierarchy after changing supplies.
- The board tree view did not correctly print the hierarchy.
- The board list view selection column is now wider.

# Improved Memory Usage

When working with [large certificates](https://youtu.be/G_SsuZdOqaU) and keeping Shine Forms open, the memory usage could increase to unacceptable levels.  This has now been fixed.  (Previously, closing and re-opening would resolve the issue.)

# Other Changes and Fixes

Other changes and fixes available in this release are

- Change: added the option to start forms maximised.
- Change: increased max Zs column width.
- Change: increased certificate form width.

- Fix: observations for excluded boards were still showing in the PDF.
- Fix: some typos in the intelligence.
- Fix: blank BS EN value was being held internally and could cause an incorrect max Zs calculation.
