This month’s releases focused on improving project planning flexibility, strengthening integration controls, enhancing financial and forecasting accuracy, and increasing visibility across approvals and delivery tracking.
Improved visibility of submitted timesheets awaiting approval
We’ve added clear indicators for submitted timesheets awaiting approval directly on the calendar and date picker in the timesheet approval view.
This helps approvers quickly identify pending submissions, reducing the chance of missed approvals and improving overall timesheet processing efficiency.

Reordering of phases & scoping
You can now manage project phases directly within Scoping, including the ability to add, rename, adjust dates, delete, and reorder them.
This provides greater flexibility and control over the project structure, making it easier to adapt plans as project requirements evolve.

HubSpot Integration Updates: New Bidirectional Sync Options
We’ve upgraded our HubSpot integration with new bidirectional sync controls, allowing teams to choose how Deal Name, Deal Amount, and Deal Start/End Date are synced between Forecast and HubSpot.
This includes the option to opt out of bidirectional syncing so these fields only sync one way from HubSpot to Forecast, or the syncing behavior can be turned off altogether.
New Syncing Fields & Directions:
Settings and their impact when enabled or disabled:
These updates give teams more control over data flow, helping prevent unintended overwrites, improve data accuracy and consistency across systems, align syncing with actual workflows, and increase confidence in forecasting and reporting.

Deliverables
For projects with Baseline enabled, you can define Deliverables, create Baseline estimates, and associate phases with the relevant Deliverable.

HubSpot quote line items from project deliverables
Users with deliverables on projects can now push those deliverables to HubSpot as line items on quotes directly from Forecast.
This removes the need to manually re-enter project deliverables in HubSpot, keeping quotes aligned with project scope and reducing duplication of effort.

Note: Pushing Forecast Deliverables to HubSpot as Quotes requires Deliverables on a project with Baseline enabled and the HubSpot integration enabled.
