This article is all about helping you get the most out of PaintScout. Whether you're new or experienced, these tips are designed to make your time with the platform as effective as possible!

  1. One Device at a Time: To prevent any potential overwriting hiccups, it's advised to keep PaintScout active on only one device, browser, or tab. This keeps your work seamless and avoids any unnecessary complications.

  2. Save, Save, Save: PaintScout doesn't have an auto-save feature, so make it a habit to press that save button frequently as you work. This ensures your changes are synced to the system, preventing any loss of progress.

  3. Stay Updated: If you spot a notification next to your person icon, this indicates an available update. Click on your person icon, then select the update available option. This ensures you're always working with the latest version of PaintScout, equipped with the most recent features and enhancements.

  4. The Art and Science of Estimation: Estimation is both an art and a science, and PaintScout reflects this balance. It was designed to operate on a time-based estimate system utilizing production rates.

  5. Account Settings and Changes: Most changes you make to your Account Settings will only affect new estimates. Existing estimates will remain unchanged. This ensures your ongoing projects and past data stay consistent while allowing improvements for future estimates.

By following these tips, you'll get the most out of PaintScout, making your experience with the platform even better -- Happy estimating! ⭐️
