Before using an early access build

Flowfab early access builds are provided for evaluation and workflow testing. Do not rely on an early access build as the only source of truth for production quoting.

All material costs, labour times, quantities, margins, section costs, assembly costs, and exported quote information should be checked manually before sending a quote to a customer.

If you find a problem, contact support@flowfab.app with the Flowfab version, Windows version, and a description of the issue.
