We want to make sure you’re having a great experience when you use Precision and so we’ve spent time making key performance improvements in the platform. In particular, if you have a large number of client files in Precision you should see some significant speed improvements across the client and flow lists.
We’ve updated the Duplicate contacts feature in Precision for Quickbooks Online users to make it more effective! Because Quickbooks Online treats suppliers and customers as separate contacts, it is common for a contact that is both a supplier and a customer to be two contacts in Quickbooks Online – but this could create a false positive Duplicate Contact in Precision.
To prevent this the Precision Duplicate Contacts feature has been updated for your Quickbooks online clients to show duplicates only when the contact types are matching. This will help to avoid showing false positives where a contact is both a supplier and a customer.
All Enterprise team leads can now get an enterprise view of the Focus Dashboard, so you can see all of the workflows across your teams and clients.

The Precision sidebar has grown since the app was created, and now contains a large list of checks and feature areas, as well as having three versions: the Practice, the Client and the Focus sidebar.
