Margin Master 2026.902.22878

Resolved a bug where configuring a mapped drive root (like M:\) as the export folder would incorrectly revert to C:\MarginMaster. BisTrack sites that export New Retails to a mapped network drive can now use drive roots as valid export paths.

Fixed a critical bug where slow SQL servers could cause Paladin multi-store imports to silently wipe a store's entire inventory when a database timeout occurred. The import now uses adaptive timeout settings and validates data before replacing store records.

Added an interactive training guide that teaches users how Margin Master's automatic update system works, what the Update Available badge means, and how to manually check for and install updates from the Help menu.

Refined the wording in Guide 1010 (updating Margin Master) to clarify that What's New behavior depends on user settings and can always be accessed from the Help menu.

Added seven new interactive training guides covering common support scenarios including moving to a new computer (backup, install, restore), executing and finalizing price changes, and clearing stale data with reset options.

Added ten interactive training guides to the What's New dialog, covering topics from Ace zone pricing and Epicor connection setup to strategy troubleshooting and price change count reconciliation. These guides address the most common support questions and walk users through setup, configuration, and problem-solving workflows.

Training / Guide Mode is now available to all users (previously limited to support machines). This release adds 11 new lessons covering daily workflows, POS integrations, troubleshooting, and vendor-specific tasks, bringing the training library to 64 complete lessons.

Updated the "Execute Price Changes" tutorial (Guide 2002) to remove the optional cleanup step that demonstrated removing price decreases and unchanged prices, simplifying the lesson workflow.

Added 10 new interactive training lessons and guides addressing common support scenarios including strategy management, server connections, fresh installations, frozen programs, Epicor store exclusion, and Ace Hardware updates. Each lesson includes step-by-step audio narration and interactive UI targeting.
