# Selloff 3.0: new navigation, a dashboard per auction and one page per client > Selloff 3.0 introduces a new menu with global search, a dashboard configured per auction and a contact page that gathers every role, document and activity of a client. Here is what changes for each team in an auction house, and why. - URL: https://www.selloff.auction/articles/introducing-selloff-3-0 - Language: English - Published: 2026-09-11 - Type: Announcement - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Français: https://www.selloff.auction/fr/articles/decouvrez-selloff-3-0.md Selloff 3.0 was released on 11 September 2026. It is the first major version since Selloff 2.4, and most of its changes serve one purpose: reaching the right information with fewer clicks, whether you work at the front desk, in the catalogue department or in accounting. This article walks through the release by workflow. The full list of changes is in the [Selloff 3.0 release notes](https://www.selloff.auction/changelog/v3-0.md). ## Finding things: a new menu and global search The menu has been redesigned, and a global search is available from every screen. Press **Cmd+K** on a Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows, type a name, a lot reference, a lot number or an auction, and Selloff lists the matches by type. An exact reference match comes first, so a clerk who types a lot reference goes straight to the lot. Recent searches are kept for quick access. An auction selector keeps the sale you are working on in context in the menu and the breadcrumbs. Sorting and column choices are remembered per page, and drop-down lists can be used from the keyboard. **Why it matters:** during viewing days and sale weeks, staff move between clients, lots and sales all day. Fewer steps to reach a record means fewer interruptions for the person on the phone or at the desk. See [smart search and filters](https://www.selloff.auction/features/smart-search.md). ## Front desk and client relations: one page per client The contact page has been rebuilt so that everything about a client is on one page: details and addresses, email addresses, bank accounts, invoices and accounts, campaigns, opportunities and appraisals. Receipts are split by role, so you can see at a glance what a person has consigned in their own name, as a broker or as a representative. The activity feed has been redesigned. You can create an activity where you are, filter the feed and see what is due. Sections of the page are read-only for users without edit rights, so the whole team can use the page without risk of accidental changes. **Why it matters:** an auction house often deals with the same person as buyer, consignor and appraisal client. Seeing all roles together means an open invoice is not missed when a consignor calls about a settlement. See [client records](https://www.selloff.auction/features/client-records.md) and [users, roles and permissions](https://www.selloff.auction/features/users-permissions.md). ## Sale management: a dashboard per auction The dashboard is now made of widgets and configured per auction. Typical widgets show the bidders still to invoice, the bids waiting for confirmation and the offers to review. Each sale team sees the work that is waiting for it, without opening several lists. See [dashboard and tasks](https://www.selloff.auction/features/dashboard-tasks.md) and [offers and after-sale](https://www.selloff.auction/features/after-sale-offers.md). For timed sales, a new setting adds extra time to a lot only when a bid raises the current price. ## Cataloguing and images - **Protected numbering** — Once a catalogue is active, lot numbers and sessions can no longer be changed from the describe interface, which protects the numbering of a published catalogue. - **Upload progress** — Mass scan uploads show overall progress. - **Scan order** — Scans can be reordered during validation. - **Sort text** — An option shows the sort text in the description panel. See [photo import and image checks](https://www.selloff.auction/features/photo-import.md). ## Accounting and documents - **Background exports** — Large exports of invoices, payments, lots and contact lists now run in the background. You can keep working, and an email tells you when the file is ready. - **Credit notes** — Credit notes can use tokens from the original invoice. - **Table footers** — Table footers in documents can be linked to a column. See [letter and document templates](https://www.selloff.auction/features/letter-templates.md). ## A German interface Selloff’s interface is now available in German, alongside English and French, for teams working in German. ## What comes next Planned and ongoing work is listed on the [roadmap](https://www.selloff.auction/roadmap.md). ## Related features - [Smart search & filters](https://www.selloff.auction/features/smart-search.md): Find any contact, lot or sale in seconds, from a global search box to multi-criteria filters on bids, invoices, estimates and consignments. - [Client records & history](https://www.selloff.auction/features/client-records.md): One record per contact with addresses, ID and bank details, tags, consignments, bids, invoices and a complete activity history shared by the whole team. - [Dashboard & tasks](https://www.selloff.auction/features/dashboard-tasks.md): A home dashboard with your tasks, offers to review and sales to invoice, a dashboard for each sale, and a daily email listing the tasks due. - [Offers & after-sale](https://www.selloff.auction/features/after-sale-offers.md): Collect offers on unsold lots or in offer sales, decide lot by lot with the consignor's figures at hand, and notify bidders by email. - [Sales & auction types](https://www.selloff.auction/features/auction-types.md): Run auctions, offer sales, eBay-style timed sales and fixed-price sales, each with its own sessions, catalogues, dates, fees and bid increments. - [Users, roles & permissions](https://www.selloff.auction/features/users-permissions.md): Give each team member a role that matches their job, from external describer to accountant and administrator, plus read-only roles and API keys. - [Photo import & image checks](https://www.selloff.auction/features/photo-import.md): Upload hundreds of photos at once, matched to lots by file name, with validation, required scan types and a coverage check before the catalogue goes to print. - [Letter & document templates](https://www.selloff.auction/features/letter-templates.md): Adapt the layout and wording of every document Selloff produces, from letters and receipts to invoices, in each language, with placeholders and conditions. - [Interface customisation](https://www.selloff.auction/features/interface-customization.md): Adapt Selloff to your house: description fields, list columns, your branding on documents and emails, and every text your clients read. ## Frequently asked questions ### What are the main changes in Selloff 3.0?
