Web Release Notes - November 4, 2026 – DroneSense Support

This web update allows Organization Administrators to add custom Batteries, Sensors, and Docks, adds a new download page for the Android apps, and shows all requests on the LAANC Planning page. Flight exports now include distance columns, the Magic Video Link placeholder text was updated, and two bugs were fixed: the drone icon disappearing after a reconnect and an error when adding a battery.

Distance Columns in Flight Export

The flight export CSV now includes Max Distance to Pilot and Distance Traveled columns. Measurements follow each member's Units of Measurement setting (Imperial or Metric) in their Profile.

Magic Video Link

If no video feeds are available when opening a Magic Video Link, the placeholder text has been changed back to No Active Broadcasts from the previous Waiting for Videos.

Bug Fixes

Operations Hub Map Drone Icon Missing After Reconnect: Fixed an issue where the live drone icon disappeared from the Operations Hub map after a battery swap or reconnect. The icon now reappears automatically, and the auto-join toggle correctly reflects when a mission can't be joined.
Add Battery Error: Fixed an issue where saving a new battery without entering a Number of Discharges returned an error. The field now defaults to 0, so the battery can be saved without entering a value.

Deployment Status

Updates are deployed by region for hosted environments, and the availability status will be shown below.
