👋 Goodbye dropdown lists, hello smart searching

Let's show you what's new around here.

**First**, the Product Type dropdown list:

The list now features product images, to help you find your desired products easier.

**Next up**: Material / Colour drop down lists have changed to search fields, to help you find your required material faster.

Simply hit the **[[X]]** button to clear the search, or highlight the placeholder text and [[delete]] or start typing.

You can search for:

- Material Type

- Colour Name

- Finish Name

- Thickness

Or a combination of 1 or more of these fields at once. 

Here we've typed [[Natural Oak]] and hit [[ENTER]]. You can see that the search result is currently returning all materials containing those words (in both the colour name & finish)

The search will also work on partial results so 'Bavar' will find the Colour Name "Bavarian Oak"

Let's make it more specific: type the name of the finish [[Ravine]] to refine results.

To select the option you want to use, click the item in the dropdown list.

**Next up:** door lists have also changed to a search field\
 (we've also included a little preview of the door type as well)

We've also changed how the "**Add Product**" button logic works.

*(Previously it used to copy your last item you were working on)*

Now, the product settings (type, materials & specifications) of the last product you added will be brought across to the new item, but Height/Width will be cleared

Allowing you to simply key in your sizes on the new product

**Pro Tip:** Use the [[TAB]] key to quickly jump between input fields

Enter the sizes you require for the new product

The "**Copy**" button now includes a new feature which allows you to set how many copies of the product that you'd like to have.

You will then get a pop up asking how many copies you'd like. You can click the [[(+)]] and [[( - )]] buttons to adjust your quantities, or type into the field.

This guide explains the new features of the Doors & Panels screen -  a more efficient experience with smart searching and improved functionality. This guide includes step-by-step instructions on how to use the new features, such as searching for specific materials, colours, and door designs. It also highlights changes to the functionality of the "Add Product" and "Copy" buttons, as well as how to switch back to the old view if needed.
