Introducing Objects and Order Version 3.0

By Christina Aube, PhD, Co-Founder and COO August 12, 2026 3 min read

This August we launched Objects and Order 3.0. Throughout 2026, we've been expanding features and functionality to make the system even faster and more flexible, and now we're excited to share some highlights with you.

Dashboard

In the updated Dashboard, you'll see your Bases, news and updates, and have quick access to the helpful guides.

A Base is your space for organizing object data, media, and content, and for creating and publishing digital exhibitions. You can start a Base for an entire collection or for one exhibition or project.

From the avatar at upper right, you can visit your Account, Resources, Sign out, or change to light or dark mode.

New Ways to Navigate

We've also introduced two new ways to navigate: the Sidebar Menu, which you can keep open or closed, and the Quick Access Menu, which appears as a drop-down.

Use either menu to easily access Objects, Blueprints, Modules, Exhibitions, Datasets, and Settings. And in v3, you also have central access to all your Files.

Objects

Objects are at the heart of the Objects and Order system. Now you can search, filter, and sort objects faster than ever, with new views to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

Complementing the Grid View (and replacing the former "List View") is the Table View. When you filter by a Blueprint and select Table View, you'll see the information entered in the Blueprint fields. Here we're sorting by Date.

Now you can review an Object in View Mode, and see the information without the form fields. And, if you add a Base Member and assign them the role of Viewer, this is what they'll see when they view an object.

Blueprints

Blueprints are the customizable data schemas for the objects in your Base. Think of them as custom forms with custom data fields for your objects and projects.

Version 3 brings several new Blueprint field types to make object data entry smoother and more intuitive, while always retaining flexibility.

Now you can also select from any of the Existing Fields you've added to other Blueprints.

Modules

One of the most exciting v3 updates is the addition of new Modules. Modules are customizable, embeddable digital features that highlight objects.

We've added 4 Module types, bringing the total to 6: Objects Viewer, Comparison, Datapoints, and Timeline. And you can even add a published Module to an exhibition.

Also new is that published Modules can now be password protected.

Exhibitions

We added two new Blocks to the Exhibition Builder, Timeline and Module.

We also updated the Floating Editor to help you better customize layout and display. Now you can dock it left or right, or position it wherever you like as you build your exhibition.

Adding a Module called Exhibition Highlights to an exhibition.

Files

You'll find a dedicated Files page in Version 3, with all the digital assets in your Base. Keyword search, filter by file type, sort, and locate the file you need with ease.

Files page with 436 files. Those visible show the file size and type.

Settings

In Settings, you'll now be able to grant more granular permissions to your Base Members, who can be designated as an Admin, Editor, or Viewer.

Single Exhibition Base

We also added a new Base Type: the Single Exhibition Base, which lets you publish one exhibition.

It's designed for 1 member, with up to 250 objects. You can publish 1 exhibition and 2 modules.

Single Exhibition Base.

There's so much more to see and explore in v3. Sign up or Sign in, take a look, and let us know what you think.

Reach out if you'd like a short demo of any aspect of the system. We'd love to show you more!
