Help & Documentation
Training, workflow, FAQs, and troubleshooting — everything you need to use RecipeHub well.
⭐ What's new — 2026-06-09
- Stale-data class is gone. Every page load now force-fetches fresh data from the server. Your edits no longer get overwritten by stale tabs. Cross-tab live sync — when a colleague saves, your tab updates within 2 seconds.
- Pictures Library got 3 new sections (Favorites ⭐ · Safety Icons · All Pictures), all collapsible. Pin any photo as a favorite — pinned photos surface first when you attach a picture to a recipe step.
- Safety Icons now live inside Pictures Library (was a separate sidebar item — gone).
- Audit Log has a new "Online now" panel — green dot = active in last 5 min, yellow = 5-15 min.
- Workflow + Training merged into this Help section. The sidebar link is now 📚 Help & Training.
- Inactivity auto-reload shortened from 6 hours to 30 minutes — keeps everyone on fresh data.
Quick start
- Open recipehub.dailyfoodsa.com and sign in with your Daily Food SA Google account.
- If you don't see your name or avatar in the top-right, you're not signed in — fix this first.
- Use the sidebar on the left to navigate. Items you can't see are hidden because your role doesn't have access — that's normal.
- Stuck? Check the Troubleshooting guide before contacting Caterina.
