BuildSheet community forum.

First, check your spam and promotions folders, and confirm the email address you signed up with was spelled correctly. If it is still missing, go to the sign-in screen and use Resend Email to send a new confirmation link. Open the link, then return to BuildSheet and sign in. If you signed up with an email that already has an account, sign in or use "Forgot password?" instead.

Open the subscription screen and choose Restore Purchases. This re-links the subscription tied to your App Store or Google Play account. Restores can take a moment to propagate. If Pro still does not appear after restoring, contact support with the store account you purchased on.

The free plan includes one AI receipt scan for the lifetime of the account. Once it is used, upgrade to Pro for unlimited scanning. You can still add expenses manually at any time on any plan.

Check your connection and make sure the app is updated to the latest version. On the free plan there is a limit of 15 progress photos per vehicle, so if you have hit that limit, remove a photo or upgrade to Pro for unlimited photos.

The build total recalculates from your logged expenses. Open the expense list and confirm the item was fully deleted rather than edited to zero. If a labor cost was attached to the part, check that it was removed too. The total updates immediately once the entry is gone.

Some vendor pages block automated previews or hide prices until options are selected. Save the expense anyway, then enter the part name, vendor, price, or image manually. The product URL still stays attached to the mod. See Logging expenses and mods.

Add the labor as its own line on the expense, separate from the part cost. Logging DIY labor is optional; many owners leave it out to keep the total focused on money spent. See the Logging expenses and mods guide.

Multiple vehicles are a Pro feature. The free plan includes one vehicle. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited vehicles, then use the vehicle selector to switch between them, each with its own dashboard and total.

Use Copy Text from the Build Sheet share menu when you want a ready-to-paste vehicle summary. If you want a permanent public page too, publish your build to the community feed and paste that link into the post. See Share cards, copied build text, and PDF build sheets.

PDF build sheet exports are a Pro feature. On Pro, open your vehicle and export the build sheet as a PDF, optionally with custom branding. It is built for resale, insurance, and car shows. See Share cards and PDF export.

Maintenance and expenses are intentionally separate so upkeep does not inflate your build total. If something was logged in the wrong place, delete it from one section and re-add it in the other. See Tracking maintenance.

Go to Settings > Security and choose Download My Data. BuildSheet exports a JSON copy of your account data for your records. If you need something polished for resale or insurance, use the Build Sheet PDF export instead. See Managing your account settings.

Send feature requests and feedback through the support page. Real requests from owners genuinely shape what gets built next, so specifics help: tell us your platform, your goal, and the problem you are trying to solve.

Recent releases have added Copy Text sharing, product-linked mod cards, profile messaging, blocking and reporting tools, home screen widgets, the AI Build Advisor, Build Battles, and a daily value card. Watch the news page for what ships next.

Shop Finder is no longer part of the main BuildSheet owner workflow. The app is focused on build tracking, expenses, receipts, maintenance, planning, sharing, and community features. If you need a shop-related workflow, send the use case through the support page.

Open a builder profile or published build while signed in and choose Message. Messages use the account identity tied to that profile, so a clear username and avatar make conversations easier to recognize. See Using profiles, messages, blocking, and reports.

Blocking hides that user from your feed and conversations. Reporting sends a post, build, or message to BuildSheet for review. Use reports for spam, harassment, impersonation, unsafe content, or other abuse.

Open the community feed in the app to browse published builds, follow owners, and vote in daily Build Battles. Publishing your own build puts it in front of the community too. See Publishing to the community feed.

Complete builds get the most engagement: a full mod list with costs, consistent progress photos, and a clear goal. Keeping your build current gives it the best shot at being featured in a Build Battle.
