This release includes several major updates to Rack Manage, including new features and extensive improvements to the rack editor engine in preparation for the upcoming Inventory Management feature.

Across the platform, we’ve focused on speed, reliability, and overall usability.

New Features

Half-Width Slots

One of our most requested features has arrived!

You can now add half-width slots to your racks for smaller rack-mounted equipment.

• Half-width slots resize to 9.5” when enabled

• Drag and drop them between the left and right side of a slot

• Store all the same data as full-width slots

• Reorder using the same drag-and-drop interactions you’re used to

Half-width support brings new flexibility and more accurate rack layouts.

Redesigned Details Panels and Forms for Racks and Rooms

The editor and viewer side panels for racks and rooms have been fully redesigned to improve readability, organization, and workflow efficiency.

Across all detail views, information is now grouped into clear, modern cards with improved typography and iconography, making it much easier to scan important details at a glance.

Slot Filtering

Finding the right slot type is now easier than ever.

In the slot type menu, click Filter to narrow your search by:

• Category

• Manufacturer

• Size

• Width

Slot Text Style

Make your rack labels clearer and more organized with customizable text styling.

When slot names are enabled, right-click a slot to adjust:

• Font size

• Font weight

• Text color (choose from preset colors or a custom color picker)

Selecting the color wheel/gradient button opens a full color picker, where you can choose from a color spectrum or type a HEX code for precise color selection.

Using Copy Style and Paste Style, you can quickly apply your preferred text styling across multiple slots.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate Rack Manage faster with new global and editor-specific shortcuts.

Global

• Ctrl + K / ⌘ + K: Open Quick Search from anywhere

While in a rack or room

• E / V: Switch between Editor and Viewer modes

• 1 - 5: Switch between tabs

• Arrow keys: Move selection between slots

• Escape: Deselect the current object

Inside the rack and room editors

• Ctrl + C / ⌘ + C: Copy a slot or object

• Ctrl + V / ⌘ + V: Paste a slot or object

• Backspace: Delete the selected slot or object

Keyboard navigation makes working inside complex racks and rooms significantly smoother.

Quick Search

Quickly find anything, including racks, rooms, pages, and actions, from any page.

Press Ctrl + K / ⌘ + K to:

• Search and navigate to racks or rooms

• Jump to dashboard, settings, and more

• Trigger instant actions (toggle dark mode, switch mode, etc.)

Use your arrow keys, escape, and enter to quickly navigate and select search results.

Quick Search is built to reduce friction and help you move around Rack Manage without breaking focus.

Duplicate Racks & Rooms

Quickly create a copy of any rack or room.

From the dashboard, click the ellipses menu next to an item to duplicate it.

• Duplicating a rack copies all slots, rack data, and ordering.

• Duplicating a room copies all racks and objects inside the room.

This makes it easy to create templates, experiment with new configurations, or quickly spin up similar environments.

Improvements

Last Updated Timestamp

The rack and room viewers now display the last updated date and time at the bottom of the details panel.

Updated Verification Emails

Verification emails now include a plain-text URL in addition to the action button. This ensures reliable account verification even in strict email clients.

Page Titles

Your browser tab now displays the name of the page, rack, or room you're viewing. This makes multitasking with multiple tabs far easier.

Improved Image Loading

Slot Types now use an updated caching solution to reduce load times, especially for racks containing multiple instances of the same slot type.

Infrastructure Upgrades

All core services powering Rack Manage are now running in multiple regions to improve the reliability and performance of the application.

Billing Updates

New subscriptions purchased on or after August 23, 2025 will be managed by Link.com.

You may notice a change in your invoices, receipts, and statement descriptors. Rather than being billed directly from Rack Manage, your receipts and invoices will now be issued by our partners at LemonSqueezy LLC, and statement descriptors will now display LINK​.​COM* RACK MANAGE rather than RACK MANAGE*.

With this change you can now subscribe to Rack Manage using a Link.com account and can continue to manage your subscription from rackmanage.io, or at Link.com.

There are no changes in pricing or impact to users with subscriptions created before August 23, 2025.

Please visit Link.com support for more information or for support with payment methods or refunds.

Inventory Management (Beta)

Inventory Management is now in open beta for users on paid plans.

With Inventory Management you can view all slots from all of your racks in one place, search and filter slots, export your entire inventory to JSON or CSV, and open a rack viewer or editor automatically selecting your slot.

In future versions of Inventory Management, you will be able to add additional details to inventory objects and sync the details across all racks with the same object, add existing inventory objects to racks, and create inventory objects without being assigned to a rack.

To enable Inventory Management, head to your account settings and turn on “Inventory Management” under “Early Access Features”, then refresh the page for the changes to apply.

If you are unable to see the “Early Access Features” section, ensure that you are on a paid plan and have all cookies enabled.

API Updates

The Rack Manage API (https://api.rackmanage.io/v1) has been rewritten from the ground up, significantly increasing performance.

While the API has changed on the backend, this change should be invisible to users and follows the same OpenAPI spec as before https://api.rackmanage.io/v1/spec. The new API also has an interactive interface available at https://api.rackmanage.io/v1/ui. The previous SwaggerHub interface will be retired and users are encouraged to use the the new UI interface instead.
