@RobRo - Just wanted to help clarify here. While it sounds like a fix is in the works soon, we don't have an exact timeframe to share at this point. However, the Product Manager working on this did share that it should be available in our beta version of Square Register very soon. 

"We" are not working on this "together"! Square took one of the most valuable tools (Edit button!) away without so much as a word!! I consistently add new items, need to delete when sold, alter prices as vendors change theirs, etc..... This is completely uncalled for and is a VERY BAD move!! You are not only cutting our sales but yours as well. Big company/Banking types seem to have no qualms about messing with something of value without even letting us know. Put the button back, now.

And now well be guinea pigs for the Beta version. Wonderful.

So those of us without the beta version do what? How hard is it to push something out with the edit button back?

My app freezing and crashing is just getting worse.

@alexandriak - Anyone can use the beta app. It's very easy to install and sign in. I'll share more details once this version is available for download. 

Hey everyone! I wanted to offer an exciting update regarding the barcode functionality. In the latest version of the Square Register app that was released today (Version 4.49), you can now use your barcode scanner within the Items tab to quickly locate an item. I know this was a big pain point and our engineers worked really hard to hustle this into this app release. Please let me know if you have any issues using this new feature after you update. 

On a side note, we're actively working on changes to address everyones feedback around the removal of the "Edit" button. If you're interested in testing that solution out for us, please let me know so I can get you enrolled in our beta. 

Hi @LocavoreStore — Please check out this thread for more details. On a side note, if you update to the newest version of Register, barcode functionality will be restored. 👍

Thank you so much Sean... And all the developers working on this! You guys rock!

I don't have a launch or edit button I ask myself why bother when things keep getting worse and I have android it's no better it's just the system and changes are not working it sounds like square needed to close up shop and go home to many problems and no answers for any one 

This is getting really old... I will not update square again until the EDIT button is returned. It scares me to do anything else. Just about ready to look elsewhere. I liked Square but what we seem to be getting is a runaround. How hard is it to put that button back? We have work to do and this is a real pain! Do your other stuff on the side until you get it worked out, but give us the edit button. I dont care to be a beta guinea pig. PUT THE DANG BUTTON BACK! And please dont require us to go to the site to do our editing! 

@Wagonwheel you do realize that square has millions of customers between Square register and Square cash. They handled 36 Billion dollars in transactions in 2015 in Square register alone.  So I think they obviously are doing something right and don't need to close up shop.  This maybe something that wasn't working right for you but they updated it to restore the barcode functionality in less than 4 weeks.

Hey everyone! We are currently looking for a few more volunteers to help test out our new feature to address the creation of items within a sale. It wouldn't require you to download our beta app, you'll just have to keep quiet about the feature prior to the official launch, as well as forward feedback directly to our product team. Please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in helping with. Also, if you have already expressed interest - you will be getting an email with more instructions later today. 

Hey Sean! Still no "Edit" button! Don't care about the other stuff - just put the edit button back on the category pages! Also having some other problems that I did not have before. Your last update was a total screw-up! Not happy - looking for other options!

@CCC2513 - While I don't believe there are currently any plans to bring back the "Edit" button, did you catch my previous post? We do have a new feature we're testing out now to address this functionality. Would you be interested in being part of the group of sellers giving feedback to our Product Team about it? Also, I'd would love to hear about the other issues you're experiencing. If they're bugs, we can certainly report them to our engineering team. 

Hey Sean. I'd love to try out that beta feature that you mentioned.

@LocavoreStore - Awesome! I'll send your details along to the product manager. She should reach out to you over email within the next couple days with more details.
