Release Notes

Fixed Student Reports not downloading after you click "Generate Report."

When generating end-of-year reports or report cards, the button could finish and show as complete without any file actually downloading — leaving you with no report and no explanation of what went wrong. Reports now download reliably, and if a report can't be generated for a student, you'll see a clear on-screen message instead of a silent finish. One tip: if you generate reports for several students at once, your browser may ask for permission to download multiple files — choose "Allow."

Your payout history now shows on the Payments page.

The "Recent Payouts" section on the Payments page was coming up empty even when payouts had already been sent to your bank. It now correctly lists your recent payouts with amounts, status, and expected arrival dates. Payouts themselves were always going out on schedule — only the on-screen list was affected.

Fixed new school signups occasionally getting stuck mid-setup.

A small number of new schools signing up for NavEd hit a rare issue where account setup would spin for several minutes and then never finish, leaving the school unable to get in. We tracked this down to a slow step during account creation and rerouted it through a faster, more reliable path, so new school setup now finishes in seconds instead of minutes — and can no longer stall out.

The Payments page now shows what each payment was for — including club payments.

The dashboard's collections breakdown and the transactions list now show the club or form each payment was for, so club registrations no longer show up blank or missing. You can see at a glance what every payment was for without opening each one, and filter the list by a specific club or form.

More accurate card processing fees on club and form payments.

When a family pays for a club or form online, the fee breakdown shown at checkout and on the receipt is now correct and always adds up. Each school can choose whether families cover the card processing fee or the school covers it, and your payment records and payouts reflect the right amounts.

Published a private preview page introducing NavEd Lessons for early conversations with prospective schools. It's unlisted, isn't linked from the main site, and has no effect on any existing school's account.

Fixed rare page hangs that could leave a screen spinning for several minutes.

A small number of users occasionally hit a page that would spin for a few minutes before failing, with no clear error — usually unrelated to whatever they were doing at the time. We tracked this down to a connection hiccup between NavEd and its database that, in rare cases, wasn't being noticed quickly enough. NavEd now detects that situation in seconds and recovers automatically instead of leaving the page hanging.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Faster automatic recovery from rare, brief connection hiccups
• Added an automated check that runs on every release to confirm new school signups work end-to-end before it ships

The class-management screen now filters by school year. When you're setting up a new year's classes, you'll only see that year's classes instead of every class from every year at once — so the list stays clean while you build out the new year. You can switch which year you're viewing with the selector at the top of the screen.

The invitation screen now shows a clearer status after a family creates their account. Instead of simply reading "Registration completed," a parent invitation now reminds you that the parent's login is set up and their students still need to be added — so it's obvious when there's a next step.

The parent and student help guides for Clubs have been corrected. Both guides now accurately explain that canceling a club registration requires contacting the school — there is no self-service cancel button in the app. The parent guide also clarifies the difference between registrations made through your parent account and registrations submitted through the school's public signup link.

The HOD transcript guides now accurately describe how transcript controls work — including the grade-level chip picker that lets you choose which years appear on a transcript, and Batch Mode that lets you download transcripts for multiple students as a single ZIP file.

Fixed a server error that could appear on the clubs page when navigating to it with a malformed or unrecognized school-year value in the URL. NavEd now falls back to the current school year gracefully instead of showing an error page.

Strengthened data isolation so club registrations submitted through the in-app flow are always stored under the correct school, preventing any possibility of data crossing between schools.

Fixed an error that prevented parents from updating their child's contact email address. Parents can now submit email change requests without encountering a server error.

Student account pages — grades, subjects, clubs, electives, attendance, and profiles — now handle incomplete account setups without showing an error. If your student account was created but never fully activated, NavEd will redirect you with a clear message instead of displaying a broken page.

Student enrollment applications are now protected against data leaks at the data-storage level. Application records — which include health history, allergies, medications, and emergency contact details — can only be saved to your school's private data area.

The clubs, electives, payments, and applications feature pages now include a short video showing each one in action — so you can see how NavEd handles sign-ups, enrollment, payments, and admissions before you sign up.

The monthly billing estimate on your school dashboard and the cost preview when changing plans now reflect only your active students — matching what you are actually charged. Previously, if any students were marked inactive, the estimate could appear higher than the real charge.

Teachers can no longer access or modify the gradebook for a subject they do not teach. A staff member attempting to open another teacher's gradebook will now receive an access-denied response instead of being allowed in.

Eight more feature pages now show a short video of the feature in action — including students, the student profile, subjects, reports, bulk import, the parent portal, schedules, and attendance — so you can see exactly how NavEd works before you sign up.

Every feature page now has a clear, side-by-side explanation paired with a visual preview — so wherever you land on our site, it's easy to see exactly what each NavEd feature does and how it helps your school.

Even more feature pages now have a clear, side-by-side explanation with a visual preview — including learning standards, the student profile hub, custom forms, the Atlas assistant, custom fields, and bulk operations — making it easier to understand what each one does for your school.

More feature pages now include a clear, side-by-side explanation with a visual preview — covering bulk student import, global search, academic year setup, school announcements, feedback, and student schedules — so it's easier to see what each one does for your school.

Feature pages now show a fuller, easier-to-read explanation of each feature right next to its demo video — so it's clearer what NavEd does and how it helps your school.

Feature pages can now include a short video showing the feature in action, starting with the Gradebook page.

When a parent or student who is already a member of your school visits a public club registration link, they now see a helpful prompt directing them to sign in and register through the school portal instead. This keeps your student records clean and prevents duplicate entries. An "other student" option lets parents still register someone who isn't currently enrolled.

Staff and admins can now link a confirmed guest registration directly to the matching enrolled student with one click. NavEd finds the match by name, links the student to the club, and removes the guest entry automatically — keeping your roster accurate without manual data entry.
