Release Notes

Atlas is learning from your questions—so we can make NavEd even better.

Every time you ask Atlas a question it can't answer, that's a signal to us. Maybe we're missing documentation, or maybe there's a feature that's hard to find. We want to know.

Starting today, Atlas quietly logs the questions you ask (not on demo accounts) so our team can review them and improve the help content. We already discovered that users were asking about changing themes, printing schedules, inviting new users, and filtering reports by quarter—and Atlas couldn't help with any of them. So we wrote new help articles for all five topics.

We also updated our support email across the entire app. If you need to reach us, it's now [email protected].

New Help Articles¶

• How to invite and add users to your school
• Where to find elective overviews
• How to print student schedules
• Filtering reports by quarter (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4)
• How to switch between light and dark mode

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Atlas question logging for product insights (superadmins can view at /superadmin/atlas-logs/)
• Updated support email from [email protected] to [email protected] across all pages and emails

Your school logo is back where it belongs.

Some schools noticed their logo wasn't displaying in the sidebar or on certain pages. Instead of seeing your carefully chosen school branding, you were getting a generic placeholder—not exactly the polished experience you or your families expect.

We traced the issue to a recent platform upgrade and fixed it. Your logo, banner images, and any other uploaded media will now display correctly across all pages. No action needed on your end—everything should just work.

If you're still seeing missing images after today, try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to clear your browser cache.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Fixed school logo and media files not displaying on some pages
• Resolved image loading issue introduced during platform upgrade

Parents: your children's grades are no longer jumbled together.

A parent reached out and told us something we needed to hear: "As a parent with two children, it's really confusing to have all their classes jumbled together." She was right. When you had multiple kids, the sidebar showed one combined grade alert number with no way to tell which child it belonged to. And when she clicked into classes, the "missing assignments" count didn't match what she was seeing.

We fixed both problems. The Grades section in the sidebar now expands to show each of your children by name, with their own individual alert count. Click any child's name and you'll go straight to their grades page — no more hunting.

Once you're on a child's grades page, you'll see a new alert summary at the top that lists every missing assignment and new grade with the class name, assignment name, and which quarter it's from. Each alert is clickable and takes you directly to the right quarter view, so you can find exactly what needs attention.

We also fixed an issue where missing assignments from previous school years were inflating the alert count. If your child had 5 missing alerts but only 1 was from this year, you'd see "5" and wonder where they all were. Now the count only reflects the current school year — because last year's missing homework isn't something you need to worry about today.

Students see the same improvements on their own accounts, with their grade alerts organized and easy to navigate.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Per-student grade alert breakdown in sidebar for parents and students
• Clickable alert summary with assignment names and quarter navigation
• Missing assignment counts now filtered to current school year only
• Grade alerts show actual assignment names instead of generic labels

Fixed a login issue affecting new parent signups.

Some parents who were invited to NavEd but used "Login with Google" directly (instead of clicking their invite link first) were getting stuck in a redirect loop and couldn't access their accounts.

We've fixed this so the signup flow now works seamlessly regardless of how you choose to log in. If you click your invite link first—great. If you go straight to Google login—that works too. Either way, you'll end up in the right place.

If you were affected by this issue and still can't log in, try clearing your browser cookies for nav.education or using an incognito window. If problems persist, reach out to your school administrator.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Fixed OAuth redirect for users with pending invitations
• Improved tenant routing to handle edge cases in signup flow

See what's new in NavEd—right from your dashboard.

We ship updates constantly, but you shouldn't have to guess what changed. Now there's a "What's New" link in your profile menu and in the footer that takes you to our release notes page.

The page shows the last 6 days of updates at a glance, with pagination to browse further back. Whether you're a teacher curious about new gradebook features or a parent wondering about that new email you received—it's all documented here in plain language.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Added "What's New" link to profile dropdown and footer
• Release notes page with clean card layout and pagination

Duplicate applications? Now you can spot them instantly—and clean them up.

If you've ever had a parent accidentally submit the same application twice (or three times), you know how confusing it can get. Which one should you review? Are they all the same?

We've added automatic duplicate detection that flags applications when the same student name and parent email appear multiple times for the same school year. You'll see an amber "Duplicate" badge right on the application, so you know at a glance which ones need attention.

And when you're ready to clean up, administrators can now delete applications—one at a time or in bulk. Don't worry, we've added safety checks so you can't accidentally delete an application that's already been processed.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Duplicate detection by student name + parent email + school year
• Single and bulk delete for administrators
• Confirmation dialogs to prevent accidental deletions
• Safety check blocks deletion of processed applications

Your data is now completely secure—and we fixed a critical privacy bug.

We discovered an issue where users could occasionally see data belonging to other users after certain system operations. This was unacceptable, and we moved heaven and earth to fix it immediately.

Here's what we did: We built an automatic conflict detection system that flags any potential identity issues before they can cause problems. We manually audited and resolved 46 existing conflicts across all schools in our system. And we implemented thread-safe protections to ensure this can never happen again.

Your trust is everything to us. If you have any concerns about data privacy, please reach out—we're here to answer every question.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Added automatic ID conflict detection for proactive monitoring
• Improved system stability with thread-safe schema switching

Admins now see the right applications for the right school year.

When viewing student applications, administrators were sometimes seeing applications from the wrong school year mixed in. We've fixed the filtering logic so you only see applications relevant to your current session.

This was a small but important fix—when you're reviewing applications for next year's enrollment, you need to trust that the list is accurate.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Fixed application year filter for admin views
• Improved how the system handles pending user data during signup

Staying connected to your child's progress just got easier.

We know how hard it can be to stay on top of everything happening at school—especially when you're juggling multiple kids or a busy schedule. That's why we built the Weekly Parent Digest.

Every week, parents now receive a personalized email summarizing their children's grades, attendance, and any updates from teachers. If you have multiple students enrolled, everything is combined into one easy-to-read email—no more logging in to check each child separately.

This is one of the most-requested features from our parent community, and we're excited to finally ship it.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Improved email system to support different user types
