Release Notes

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

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

Gradebook just got 10x faster.

If you've been frustrated by how slow gradebook entry could feel, we hear you. Every time you entered a grade, the system was making a separate save operation. For a class of 30 students, that meant 30 individual saves. It added up fast.

We rebuilt the entire save system from the ground up. Now, all your changes save in a single operation—whether you're updating 5 grades or 50. Teachers are reporting that gradebook entry feels instant now, even on slower connections.

We also added smart change tracking, so you'll get a warning if you try to leave the page with unsaved work. No more lost progress.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Added navigation protection to prevent accidental data loss
• Improved change detection with visual indicators

We built a completely free transcript builder for homeschool families.

Creating official-looking transcripts shouldn't require expensive software or graphic design skills. We wanted homeschool parents to have the same professional tools that traditional schools use—without the price tag.

Now you can build beautiful, official transcripts for up to 3 students completely free. The system automatically calculates GPAs, tracks credits, and formats everything according to standard educational requirements. When you're ready, export to PDF and send it to colleges, scholarship programs, or anyone else who needs it.

This is our way of supporting the homeschool community. No credit card required, no strings attached.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Simplified the onboarding process for new homeschool families
