Release Notes

Tuition now has its own place in the menu.

Setting up a tuition plan used to be several clicks inside Payments. Tuition is
now its own item in the sidebar. You can copy a payment link for any family who
owes, or email it to them, and recording a cash or check payment still works
whether or not you take card payments.

Start a form from a template instead of a blank page.

Nine ready made forms are now waiting for you: enrollment application, waitlist,
registration deposit, tuition plan, spirit wear order, pizza day order, field
trip permission, photo release, and emergency contact and medical release. Pick
one and it arrives fully built, including the price and quantity for the ones
that collect money. Change anything you like before you publish it.

Our pricing page now works the way our home page already does.

Tell us how many students you have and see the one flat yearly price for
your school, with the full list of plan sizes below it for reference. We
removed the side-by-side plan cards and the feature comparison table, since
every NavEd plan already includes every feature.

Confirmation pop-ups on payments and clubs now open properly.

Clicking Issue Refund turned the screen black instead of asking you to
confirm, so the refund could not be completed. These pop-ups now open
centred on the page. No payment or refund was ever affected.

The refund confirmation box on the payment page now appears.

Clicking Issue Refund on a payment showed a dark screen with nothing on it,
so the refund could not be confirmed. The confirmation box now opens the way
it already did everywhere else. No payment or refund was affected.

Clearer wording on our home page.

We reworded the line that describes what NavEd covers, and changed one
heading so it says what you get back rather than what you lose.

The pricing section on our home page is easier to read.

Instead of six plan cards competing for attention, you tell us roughly how
many students you have and we show you the one price that applies. The free
tier now sits at the top on its own, where it is easy to find.

You can add a question to a form you have already shared.

Once a form was published, every option for adding a new question was greyed out,
so the only way to ask one more thing was to build the form again and send a new
link to every family. You can add questions now, and reword or reorder the ones
already there, on a form that is live and even on one families have already filled
in. Answers already given are kept exactly as they were, and a question that has
been answered still cannot be deleted or changed to a different kind of question,
because that would rewrite what a family told you. You can also fix a price on a
live form right up until the first family pays. Once anyone has paid, the prices
and fee settings stay locked.

You can now download every elective class list at once, sorted by grade and homeroom.

The download gives you one line per student per elective, with their grade
level, homeroom, the teacher, the room, and the day and block the class
meets. It comes out already grouped by grade level and then by homeroom,
so the list you hand a teacher is in the order your school is organized.

Every actively enrolled student's row is in the file now, no matter how
many pages the table used to have. The older download on that page only
picked up the students showing on screen, so a school with more
enrollments than fit on one page got a short file with no warning. A
student whose account has since been deactivated is not included, the
same as the per-elective roster page.

You can also set a room for an elective when you add or edit it, so the
room shows up on the download instead of staying blank.

You can add a student's date of birth right when you add them.

The Add Student form now has a Date of Birth field, so you don't have to save a
student and then go back in to fill it in. It's optional, and a student added
without one is fully enrolled. Turn on a Date of Birth column on the Students
page with the Columns button, and it comes through when you export or print
the roster.

Service hours now have a home of their own in the app.

Community service hours used to live only on each student's own profile,
with no way to see the whole school at a glance. There's now a Service
Hours page under Academic in the menu (HODs and staff) that lists every
student with their hours logged for the current school year, searchable
by name and filterable by grade. Click through to a student to see, print,
or export their full record, same as before.

Plan buttons on your billing page and student-limit prompts now only ever
show plans you can actually buy.

Yearly plan options on your school's billing page, and the prompt you see
when you reach your student limit, now always match a real, working price
-- no more buttons that led nowhere. Printing your student roster also now
covers every student on the page, not just part of it.

Your payout breakdowns show who paid and what they bought again.

On some recent payouts the deposit amount was right but the family names and the
items they paid for were blank, so there was no way to tell your team who a
deposit belonged to. For payments made through NavEd, those details are back,
including on deposits you already received. A deposit that mixes different
things, say a lunch order and a club fee in the same week, is still broken out
line by line under each item, and the CSV export carries the same detail. If a
payment was taken directly in Stripe rather than through NavEd, the page still
says so instead of guessing, and if we still cannot connect a payment to a
family, the page says that plainly instead of hiding it. None of your amounts
or totals changed.

Buying a yearly plan from the pricing page now actually works, and student
lists load faster for larger schools.

The yearly plan cards on our public pricing page used to send you back to
the signup form instead of starting checkout. If you're signed in and
viewing the pricing page from your own school, clicking a yearly plan now
takes you straight to payment.

We also sped up the student list for schools with a lot of students -- it
now loads a page at a time instead of trying to show everyone at once,
while searching, printing, and exporting still work across your whole list.

NavEd Lessons now shows up as something you can unlock.

If your plan does not yet include NavEd Lessons, it now appears under
"Unlock more" in your sidebar instead of being invisible. Nothing changes
for your students or your data until you choose to turn it on.

You can now put a lesson unit away without losing it, and remove a file you
attached by mistake.

In NavEd Lessons, archiving a unit puts it away everywhere -- your own list,
your students' lessons, and anyone reviewing their work -- without deleting
anything. Every section, step, and past student submission stays exactly as
it was, and you can bring the unit back any time. You can also remove a
file, link, or video you attached to a lesson step, without rebuilding the
whole step.

If you run the school and also have a child in it, you can fill out forms again.

An account with admin access was only ever shown the form management screen, which
had no way to answer a form. A form addressed to you now shows a Fill Out button
right on that screen, next to the form it belongs to. Parents whose account was set
up under a different role can open those forms now too.

All of your students now show up when you enroll them in classes.

If one of your students was missing from the Enroll by Student page, they are back.
Their records were always safe. They just were not being drawn on that one screen.

A yes or no question now shows one Yes and one No.

A question answered with Yes or No was drawing each answer twice on the form, so
families saw the choices repeated. It now shows one of each, everywhere a form
appears.

The roster download can include your yes or no answers.

If your form asks something like whether a family can help on the day, that
answer now comes through as its own column on the roster download, on each of
that family's children. Switch it off in Roster Columns if you do not want it. A
question a family did not answer is left blank rather than counted as a no.
Answers recorded before mid-August could not tell those two apart, so a form that
old may show a no where nobody answered.

A weight you set on a points-based subject now says it is not used.

If a subject is graded on total points, the points possible already decide how much each
assignment counts, so the Weight box is not read. It now says so instead of quietly
accepting a number and ignoring it. Switch the subject to percentages and the box works
again.

When a form will not publish, it now tells you why and how to fix it.

A form that asks families to pick their children can only go to parents. That refusal used
to be a message that vanished after three seconds and pointed at nothing. It now stays on
screen, marks the question causing it, and offers to change the audience or remove the
question for you.

Assignment weights now affect grade averages.

Giving one assignment more weight than another, say, making a unit test count more than
a short quiz, now actually changes the grade average the way the weight field says it
will. If every assignment already had the same weight, nothing changes for you.

Long transcripts now flow onto a second page instead of overlapping.

The free transcript builder could crowd the administrator signature and certification
text on top of other content when a student had a lot of courses. Transcripts that don't
fit on one page now flow cleanly onto a second page instead.
