Messages redesign and enhancements
- New user interface
- Broadcast message: send a message to a group of people separately without opening conversation with all of them.
- Archive conversations to hide old conversations and keep your important conversation. You can see archived conversations by selecting Archived Conversations options on the menu.
- Block responses: conversation admins (if they have sufficient permission) can prevent recipients from writing responses. Schools can use this feature while communicating with parents or students where teachers and educators send messages without the ability for parents to reply publicly.

Other features
- Block report cards status: schools can now block only report card for parents. For the last years, schools asked for this feature to block report cards for parents who didn’t pay their tuition. You can do it now in the users' management page or the user profile. This sub-status can be customized by for each school, i.e., if you want to block more features for parents, you contact our support team, and we will gladly customize it for you.
