This release brings exciting upgrades across multiple modules — smarter parent setup, streamlined financial processes, elegant UI refinements, and crucial bug fixes. Let’s dive in!

🧭 Navigation & Access Enhancements

  • Login Flow Revamp:

    On login, users can now view all associated profiles (based on email/phone) upfront, simplifying access across roles and schools.

  • New 'Switch Profile' UI:

    • We have introduced a new ‘Switch Profile’ option under the top-right user menu for users to switch between multiple centers, parent vs teacher profiles. The former ‘Parent Mode’ toggle is also replaced by this unified switcher.


Smarter Student & Parent Setup 🆕

  • Multi-School Access for Parents

    Parents can now join multiple preschools with the same email or phone number — perfect for families with children in different centers.

Experience Upgrades

  • Web-specific Adjustments:

    • The ‘Add Sibling’ option is now only available on the web platform.
