Enhanced Observations Feature | 24 June 2026

Written by Varun

We've made a series of improvements to the Observations & Assessments workflow — helping teachers record observations faster, track milestones with less effort, and spend more time with children and less on admin.

What's New?

📝 Save Observations as Drafts

You can now save an observation as a draft and pick it back up whenever you're ready , no need to finish it in one sitting. Start an observation in the moment, step away, and return to complete it later with everything intact.

🎯 Auto-Filling Milestones

Tracking progress just got faster. Milestones a child has already achieved in previous observations can now be populated automatically with a single click - no more re-entering the same milestones each time. This makes it easier to see how each child is developing and to keep their milestone records consistent and up to date over time.

đŸ‘¶ Automatic Age Band Selection

Based on the child's date of birth and your initial selection, the appropriate age band is now selected automatically - removing a manual step and reducing the chance of error. For flexibility, manual selection and multiple age band options remain available wherever you need them.

Why This Matters

  • ✅ Less repetitive data entry, so teachers spend more time with children

  • ✅ More consistent, accurate milestone and age-band records

  • ✅ Freedom to capture observations in the moment and finish them later

  • ✅ A faster, smoother assessment workflow from start to finish
