New Release FAQs
All customers will be upgraded to the new release by June 2023. Between now and then, you may receive an email notifying you of an earlier upgrade date - do nothing to accept the upgrade date, or submit a support request to postpone your site's upgrade.
Our New Release delivers our community development software suite in a completely revamped format. With an updated layout, condensed menus, additional metrics, and over 150 customer requests, the New Release is a major upgrade to an already robust system.
As always, systemwide enhancements are included in your software subscription. There is no charge to upgrade to the New Release.
