Highlights

Enhanced session moderation and archiving EVENTS

The site admin sessions moderation section has introduced a new feature to toggle automatic session recording. Sessions are now auto-recorded by default, allowing moderators to automatically and manually turn recording on or off during live sessions. This can be managed from the ellipses menu. These recordings will now be referred to as Archives.

Additionally, a new Archives tab has been added to the session edit page, featuring two sections: Main Room and Breakout Rooms. Both sections function identically.

The Main Room lists archives by date and shows participants, along with a preview and the option to download or delete the archive.

Breakout Rooms list rooms by name, each with a single archive, and include an option to delete the entire room.

During recorded sessions, attendees will see a recording icon at the top left of their screen, and the participant list on the archives page now displays everyone who ever joined the session, not just those present in each recording. v2.0.9 06/21

The platform's emailer has been significantly updated. PLATFORM

The Campaign Builder interface has been updated and linked to the new Automation Tool backend. This ensures that all features, such as scheduling campaigns, dynamically displaying subscription groups, selecting templates based on campaign types, sending test emails, and saving and activating campaigns, work perfectly for all 17 campaign types.

A new feature has also been implemented to copy default unsubscribe groups, templates, and campaigns when a site is created after email setup or manually for legacy platforms on vNext. This ensures that each of the 17 email types has corresponding templates and associated unsubscribe groups configured and set up as inactive campaigns.

Campaign types:

Course Enrollment, Course Waitlist, New Forum Topic, New Forum Post, New Feed Post, Tagged Forum Post, Tagged Feed Post, Comment Forum Post, Comment Feed Post, Reply Your Comment Forum Post, Reply Your Comment Feed Post, Reply Forum Comment, Reply Feed Comment, Like Forum Post, Like Feed Post, Like Forum Comment, and Like Feed Comment.

Improvements

Implemented a Make Announcement feature
