Improved

Fixed

We cleaned up and simplified the Add Teacher functionality to make it more stable.

You will now see a "Pending Invitations" section below the Add Teacher section in the Family Settings page. You can now cancel invites you've already sent and see when they were sent. If the pending invitation no longer appears in the section, that means the invite has been accepted.

Improved

The "Copy Week" button will now only appear anytime the week currently being viewed has planned sessions.

The dropdown list of target weeks for copying has been enhanced:

If viewing the current actual week or any future week, the dropdown will list the 8 weeks immediately following the viewed week.

If viewing a past week, the dropdown will list all weeks from the week after the viewed week, up to 8 weeks from the actual current date.

Long story short, it should now work as expected :)

New

Improved

  • Revamped Discover Tool (Web):
    Discover just got smarter. Enjoy advanced search and filter options, complete with screenshots, tags, categories, and community reviews to help you find exactly what you need, faster.

  • Custom Curriculum Enhancements:
    Now you can apply a curriculum to multiple students at once, define custom start and end dates, and choose specific days of the week for lessons to appear. More control, less clicking.

  • Pathfinder Navigation Updates:
    We reorganized Pathfinder’s internals to improve speed and reliability. Pages are now separated into their own components, which should result in a noticeably snappier experience.

  • Integrated Curriculum Scheduling:
    You can now schedule pre-built curriculums directly within HomeTrail—making planning even easier.

  • Introducing the Learn Module (Beta):
    Start working with your PDFs, not just reading them. The new Learn module lets you engage with curriculum PDFs in an interactive way. This is just the beginning—more integrations are on the way.

  • Behind-the-Scenes Framework Updates:
    We’ve updated the core framework to ensure long-term stability, security, and compatibility.
