April brought with it a ton of new and exciting features! Take your website to the next level with a new map block, add extra lines to your custom invoice notes, and manually send the daily agenda to a teacher. We are also happy to introduce our new integration with Lessonspace! Click here for more info and to receive an exclusive TutorBird discount!

Student Portal

• After viewing the details of a message in message history, the date range will now remember what you had entered previously instead of reverting to the default setting
• We fixed an issue that was causing deleted locations to show up in the Student Portal calendar’s search list

Student Management

• We fixed an issue that caused the status of a student to change from adult to child when moving them to a new family
• When adding a new student with an inactive status, TutorBird will no longer automatically provide information about auto-invoicing options
• We fixed an issue that would occur when editing attendance from a student’s profile, where returning to the previous screen would return you to the tutor’s profile instead
• We fixed an issue that was preventing some info from being passed along when an adult student signs up for lessons via a website sign-up form

Tutors & Staff

• The daily agenda can now be manually & immediately sent to a tutor by clicking on the new “Send Agenda Now” button in a tutor’s preferences
• The Attendance & Notes tab in a tutor’s profile now has improved mobile design, allowing you to see more information at a glance

Website Builder

• We added a new block option to the website builder – A Map Block! You can now easily add a map to any page of your website
• When adding a hyperlink to text or an image, you can now link directly to both pages and subpages
• When editing content using the website builder, the save button will now only enable once you make changes (making it more clear when changes have been made)
• We updated some of the block previews to even more accurately represent what the blocks will look like on a live website.
• We fixed an issue that was preventing custom HTML blocks in the website builder from previewing correctly
• Improved the functionality of the sign-up form widget, by having it automatically scroll to the top after moving to the second page
