[APP] Community Identity

Shared by Product • June 25, 2025

For self-registered mobile app users, there were a few roles that did not map to an appropriate identity. This caused some parents and other app users to end up under the "No Identity" section of the app people management page.

We have now introduced a "Community" identity to capture these app roles and ensure that all mobile app roles are associated to an equivalent identity in the system.

The app roles that have been mapped to the "Community" identity are:

  • Alumni
  • Community (Other)
  • Member
  • Volunteer

Shared by Product • June 25, 2025

Edlio AI will now automatically generate alt text for images uploaded to the Shuffles feature, making it easier to improve site accessibility.


Administrators can also control the alt text approval process by enabling Edlio AI Alt Text Approval Required in the accessibility settings.


Leave the setting unchecked (default) to automatically publish AI-generated alt text without review.


Check the setting to enable the approval workflow.

When enabled:

  • Images with pending alt text approval will show a purple "Needs review" border
  • These images won't appear on your public site until reviewed
  • Users can approve AI suggestions as-is or manually edit the alt text before publishing
  • A banner will notify users when images require review

This feature helps ensure your AI-generated alt text meets your quality standards while streamlining accessibility compliance for your school website.

Shared by Product • June 25, 2025

You can now choose which administrators receive notifications about account creation requests or privilege requests.

Administrators can now decide who should receive these notifications from Settings > Security > Account / Privilege Request Notifications.

Leave the setting in the default "All site administrators" to continue to send notification emails to all administrators.

Change the setting to "Selected site administrators only" and add administrator users to send to the selected administrators only.

You can also leave this box blank and the request notifications will not be sent to anyone.
