Spring is here, and we've taken a moment to tidy some areas of Hero:
  • Pinned Posts that appeared on 'Older Posts' pages now successfully pin to the top.
  • List Builder report 'Caregiver Financial Viewing' is back to showing caregivers with financial access.
  • For non-MoE schools, the Destination school will now show in List Builder reports.
  • Groups > All Posts will again show the name of the post proof-reader. Note: this will not backfill those currently missing.
