A fresh new look, all your email in one place, and tasks that follow your work. This release brings a refreshed admin experience, a unified Emails page, and a redesigned Task Board with a new drag-and-drop board view.

We've given the admin app a visual refresh. You'll notice a redesigned logo bar and left navigation, cleaner page titles in a new typeface, and a more focused, less cluttered workspace. This is a look-and-feel update: your navigation, links, and permissions all work exactly as they did before. We also removed the footer from admin pages so your content runs cleanly to the bottom of the screen (the footer is unchanged for students, reviewers, recommenders, and donors).

Email just got a whole lot simpler. We've pulled the six scattered email screens (compose, template library, template editor, settings, automated notifications, and scheduled emails) into a single Emails page with five tabs. Compose is front and center, and every tab has its own link so you can bookmark or share exactly the view you want.

Pick recipients, choose a reply-to address, start from a template, and write your subject and message with a full editor: formatting, links, images, merge variables, spellcheck, and AI-assist. A live preview shows how your message looks with a real recipient's information filled in. When you're ready, Send now or Schedule for later.

Need to fire off a fast message? Click New email to open a small compose window docked in the corner, similar to Gmail. Write and send without leaving the tab you're on, or expand it into the full Compose workspace if the message grows.

Browse, create, and edit your email templates in one gallery, grouped by audience (Students, Donors, Reviewers). Each template card shows who created and last changed it. System templates are protected from deletion; your own templates are yours to edit or remove.

Your scheduled emails are now a proper list (no more cramped sidebar) with friendly dates like "Today 2:30 PM" or "Tomorrow." Open any one to edit, reschedule, or cancel it.

Manage your automated emails (like incomplete-application reminders) right from the hub, and handle your email settings inline: your sending name, outgoing and reply addresses, your BCC address with one-click copy, and a Send test email button.

Your tasks now follow you to the pages where you're already working, and you can manage them in whichever style fits how you work.

Open a scholarship, a review group, or a student, and you'll see a Tasks section right on the page showing the open work tied to that record. No jumping back to a separate list. Only tasks that are still In Progress or Pending appear, so completed work doesn't clutter the view, and you only see tasks you already have permission to see.

Alongside the familiar list, there's now an optional board view: cards arranged in columns by status (New, In Progress, Pending, Complete). Drag a card from one column to the next to move a task forward, with no need to open it or use a dropdown. The board respects whichever tab and filters you have active, so it always matches your list. The list stays the default; switch to the board whenever you like.

A cleanup, too: admins who are assigned tasks can now be deleted properly (previously the delete appeared to work but didn't).
