General Updates

Smarter Compliance Reminder Targeting
Compliance reminders are now sent only to the users selected in the reminder modal, ensuring they’re timely and relevant. If no reminder was set manually, a default alert will automatically go to the appropriate roles: Master Admin, Admin, User, and Location Admin (Owner) as soon as a document expires. This reduces noise and improves accountability across the team.

Location Launcher

Compliance Nudge Before Launching Locations
Admins now receive a smart prompt to review any pending compliance documents before making a location live. While they can still choose to proceed without reviewing, this reminder ensures the decision is intentional and informed. It helps reduce the risk of compliance gaps during location activation.

Next/Previous Navigation Buttons for Content

Navigating Training Path content is now easier. Next and Previous buttons are always visible, eliminating the need to search or scroll to continue.

Improved Empty State Messaging for Evaluations

We’ve refreshed the empty state message shown to supervisors when no Training Path evaluations are pending. The new copy is clearer, friendlier, and helps set expectations for next steps.

Edit Training Paths Without Opening Them Fully

You can now edit specific sections of a Training Path directly from the tracking page. This reduces clicks and saves time when making quick changes.

Clearer Empty State Messaging on Tracking Page

When a supervisor has no training assigned for oversight, the page now displays a clear and helpful message. This avoids confusion and creates a more intuitive experience.

Monthly and Cumulative Completion Views

Clearer Partial Credit Messaging

Assessment results in Training Paths now show exactly how much partial credit was earned. This helps learners understand their score and makes grading more transparent.

Standardized Progress Status Labels

The term "In Progress" is now used consistently throughout the platform. This replaces previously mixed terms like "Ongoing" to avoid confusion and maintain clarity.

User Roles & Permissions

User Role Names Updated for Future Permissions

We’ve renamed and restructured user roles to better support advanced permissions. While the underlying permissions remain the same, labels are now more accurate and easier to understand.

Here's what's changed:

New Role: Master Admin
Previously called Super Admin. Master Admins have full backend access and are now the only users who can assign Admins. They can only be created by the Delightree Customer Success team.

Renamed Roles:

  • Super Admin → Admin
  • Admin → User
  • Location Owner → Location Admin
  • Worker → Staff

A few important notes:

  • No permission behaviors have changed. This update is purely about role names.
  • Users can only create new users with lower permission levels than their own.
  • Master Admins, Admins, and Users cannot initiate chat messages to Staff roles.
  • Location Admins can still message any team member directly.

Chat

Transfer Chat Channel Ownership

Channel owners can now transfer ownership to another member directly from the Members tab. This gives teams more flexibility and control.

Express Yourself with GIFs, Stickers, and Mentions

Chats now support GIFs, stickers, emojis, and @mentions. Conversations are more expressive and engaging than ever.

Restrict Contact from Location Admins to Corporate

You can now prevent Location Admins from messaging specific corporate users. This ensures only approved contacts are reachable and keeps communication aligned.

Improved Channel Settings and Member Visibility

Channel owners now appear first in the member list, with other names sorted alphabetically. Users who can view members but not edit them will see new guidance. Pre-shipped channels now show who will be auto-added and can no longer have notifications disabled.

Location Launcher

Default Off for Location Profile Login

Location Profile Login is now disabled by default for new locations. It can still be enabled on request by contacting the Customer Success team.

Auto-Generated Location Channels

A channel is now auto-created as soon as a Location Admin (Owner) signs up. That person becomes the channel owner, streamlining communication setup from the start.

Reports & Analytics

Enhanced Member Analytics Status Filters

More status filters have been added to Member Analytics. This allows supervisors to isolate users more accurately based on their training progress.

Cleaner Draft and Time Visibility in Analytics

Time spent is now shown in a cleaner format. Completion dates are only shown when a chapter is marked complete. Drafts created by Master Admins and Admins are now split into ‘My Drafts’ and ‘All Drafts’ for better organization.

Improved Deactivation Flow for Training Paths

Marking a Training Path as inactive is now clearer and easier. Improved CTAs and supporting copy walk users through the process confidently.

Knowledge Base

Streamlined Chapter & Asset Workflow
Media uploads are now labeled “Assets,” clearly separating them from “Chapters.” You can build a chapter from scratch, upload a single image as its own chapter, or preview everything in either List or Grid view.

Location Launcher

Zip-Code Smart Location Setup
Adding a new location now requires only the zip code. Location Launcher fills in city, state, and country automatically. If the zip is unknown, it lets you enter the HQ details with one click as a placeholder.

Relaxed CSV Import Requirements

CSV imports relax address and contact-detail validation, so bulk uploads move forward even when some information is still pending.

Automatic Time-Zone Detection with Manual Override
When you enter a zip code, Location Launcher automatically assigns the correct time zone, eliminating manual look-ups and reducing scheduling errors. Admins can still adjust the time zone by hand, preserving full control.

Knowledge Base

Audience-Specific Visibility Controls for Articles

Article visibility now uses a dual-checkbox model: one box ensures every open location can read the article, and a second box extends access to launching locations if desired. Combine those presets with individual site selections to fine-tune distribution. Documentation reaches the right people while proprietary playbooks stay protected.

Forms & Checklists

Contributor Permission Tooltip Clarity
A new tooltip appears when someone edits or completes a form, spelling out exactly what contributors can and cannot do.

Audience-Specific Visibility Controls for Forms
Visibility settings now offer two check boxes: show to all members at open locations and optionally include members at locations that are still launching. Admins can also add or remove individual sites to create any custom audience they need. This precision keeps sensitive content private while making sure every operator sees the material that applies to them.

Chat

Delete Confirmation Safeguard
Deleting a chat channel now triggers a quick confirmation dialog. The extra step prevents accidental loss of conversation history and keeps collaboration on track.

Location Launcher

Custom Go-Live Report Export
Operations leaders can download a spreadsheet directly from Location Launcher that lists each site’s planned go-live date and contact information.

Task Search and Filter Navigation
A new search bar and filter set let corporate admins and location owners jump straight to the tasks they care about. Less scrolling means faster, more accurate launches.

Members

Hide Inactive and Pending Users
A toggle now removes inactive or pending users from view, giving managers a clean roster of who is actually active in the system.

Bulk Invite Resend and Mass Delete
After filtering for inactive or pending status, admins can resend every outstanding invite or delete those accounts in one click. Housekeeping that once took hours now finishes in seconds, keeping user lists accurate and secure.

Audits

Evidence Attachments for Flagged Responses
When an auditor flags a response, they can immediately attach photos, documents, or a written note as evidence. The context travels with the issue so store managers see exactly what needs fixing.
