We've temporarily added the Legacy All Giving Report (AGR) to Standard Reports. At the end of 2023, the Legacy AGR will no longer be accessible. For give reporting going forward, refer to the updated and improved All Giving Report, which can be found at CSRconnect Admin Portal, Standard Reports, Giving.

Event creators can now minimize time and effort spent recreating events using the Copy event shift feature. They can only copy shifts to events where they are an organizer for or to those they created. Using the copy shift search modal, they can locate and copy a shift to the same or another event. For more information, see Manage events and projects.
Client admins can now control event start and/or end date changes and help prevent user mistakes after event approval. Until approval occurs, event creators can make adjustments to the event start and/or end date.
After Event Approvals feature activation, when event creators submit events for approval, a confirmation alert appears. They must confirm that the event information is accurate to move forward. After an event is approved, event creators must contact their client admin or another user with the Can Manage Events With Locked Options permission applied to request event start and/or end date changes.
Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to activate the Event Approvals feature for either or both fields.
For more information, see Create events and projects.

We have updated the text editor in the Engagement Element Designer for more customization. Users can now select a Text Column Alignment style and use the Heading button to adjust font size.

-
We've reformatted the Create events and projects page to display steps within shorter procedures.
