Each device under a student in Device Usage now shows its serial number beneath the asset tag and model. Every column in the student table is sortable: click a header to sort by Student, Grade, School, Days, Avg per day, Total, Last active, or Devices, and click again to reverse it.
Four long-form guides written by a working technology director, on the new Guides page: Chromebook management for schools; K-12 device lifecycle and refresh budgeting; Chromebook check-out and end-of-year collection; and setting up a help desk for IT, facilities, and HR. Each one works on a spreadsheet or in Edventory and links the free tools where they apply.
A new Free tools hub with tools that need no account:
A vendor packet page for the business office: how to buy on a purchase order, the published tiers with a note that they sit under most formal-bid thresholds, a sole-source letter, the FERPA posture, a security summary, and vendor facts. Quotes, W-9s, and sole-source letters are provided on request through the contact form.
Every page now has a "Book a 20-minute walkthrough" button that lands on the contact form with the intent preselected. The form asks whether you want a walkthrough, a question answered, or a quote for a PO. Real product screenshots from the demo district now appear on the home page, and more comparison pages were added for the K-12 tools districts evaluate alongside Edventory.
The ticket-volume chart on the Reports overview showed "Invalid Date" on its axis. Fixed.
A round of changes from district feedback on the Professional Growth module:
The Usage view adds a "No grade" filter for devices without a grade and wider ranges: today, 7, 30, 90, 180, and 365 days, plus a custom range.
When an operator replies to feedback you sent from the app, the reply now appears under "Your feedback" in the app, and you are notified by email.
Device Care reports now label the reporting device's platform (Windows, Mac, or Chromebook) so mixed fleets are easier to read.
Self-study is available as a request format alongside courses, conferences, and workshops.
Devices, then Usage shows measured device activity per device, by grade and by day, from the Device Care extension, with enrollment diagnostics for administrators.
A rule maps each Google organizational unit to a grade so synced students carry the right grade, and a CSV import can add fields to students that were synced from Google without duplicating them.
The current area is kept in the page address, so a refresh or a shared link lands on the same view.
A new module that checks links in staff Gmail for credential-phishing patterns and disables flagged links until an administrator restores them. Detection runs in a precision-first mode to keep false positives low; restored links are sent back to the requester by email; enrollment is by district domain with no keys to manage. Installed as a managed Chrome extension through Google Admin. Available to districts by request while in beta.
Staff can file internal facility requests without the public form, a certificate of insurance can be kept on file for repeat requesters, and the public certificate step is optional, with the office following up when one is needed.
Approvers can ask the requester for more information from the same screen as Approve and Deny, and the reply lands back on the request.
Past events are hidden from the working list by default, and any approved event prints a setup sheet for the custodial team.
Districts can set an annual PD-hours requirement, and administrators get a compliance report across the whole staff roster showing who has met it, who is short, and who has no activity.
The educator professional-growth lifecycle, from request through reimbursement: submit a request, route it to a primary and a backup approver who are both emailed, attend, certify, and reimburse. PD Sessions let a district schedule an in-house session that staff register for, attend, and receive a certificate from. Available to districts by request.
Change a ticket's submitter so replies reach the person who actually wrote in.
The visitor log search now matches every column, including purpose and ID type.
A help and support menu is now in the top bar on every page.
Close out anyone still signed in at the end of the day, across visitors, students, and staff, in one place.
Student sign-out and drop-off tracking, at the front desk and the kiosk; contracted-staff check-in and check-out with a 5 PM auto-checkout and a timesheet; the kiosk staff roster is fed from the synced directory; and each kiosk flow can be turned on or off on its own.
Inbound email replies are matched to their ticket, and quoted reply tails are stripped so a ticket shows the new message, not the whole thread.
Onboarding and offboarding checklist steps can carry file attachments.
A technician can generate a draft reply written in the district's voice, review and edit it, then send. Nothing is ever sent automatically.
A Substitute purpose was added to the kiosk, and the required host field is no longer mandatory.
Link two district accounts and switch between them without signing out, for staff who work across districts.
A password reset link is now valid for 24 hours instead of one, so a link that waits in an inbox overnight still works.
The public status page now shows the individual outage windows the summary is built from.
A certificate of insurance can be attached to a building-use request.
An invitation that cannot be delivered now says so, instead of looking sent.
Open a payroll total to see the individual days behind it.
A payroll window totals time off used over a one, two, or three week period, anchored to the fiscal year, with an exact date range when you need one.
Announce a run of checklist steps in one email, and let an individual step opt out of email entirely.
Position-based onboarding and offboarding checklists: sequence the steps, hand off to the next owner when a step unblocks it, colour-code steps by who owns them, and remind owners of overdue steps by email.
An Apple device's model identifier is kept rather than discarded, and resolved to the model name and release date.
The people-side modules are now grouped under an HR section in the navigation.
Build a report by dragging columns into place instead of picking from a list.
An installable inventory client for Windows PCs that are outside your MDM. It reports to Edventory like any other connector, with an enrollment key entered when it installs.
Organizational-unit grade rules and the nightly toggle autosave as you edit them, and a manual sync can run even with the nightly sync turned off.
See a connector's push key when you need it, without being forced to rotate it.
A public status page at /status with uptime history and incidents published by a person, not just a monitor.
Side-by-side comparison pages for the tools districts evaluate, standalone help-center articles, and cleaner canonical URLs so the right page shows up in search.
Nightly district snapshots are copied, encrypted, to off-site object storage, and a district's data can be restored from a snapshot.
The license list sorts by the next renewal date, so what is due soonest is at the top.
Send feedback from inside the app; operators triage it in a review queue.
Configure a multi-step approval chain per request source, and approval emails carry an "Add to Google Calendar" button.
New district registrations go through a review-and-approve step before they are activated.
The platform console was rebuilt as a routed, multi-view app with a title per view.
Resolved and Closed were consolidated into a single Done status.
The Free tier opens to self-serve signup with a "Start free" button, no sales call required.
A database-backed marketing blog that publishes on a schedule without a redeploy.
A round of security fixes from an internal and third-party review, tightening multi-tenant data scoping, authentication and logout, and inbound-email spoof handling.
A license's annual cost is amortized over its renewal term for a truer monthly figure.
Edit your own name and email and upload a profile photo.

A new module for staff time off: leave banks, balances, and a calendar, available as a beta entitlement.
Plan feature lists made consistent across tiers, with a note that "users" means team logins, not a cap on students.
Branded phishing simulations with a micro-training layer, a lesson library, reporting and risk scoring, and deliverability controls.
Filter and sort the device list by operating-system version.
A per-module Configure permission separates using a module from changing its settings.
A sitemap, robots.txt, an llms.txt for AI assistants, and a branded social-share image so shared links look right.
Open a district as one of its users to reproduce an issue, per-district backup health, and invoiced revenue alongside list-price revenue in the console.
