We’ve completed a significant behind-the-scenes upgrade to LEAD’s core technology stack. While you won’t see dramatic visual changes, these updates bring:

  • Improved Performance - Faster page loads and smoother interactions throughout the platform

  • Enhanced Stability - Updated foundations that are better tested and more reliable

These upgrades ensure LEAD remains secure, performant, and ready for new features in the months ahead.

New Features to 7.0.0

  • When reporting is enabled on a questionnaire, you now have the option to get a combined report in addition to the aggregate report

Version 6.56.0 (2025-12-16)

This release is lighter than usual as we work through major performance and security upgrades behind the scenes.

New Features to 6.56.0

  • Added the ability to set a publish date on Community Posts

    • If this date is in the future, the post will not be seen by other Members in the Community until the specified date and time, but will be able to be seen by the Post’s Author as well as by Admins and Global Leaders

  • Added a “Registered by” column to the Users table on Group Management

    • This will only appear for Groups which allow Users to register their Family Members on Group Registration

    • Now, the User will just be presented with a “Confirm” button to confirm their attendance at the one upcoming session, rather than having to select the session before the button would become enabled and allow submission

Bug Fixes to 6.55.0

  • When viewing Learning Paths which are in the curriculum of another Learning Path, the containing Learning Path now appears on the pathable Learning Path’s view with a primary action button which leads back to the containing Learning Path
