  **Must know**

  * **Released Thursday, August 20, 2026.**
  * **The family portal is now labelled Guardian Portal** and has a new web address. Old links still open it.
  * **Some changes depend on your plan.** **Settings > Organization > Features** shows what your club has. A feature marked **Not included** needs Uplifter support.
</Note>

## For club staff

**Sell and scan event tickets.** With **Event Ticketing** in your plan, sell tickets on your club website and at the point of sale, with QR codes, email delivery, purchase limits and shareable **Door scanner links**. See [selling tickets](/club/events-competitions/sell-tickets-to-an-event).

**Achievements that award themselves.** In **Settings > Training > Achievements** (part of **Training** in your plan), athletes are awarded automatically when they meet your criteria. Achievements can be required for registration, and coaches can award them from evaluations. Since Uplifter 1.7.1, new awards can wait for someone with the **Publish Achievements** permission. See [setting up achievements](/club/staff-operations/set-up-achievements) and [coach awards](/coaches/coach-athletes-evaluations/athlete-earns-achievement).

**Build invoices from your catalog.** **Create Invoice** builds lines from programs, memberships, passes and store items at catalog prices, adds required memberships and takes a discount. The invoice list's status filter adds **Overdue**. See [creating an invoice](/club/payments-checkout/create-and-send-an-invoice).

**Print or download a signed waiver.** A signed waiver on an athlete's profile has **Print** and **Download** and shows its version. See [requiring waivers](/club/programs-classes/require-waivers-medical-forms).

**More control over campaigns and notifications.** Email and SMS campaigns can combine audiences, preview and deselect recipients, and copy staff. In **Settings > Communication > Notifications** you can also reword system notifications, copy staff on them and switch optional rules on or off. Since Uplifter 1.7.1, rules are built and edited on a full page instead of a pop-up. See [notification rules](/club/communications/what-are-notification-rules-and-reminders).

**A Home Page screen and custom pages.** **Settings > Website > Home Page** now holds the hero and info boxes for every club. With **Website Customization** in your plan, you can build pages from widgets and customize the header navigation. See [your club website](/product/website-builder).

**Prorate memberships or charge the full period.** A **Prorate partial periods** switch lets a flat fee, like a camp week, always charge full price. See [membership pricing](/club/memberships/how-do-i-set-membership-pricing-and-billing).

**Adding a member charges like checkout.** **Add member** charges the saved card at checkout pricing (proration, tax, fees) with a **Charge summary**, or emails an invoice if no card is saved. **Comp (no charge)** is a switch. See [adding a member](/club/memberships/how-do-i-manually-add-a-member).

**Program editing matches program creation.** A program's **Configure** panel gains a **Billing** tab, **Edit step-by-step** reopens the full editor, weekly schedules can change with athletes enrolled, and existing programs can join a season. See [editing a program](/club/programs-classes/edit-or-archive-a-program).

**Past rosters show everyone who took part.** Finished programs and past sessions count everyone who took part, in the coach portal too, instead of zero. See [enrolled athletes](/club/registration-enrollment/manage-athletes-enrolled-in-a-program).

**Record refunds on imported invoices.** On invoices imported from your previous system, **Record refund** logs money returned outside Uplifter, or refunds to account credit or the original card where possible. See [what you can refund](/club/refunds-cancellations/which-purchases-can-i-refund).

**Deactivated accounts stop receiving messages.** Deactivated accounts and removed members get no email or text, and recipient lists show them as **Suppressed**. See [unsubscribes and bounces](/club/communications/what-happens-when-a-family-unsubscribes-or-an-email-bounces).

**View Families controls Guardians.** **View Families** now covers the whole **Guardians** section, the Guardians report and guardian exports. See [staff permissions](/club/staff-operations/staff-roles-and-permissions).

## For families

**The family portal is now the Guardian Portal.** It has a new web address, and old links still open it. **Orders** is now **Invoices**, and each athlete's page shows their achievements and badges. See [the Guardian Portal](/families/families-getting-started/what-is-the-guardian-portal).

**Email preferences for each club.** **Email Preferences** in **Settings** lets you unsubscribe from or resubscribe to each club. See [emails you receive](/families/families-following/notifications-and-emails-you-receive).

## On your club website

**The Contact page uses your club details.** It shows the email, phone and address from **Settings > Organization > Overview**. Since Uplifter 1.5.0, the phone number comes from your default location in **Settings > Organization > Facilities**. See [contact details](/club/get-set-up/update-contact-address-timezone).

## Smaller fixes

* Order confirmation emails itemize service fee and surcharge rows.
* A gift card that covers the whole order completes checkout without a card or fees.
* Paying an order in the family portal uses the checkout payment step.
* The **Transactions** list sorts consistently and adds a **Settled** column.
* One-time memberships no longer show /yr on your club website.
* Discount **Uses** match the list after a cancellation.
* Every staff role sees **Admin** after switching to the family portal.
* Ask Hero asks for dates before creating programs or bookings, and keeps your conversation on refresh.
* Revoking a guardian invite no longer errors.
* Program end dates are capped at 10 years from today.
* The days picker runs Sunday to Saturday, and invoice lines scroll on phones.
* For clubs moving from Uplifter 1.0, in-progress registrations, waitlists, waivers, medical data and balances carry over.
