<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Released Wednesday, September 16, 2026.**
  * **Club staff now see product updates inside Uplifter,** under **What's new** at the bottom of the admin dashboard sidebar and in the notifications bell.
  * **Some changes depend on your plan.** **Settings > Organization > Features** shows what your club has. A feature marked **Not included** needs Uplifter support. These include **Waitlists**, **Passes**, **Reports**, **Training** and **Ask Hero (AI assistant)**.
</Note>

## For club staff

**Product updates in your dashboard.** [**What's new**](/club/get-set-up/whats-new-in-uplifter) counts unread updates, and a major one pops up once with **See all updates**.

**Choose when waitlist families pay.** [**Settings > Registration > Waitlists**](/club/waitlists/choose-when-families-pay-for-a-waitlist) charges the program fee and any required membership **When a spot opens up** or **As soon as they join the waitlist**, and can require memberships and passes before joining. The defaults keep the earlier behavior.

**A Families directory.** [**Athletes > Families**](/club/athletes-families/what-can-i-see-in-the-families-directory) has table and card views, search, filters and sortable columns, and each family shows a **Missing requirements** card. It needs the **View Families** permission.

**See who changed what.** [**My Organization > Activity log**](/club/staff-operations/see-who-changed-what) has filters and **Export CSV**, which needs the new **Export Activity Log** permission (custom roles don't get it automatically). Key records gain an **Activity** tab, and families get **Account activity & security** in the family portal.

**Waivers keep every revision.** Each signature is tied to the version signed. **Review waiver changes** compares revisions before you [publish](/club/waivers/waiver-expiry-revisions-and-re-signing), **Unavailable** pauses signing, and **Require re-sign** expires signatures. Families sign by typing or drawing, download what they signed, and aren't asked again for a covered waiver.

**Class Lists grid.** [**Reports > Attendance > Class Lists**](/club/money-payouts-accounting/run-and-export-reports) prints a program with a row per athlete and a column per session, optional **Sign In / Sign Out columns** and an **Excel** download.

**One Take payment dialog.** [**Take payment**](/club/payments-checkout/take-a-payment-on-an-invoice) now covers saved cards and bank accounts, card terminals, account credit, cash and e-transfer, and says why an option is unavailable. Uplifter 1.7.1 adds it to partially paid invoices and lets gift cards and credit pay part.

**Enrollment status drives billing.** [**Pause**](/club/athletes-families/how-do-i-manage-program-enrollments) pauses the recurring charge, **Set Active** resumes it without back-billing, **Mark Complete** ends it, and **Re-enroll...** on a cancelled enrollment opens the enroll tray with the program chosen.

**Stricter or softer requirements.** Membership and pass requirements get [**How strict**](/club/programs-classes/restrict-level-gender-membership): **Refuse early**, **Refuse at checkout** or **Warn only**. Families see a "Before you get this" panel and can buy a required membership in the same visit.

**Ask Hero knows your settings.** When your plan includes **Ask Hero (AI assistant)**, [Hero](/club/ask-hero/what-hero-can-and-cannot-do) answers questions about your billing day, fees, waitlists and plan features, and says when a feature is off or a permission is missing. Its cards show names, not ID codes.

**Change a pass families hold.** Changing a [pass](/club/passes/edit-or-delete-a-pass) between unlimited and credits, or its credits, asks what current holders get.

**Refund to account credit.** Account credit is a [refund](/club/refunds-cancellations/what-happens-after-i-issue-a-refund) choice when you cancel an enrollment, end a membership or cancel a session through Ask Hero, and session credits default to the rate each family paid.

**Bigger tables, smarter search.** Admin tables open at 100 rows, and [search](/club/athletes-families/how-do-i-search-and-filter-athletes) finds every word you type, in any order.

**Point of sale pay links.** [QR pay links](/club/website-store/sell-in-person-with-pos) cover the full total, list the items and end when they expire, and a refused link points you to the card terminal or cash. The register fits a tablet screen.

## For coaches

**Teams inside a program.** [Programs can be split into teams](/club/programs-classes/split-a-program-into-teams), called groups in the coach portal. Coaches move an athlete for every session or this session only, filter by group, see who marked attendance, and see answers set to **Show on attendance roster**.

**Evaluation sections and level progression.** [Evaluation templates](/club/staff-operations/evaluation-templates) get named sections (for example Vault, Bars, Beam, Floor) with required skills and completion rules, and can be duplicated. Completing a level starts its **Next level** automatically.

## For families

**Pay the club with cash or e-transfer.** Clubs turn on **Cash** and, in Canada, **Interac E-transfer** in [**Payment methods & service fees**](/club/money-payouts-accounting/accept-cash-or-e-transfer-at-checkout) under **Settings > Financials > Checkout & Taxes**. A signed-in family who picks one is registered right away with an invoice due that day, which staff settle with **Take payment**.

**See your place in line.** Waitlisted families see their place, such as "#3 in line". Staff reorder or remove people on the [**Waitlist** tab](/club/waitlists/how-do-i-see-whos-on-a-programs-waitlist), the **Programs** list gains a **Waitlist** column, and turning off **Show Families Their Place in Line** hides places.

**Simpler family setup.** Every account gets a named family, so [adding a child](/families/families-getting-started/add-my-child-as-an-athlete) no longer asks for one. When you accept an invitation to a family, you can choose **Merge a family I manage** and see what will combine before you confirm. Athletes added by staff join the family right away.

**Returned bank payments keep access.** A direct debit returned for a reason such as insufficient funds no longer [cuts off access](/families/families-payments-billing/what-happens-when-an-automatic-payment-fails): the invoice reopens for payment. Disputed returns still cut off access.

## On your club website

**Price per session.** On your club website and the family portal, per-session programs lead with their rate, such as "$25.00 per session", and a [billing](/club/programs-classes/set-program-pricing) line such as "Billed monthly, about $50.00 to \$125.00 depending on the classes scheduled".

## Smaller fixes

* **Enroll in Program** bills a guardian linked through the athlete's family and shows **Choose a charge method** until you pick one.
* Checkout accepts very long program descriptions.
* Your website's **Level** filter shows only programs with that level.
* Automatic refunds for a family who loses the last spot work even when your club's balance is low.
* Paying for a full program says no place is held yet.
* Membership checkout asks the membership's custom questions.
* Guardians linked only through their family can add a payment method.
* Checkout pricing no longer hangs, and athletes a parent adds online show in the admin athlete list at once.
* Checkout says nothing was charged, not an error, when online payments aren't set up correctly.
* Programs or memberships tied to a deleted custom question save again.
* The **Negative Balance Warning** goes to club admins only.
* Coach portal: athlete search filters correctly, breadcrumbs show names, and **Needs evaluation** loads in pages.
* The **Activity log** sidebar item no longer shows a Beta badge.
* Clubs moving to Uplifter from another system: their exports can be imported, classes with no day or time arrive with the schedule TBD, and Uplifter 1.0 profile-only fields don't become checkout questions.
