This update was published on May 2, 2022
- Auto-districting is now available in Columbia and Panama!
- We fixed a bug with the survey response API endpoint, it was not working in french language
- The Publish button on the page preview now only publishes the template for the current page instead of the entire theme. This also fixes a bug that allowed nations to accidentally publish a theme they did not have access to.

Recurring donation updates, donation import history and more views with search!

This update was published on February 14, 2022
We've updated how we categorize recurring donations for NationBuilder Payments:
- When recurring donations start to fail, you can find them by selecting "failing" from the Recurring donation status filter in both the People and Finances sections.
- Once a recurring donation is canceled due to too many consecutive failures, we update the status to "failed". Going forward, only manually canceled recurring donations will have the "canceled" status.
- Donation imports are now paginated so that you can see all the historical ones!
- We fixed a bug where the wrong broadcaster could be attributed to an email contact if you had multiple broadcasters with the same email address.
- Enterprise and Architect plans now get 50 permission sets.
- You can now search both precincts and saved filters. Saved filters are paginated now too!
All the bugfixes!

This update was published on April 25, 2022
- We fixed a bug that was preventing activity logging when removing a labeled tag.
- When a tag share was stopped and reshared, that prevented the recipient nation from unchecking the boxes to create new people and import new profiles as prospects. This has been fixed!
- Donation activities now reflect changes in the page the donation was made from.
- If a mobile number is not unique in a nation, incoming texts from that number will now be recorded on the profile who was most recently texted by the broadcaster.
- We fixed a bug that prevented automation emails from going out if the author had been removed.

- Calendar pages’ search by proximity feature has been improved! Before, when you ran a search for a zipcode within a certain distance, the page would immediately reset and default back to a 25mi radius (even when the search had run properly). Now, the search attempt is stored and saved appropriately.

- Dates in donation imports will now reflect the current timezone of the nation instead of UTC
