## 26.17.2

### Features <a href="#id-26.17.2-features" id="id-26.17.2-features"></a>

* **Copy Registration Types** — Event organizers can now copy a registration type within an event, bringing along its registration form, all of its questions, and its confirmation message, so similar types no longer have to be rebuilt from scratch. Fees are not copied. See [Registration Types](/plan/community-events/registration-types.md).
* **Cybersource Payments** — Cybersource is now available as an online payment provider for paid community events, with embedded card checkout, full refunds, and voids. Per-member refunds are not yet available with Cybersource.

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.17.2-improvements" id="id-26.17.2-improvements"></a>

* **Highlights Dashboard** — The Extension Impact Dashboard is now named **Highlights**, with tighter introductory text, and panels that chart a single module, such as Direct Contacts or Success Stories, now appear only when your organization has that module turned on. See [Highlights Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/extension-dashboard.md) and [Impact Dashboards](/analyze/impact-dashboards.md).
* **Privacy Policy** — The PEARS privacy policy now describes the Cloudflare security check that protects public event registration pages, including that it may run in the background without anything appearing on screen.

### Fixes <a href="#id-26.17.2-fixes" id="id-26.17.2-fixes"></a>

* **Bug Fixes** — Resolved issues in Community Events created from program activities, time fields, the registration security check, event payments, and the Payment Details export.

{% update date="2026-10-01" %}

## 26.17.0

* **Event Preview Sign-In** — Preview mode for a community event now opens only for someone signed in to PEARS who can view the event, so anyone else who opens a copied preview link sees the event's public page instead. See [Publish an Event](/plan/community-events/publish-an-event.md).
* **Youth Programming Auto Calculate Prompt** — For a program activity in a 2027 or later reporting period, the prompt to fill demographics from Youth Programming totals no longer lists the notes about Other Combination race values and estimated gender by age, because those totals now carry over category for category. See [Auto Calculate Program Activity Demographics](/engage/program-activities/auto-calculate-demographics.md).
* **Bug Fixes** — Resolved issues in Community Events registration, Program Activity demographics, and the Export to Partners workbook.

* **Youth Programming Race and Ethnicity** — Youth Programming for a program activity in a 2027 or later reporting period now uses the combined **Race and Ethnicity** table, auto-calculate carries those counts from event registrations into Youth Programming and from Youth Programming into the program activity's demographics, and the program activity export includes the matching columns. See [Add Youth Programming Data](/engage/program-activities/add-youth-programming-data.md).
* **Site List Columns** — The Sites list's **Related Object Count** column is now **Related Objects**, with a tooltip describing what it counts, and the **Created By** column is hidden by default. See [Manage Sites](/administration/administration/manage-sites.md).

## 26.16.0

Data Mart changes: [26.16.0](https://support.pears.io/pages/btmyP4N2TzB1bJiVp11y#id-26.16.0)

API changes: [26.16.0](https://support.pears.io/pages/YjXyxbouIBLxaCvEWutA#id-26.16.0)

### Features <a href="#id-26.16.0-features" id="id-26.16.0-features"></a>

* **Combined Race and Ethnicity Question** — Starting with the 2027 reporting period, program activities, PSE site activities, direct contacts, and quarterly efforts collect race and ethnicity as one question, with **Hispanic or Latino** and **Middle Eastern or North African** among the categories and separate counts for people who selected one category and people who selected two or more. Records in earlier reporting periods keep their existing forms. See [Add Demographics Data to a Program Activity](/engage/program-activities/add-demographics-data.md).

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.16.0-improvements" id="id-26.16.0-improvements"></a>

* **Site Demographics** — Once a 2027 or later reporting period opens for an organization, site demographics and the site demographics import switch to the combined race and ethnicity percentages, and PSE reach for 2027 records can be calculated from them. See [Add a Site](/administration/administration/manage-sites/add-a-site.md) and [Import Sites](/administration/administration/manage-sites/import-sites.md).
* **CRM Contacts** — Contacts now have a single **Race and Ethnicity** field in place of the separate Race and Ethnicity fields, existing Hispanic / Latino answers were carried into it, and the CRM export columns were renamed to match. See [Contact Demographics](/engage/community-relationships/contact-demographics.md).
* **Registration Forms** — The event form builder offers a **Race and Ethnicity Checkbox Group** with the combined categories in every organization, so forms for upcoming events can be prepared early, and stops offering the separate Ethnicity element for new questions once the organization's 2027 reporting period opens. Saved forms are unchanged. See [Form Builder Basics](/plan/community-events/form-builder-basics.md).
* **Auto-Calculate for the Combined Question** — Program activities in 2027 and later reporting periods calculate demographics from surveys that use the new **Race and Ethnicity** question types, from event registrations, and from site demographics, and direct contacts and quarterly efforts calculate the combined categories from CRM, program activity, and direct contact data. See [Auto Calculate Program Activity Demographics](/engage/program-activities/auto-calculate-demographics.md).
* **Impact Dashboards** — Demographic charts show the combined categories for 2027 and later records and label the two eras when a selection spans both, the Census Comparison dashboard gains a **Hispanic or Latino** map, and the critical-issue panels report race and ethnicity together for 2027 quarterly efforts. See [Direct Education Demographics](/analyze/impact-dashboards/panels/direct-education-demographics.md) and [Census Dashboards Overview](/analyze/impact-dashboards/census-dashboards.md).
* **Exports and Importers** — Module exports add the combined race and ethnicity columns and leave out the separate columns when every exported record is in a 2027 or later reporting period, the program activity import template includes the combined columns once the organization has entered the 2027 reporting period, and the WebNEERS importer maps its race and ethnicity codes into the combined categories. See [Import Program Activities](/engage/program-activities/import-program-activities.md).
* **Renamed Category** — **Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander** is now **Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander** on every form, report, and export, following the 2024 federal standard.
* **Direct Contacts Filter** — The Direct Contacts list gains a **Completed** filter. See [Direct Contacts](/engage/direct-contacts.md).
* **N-PEARS Export Guard** — The N-PEARS Export now declines a 2027 or later fiscal year, which it has no combined race and ethnicity columns for, instead of reporting every race and ethnicity as zero. See [How to Run the N-PEARS Export](/analyze/n-pears-export/how-to-run-the-export.md).
* **Partner Site Picker** — The Site field on the partner form now uses the standard site selector, with an **Add Site** button for creating a site without leaving the form. See [Add a Partner](/engage/partners/add-a-partner.md).

### Fixes <a href="#id-26.16.0-fixes" id="id-26.16.0-fixes"></a>

  {% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-09-15" %}

## 26.15.7

* **Partnership Importer** — The **unit** column now matches the units in your own organization, a value containing commas imports when it is wrapped in double quotes, and the template marks **assistance\_received** and **assistance\_provided** as required. See [Import Partnerships](/engage/partnerships/import-partnerships.md).
  {% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-09-15" %}

## 26.15.6

* **Session Actions Menu** — The Sessions page actions menu now uses consistent action labels, and once an event is live the delete entry stays in the menu but is disabled, with a tooltip explaining why. See [Event Sessions](/plan/community-events/event-sessions.md).
  {% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-09-15" %}

### Features <a href="#id-26.15.0-features" id="id-26.15.0-features"></a>

* **Partners Module** — A new [Partners](/engage/partners.md) module under Engage tracks each organization you work with as one ongoing relationship rather than one record per reporting period, rolling up its contacts, interactions, and involvement across PEARS.
* **Partner Reports** — A new [Partner Reports](/reflect/partner-reports.md) module under Reflect reports on a partner for one or more reporting periods, with assessments, accomplishments, and lessons learned.
* **Record Sharing for Contacts and Partners** — [Contacts](/engage/community-relationships/contact-permissions.md) and [partners](/engage/partners/partner-permissions.md) now carry their own permissions, with access tiers, masked contact details for users without access, and a request-access flow that emails the record owner for approval.
* **AI Entry** — Draft a CRM contact or interaction by dictating or typing a plain-language description and reviewing what the AI fills in. See [AI Entry](/engage/community-relationships/ai-entry.md).
* **Per-Member Cancel and Refund** — A single member of a group registration can now be canceled or refunded independently, leaving the rest of the group untouched. Invoices gain a **Partially Refunded** status. See [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md).
* **Partner Dashboard Panels** — A new **Partners and Contacts** group on the impact dashboards adds six [panels](/analyze/impact-dashboards/panels.md), including network graphs of partners and their contacts and an asset map of partner locations.

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.15.0-improvements" id="id-26.15.0-improvements"></a>

* **Contacts and Interactions Redesigned** — [Contacts](/engage/community-relationships/add-a-contact.md) now use a free-text Organization field in place of Site, drop the Unit field, and can link to partners with a role. [Interactions](/engage/community-relationships/create-an-interaction.md) can be logged straight from the list, split date and time into separate fields, and attribute work to partners and action plans.
* **Partners Sections** — Action plans, program activities, PSE site activities, success stories, indirect activities, and custom modules can now link to the new Partners module. See [Add Partners](/getting-started/getting-started/add-partners.md).
* **Optional Action Plan Evaluation** — A new **Does this plan include evaluation?** question hides the Situation Assessment and Outcomes & Indicators sections on a plan and its reports when answered No, keeping any data already entered. See [Create an Action Plan](/plan/action-plans/create-an-action-plan.md).
* **Critical Issues Setting** — Critical Issues is now an organization-level setting covering action plans, quarterly efforts, list management, exports, and dashboards. See [Organization Settings](/administration/administration/organization-settings.md).
* **Legacy Partnerships and Coalitions** — Partnerships and Coalitions are now grouped under a **Legacy** heading in the Engage menu, their exports and dashboard panels are labeled **(Legacy)**, and they are off by default for new organizations. See [Partnerships and Coalitions as Legacy Modules](/engage/partners/legacy-modules.md).
* **Client API for CRM** — The [Client API](/updates/client-api.md)'s Contact and Interaction endpoints were updated to follow the new CRM model. Organizations with an existing integration should review the technical reference before upgrading.
* **CRM Module Toggle** — Organization Administrators can now turn the Community Relationships module on and off themselves.
* **Event List Columns** — The Community Events list gains sortable **Created By** and **Free/Paid** columns, hidden by default. See [Community Events](/plan/community-events.md).
* **Editable "Other" Registration Type Label** — The label on an **Other** registration type can now be corrected after registrations have arrived, while the type itself stays locked. See [Registration Types](/plan/community-events/registration-types.md).
* **Updated Exports** — The CRM export reflects the new contact and interaction fields, and new exports cover partners and partner reports.
* **Direct Contact Auto-Calculate** — [Auto-calculate](/engage/direct-contacts/auto-calculate-demographics.md) now matches CRM interactions on the interaction's unit and date, in line with the updated interaction model.

### Fixes <a href="#id-26.15.0-fixes" id="id-26.15.0-fixes"></a>

## 26.13.0

Data Mart changes: [26.13.0](https://support.pears.io/pages/btmyP4N2TzB1bJiVp11y#id-26.13.0)

### Features <a href="#id-26.13.0-features" id="id-26.13.0-features"></a>

* **Event Waitlists** — Registration types with a registration cap can now offer a [waitlist](/plan/community-events/event-waitlists.md), so people can sign up after the cap is reached and be invited to register when a seat opens up.
* **Breakout Sessions** — Concurrent event sessions can now be grouped into a breakout block on the [Sessions](/plan/community-events/event-sessions.md) page, and registrants pick at most one session from each block.

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.13.0-improvements" id="id-26.13.0-improvements"></a>

* **Capacity at a Glance** — The Community Events list and [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md) now show registrations against capacity for each registration type, with a fill meter and waitlist count.
* **Registrant and Creator Separated** — Registrations added from Manage Registrations now link to the person being registered rather than the staff member who entered them, so contact info stays editable and confirmations reach the registrant.
* **Verified Account Creation** — Creating a PEARS account from the [registration confirmation page](/plan/community-events/public-registration.md) now requires verifying the email address on the registration first.
* **Session Capacity Enforcement** — A session's registration capacity can no longer be lowered below its current registration count, and two registrants can no longer claim the same last seat.
* **Composite Foreign Keys** — The [Data Dictionary](/analyze/data-mart/data-dictionary.md) now shows multi-column foreign keys in full, badging every participating column and listing each reference.
* **International Site Filter** — The [Sites list](/administration/administration/manage-sites.md) now includes an Is International column and filter.

* **Registration detail tabs** — The [registration detail view](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md) is now split into Registration Information and Payment Information tabs, grouping invoices, payment history, and payment notes together.
* **Mark as Paid** — Marking a single registration as paid now opens a dialog for the offline payment method and a required payment note, so offline payments can be reconciled later.
* **International sites** — [Sites](/administration/administration/manage-sites/add-a-site.md) can now be created for countries outside the United States, with address fields, labels, and required-ness that follow the selected country's format, plus address search and map pinning.
* **Event deletion** — Events with payment history can no longer be deleted, and the Delete action now explains why instead of showing a dead-end error. See [Delete an Event](/plan/community-events/delete-an-event.md).
* **Question library search** — The [survey question library](/plan/surveys/add-survey-questions.md) can now be searched by question ID.
* **Event form tooltips** — Tooltips have been removed from event forms; existing tooltip content was moved into help text, which displays reliably in both the builder and the published form.

## 26.10.12

* **Authentication settings for SSO organizations** — Organizations that sign in through an identity provider now see only their SSO status in the Authentication panel of [Organization Settings](/administration/administration/organization-settings.md).

* **Redesigned admin menu & Organization Settings** — The admin menu, user menu, and [Organization Settings](/administration/administration/organization-settings.md) have been streamlined and reorganized, with every administrative tool grouped into a single settings page. See [Admin Menu and Organization Settings Refactor](/updates/admin-and-org-settings-refactor.md).

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.10.0-improvements" id="id-26.10.0-improvements"></a>

* **Duplicate event sessions** — A new **Copy** action on the [Sessions](/plan/community-events/event-sessions.md) page recreates a session's details in one click.
* **Best early-bird discount** — When early-bird [discount](/plan/community-events/event-payment.md) date ranges overlap, PEARS applies the one that saves the registrant the most.
* **Flexible dashboard expiration** — When [sharing a dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/share-dashboards.md), you now choose the expiration date (up to a year out) instead of a fixed six months.
* **Optional performance-review surveys** — Self-assessment and supervisor surveys are now each optional when [creating a review plan](/plan/performance-review-plans/create-a-review-plan.md); omitted steps are hidden from the workflow.
* **User external IDs** — [Manage Users](/administration/administration/manage-users.md) adds an optional External ID field for your organization's own identifier, available as a hidden-by-default column and in the user export.
* **User summary for admins** — The user summary panel in [Manage Users](/administration/administration/manage-users.md) is now visible to organization administrators and user managers.

* **Clearer refunds & voids** — Reversing a payment now correctly labels the action as a refund or a void and gives clearer, more specific error messages.
* **Payment exports** — Event payment and accounting exports now list each charge, refund, and void as its own row.
* **Locked accounting fields** — A fee's [accounting details](/plan/community-events/event-payment.md) lock once anyone has been invoiced, keeping existing invoices accurate.
* **Flexible action plan copying** — [Copying an action plan](/plan/action-plans/copy-an-action-plan.md) to another reporting period now works as soon as the period shares a critical issue and program area, supports completed and approved plans, and is available to program area team leaders and consultants.

* **Copying custom module records** — When a [custom module](/administration/administration/module-builder/manage-versions.md) record is copied, the new record now lands on the module's current live version (rather than the source record's version) so copies stay aligned with the latest form structure.
* **Form builder discard prompt** — When a field in the [Module Builder](/administration/administration/module-builder/build-a-form.md) form builder has unresolved validation errors, switching fields, opening rule modals, closing the panel, or leaving the page now prompts to confirm before discarding the invalid changes.

* **Edit registrant name and email** — A new **Edit Contact Info** option on the [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md) detail view lets you correct first name, last name, or email for registrations not tied to a PEARS user account, without affecting accounts or CRM contacts.

* **Unlisted and internal events** — The "private event" option is now [**Unlisted**](/plan/community-events/create-a-community-event.md), and a new **Internal/Private event** option restricts visibility and registration to PEARS users in your organization.
* **Resume registration link** — A new **Get link to resume registration or pay** action on the registration detail copies a direct link that auto-routes the registrant to resume, pay, or view, and the same link appears as a column in the [registration export](/plan/community-events/export.md). See [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md).
* **Customizable incomplete email** — The Send Incomplete Email dialog now accepts a custom message body and offers a Preview that renders the full email as the recipient will see it. See [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md).

* **Restricted registration access** — [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md) and registrant detail pages are now restricted to event creators, collaborators, Event Administrators, and Data Managers; other users see a registration count on the event detail page.
* **Immediate collaborator filter** — Newly created records show up when you filter for yourself as a collaborator, even before you've saved the Collaborators page.

* **Copy registrant emails** — A new copy icon on the [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md) Email Address column copies the filtered registrants' emails as a deduplicated, semicolon-separated list ready to paste into Outlook, and the Group Admin Email filter adds a "(No group admin)" option for isolating parent registrants.

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.4.0-improvements" id="id-26.4.0-improvements"></a>

* **Split registrant names** — Event registrations now capture First Name and Last Name as separate fields, the [Manage Registrations](/plan/community-events/manage-registrations.md) table sorts by last name by default, and the [registration export](/plan/community-events/export.md) includes both columns.
* **Custom module reporting period locking** — On [custom modules](/administration/administration/module-builder.md) with a reporting period field, records can no longer be added or edited once all applicable reporting periods are closed (data managers retain edit access), and the General Information reporting period element now lists only currently-open periods.
* **Additional US territories** — Added American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands to the state list so delivery sites in those territories can be created.
* **Module performance** — Optimized a slow upload query that affected most custom module general info pages.

* **In-app notifications** — A new notification bell delivers system messages alongside email, with unread filtering and mark-all-read support.
* **Public event status filter and badges** — The public event list adds an Open / Closed status filter and shows Registration Full / Registration Closed badges so registrants can see availability before opening an event.

### Improvements <a href="#id-26.3.0-improvements" id="id-26.3.0-improvements"></a>

* **Participant terminology** — The default "Attendee" registration type is now "Participant" (and "Non-Attendee" is "Non-Participant") across the registration form, public event page, exports, and confirmation messages.
