Active/Inactive Senders
This feature enables users to manage senders effectively:
- On the Senders Screen, the users can now inactivate senders through the Gear menu.
- A tab bar featuring Active and Inactive tabs is added: The Active tab will contain presently active senders, while the Inactive tab contain currently inactive senders. If there are no inactive senders, a message will indicate that there are no inactive senders.
- When a sender is inactivated the Gear menu provides the Activate option for the reactivation of the sender.
- Inactive senders are no longer visible in sender lists or during email configuration searches. If associated with drafts or queued items, a pop-up informs about their usage and suggests updating campaigns before inactivation.
Note: Inactivation is exclusively available for Senders linked to Email Campaigns in the History tab.
Note: Except for the 'In Use' column in the Active tab, the columns are the same in both the Active and Inactive tabs.

The Hide Challenge option is added to the challenges dropdown menu. This option is visible only to admins and gives them control over the user visibility of challenges.

System Updates According to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Gift Information Form - Alerts For Required Fields
When required fields are left blank on the Gift Information form and the user proceeds to the next page, the system has been updated to ensure that NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access) reads all alerts.
Community Profile Page Keyboard Navigation and Interactive Elements Focus
The community profile page has been enhanced to improve keyboard navigation:
- Users can now easily navigate through each accordion using the TAB key.
- By pressing the SPACE/ENTER button on the keyboard, users can expand the current accordion they are in.
- Also, this update ensures that only interactive elements are included in the focus to improve accessibility.
Manage Message Board - Category Listing
On the Category Listing page, the Help link has been converted to a button. When the Help dialogue opens, the page in the background becomes inaccessible until the Help dialogue box is closed. This change is intended to focus user attention on the Help dialogue and prevent interaction with the background page while it is open.
Profile Navigation
The side menu and top-right menu (containing the Manage Account and Community Profile tabs) have been updated to function as a tab list. By indicating the element that serves as a container for a set of tabs, users can more easily understand the page's structure. This helps in organizing and navigating content efficiently.
Added a label that describes the purpose of the set of tabs enhancing clarity for users.
Highlighted the tab currently in use, making it easier for users to know which part of the content they are using. This is important for helping users navigate and understand the information.

On the donation form, when hidden values were applied in a step, the values became unavailable when proceeded and returned to the step or resubmitted the step. Updated the system to ensure that the hidden values remain on the record and are not removed when navigating back to the step where the values are applied. |

When using the upgraded editor, the campaign copying functionality was not working correctly when the copied campaign's name was longer than 100 characters. Rectified the functionality and ensured that even when the campaign's name is longer than 100 characters the name will be automatically truncated as has always been the case with the older editor. |
