	~~=== Registration Progress Bar ===~~		* '''Bulk Mailer History'''
	A new ~~visual progress bar tracks user advancement through~~ the ~~registration process~~.		** You can now see your history of emails sent through the bulk mailer! Go to the Bulk Mailer page and check out the new '''History''' tab added to the top.
	* '''~~Behavior~~:''' ~~Only displays during~~ the ~~active registration process~~.		** In this tab, you will not only see what emails you sent out, but you can also view all the details of who received the email, and edit or resend it if needed.
	* '''~~Completion~~:''' ~~Once~~ a ~~participant finishes core registration,~~ the ~~bar disappears—even if they still have optional forms to upload or unrequired information to fill out~~.
			* '''Paperwork Review: Bulk Mark Ready Action'''
			** Marking the status in Paperwork Review just got easier with the Bulk Mark Ready action. Now you can select multiple entries and mark them <code>Ready for Review</code> and/or <code>Ready for Judging</code>.

			* '''Paperwork Review: Batched Email Notifications'''
			** When sending comments and status changes for Paperwork Review, emails can now be delayed and sent all at once to participants instead of one at a time.
			** '''Location:''' Set this up in the '''Form Packets Manager'''.

	=== New Configuration Options ===		=== New Configuration Options ===

	* '''~~Date of Birth Config (_____ - Date of Birth)'''~~		* '''Entry Status – Hide Status from Participants'''
	** '''Location:''' Found within each user's registration setup configurations.		** '''Function:''' Hides the entry status from participants on their user profiles.
	** '''Options:''' <code>Hide~~</code> \| <code>Ask</code> \| <code>Require</code>~~
	** '''Function:''' Enables a dedicated field for the selected user type to input their date of birth.

	* '''Uploaded Files Manager'''
	** '''Function:''' ~~Allows management and deletion of historical files (images, documents, links) uploaded to your event over~~ the ~~years.~~
	** '''Home Page Integration:''' This manager is now accessible directly inside the '''Home Page editor''', enabling you to drag and drop existing files directly onto your page.
	~~::: ⚠️ '''Note~~ on ~~Responsiveness:''' When manually resizing these files in the editor, they may not scale cleanly across all screen dimensions (such as mobile devices or Chromebooks)~~.

	* '''~~Archive Before Date~~'''		* '''Participant’s Student ID as Username'''
	** '''Function:''' ~~Useful for overlapping registration periods. Input a specific cutoff date~~ to ~~erase system information prior to that day~~.		** '''Function:''' Allows participants to use their Student ID as their username.
	** ''~~For more details on implementation, please see~~ the ~~Tips section~~.''		** '''Setup:''' Requires turning ON the configuration <code>Participants Profile - Student ID Number</code> (set to <code>Ask</code> or <code>Require</code>).

	** You can quickly locate these items by using the filter to ~~sort by~~ <code>~~Pre-approval: Required~~</code>.

	* '''Teacher School Registration Form'''
	** When teachers add a new school during the registration workflow, they are now prompted with the full school registration form. This allows them to populate all necessary school details immediately, rather than just providing the school name.

	* '''~~NHD Judge Assignments~~'''		* '''Paperwork Review: Batched Email Notifications'''
	** ~~For National History Day (NHD) configurations, judges~~' ~~phone numbers are now visible directly on~~ the '''~~Judge Groups~~''' ~~page when reviewing round assignments~~.		** Emails generated from comments and status changes in Paperwork Review can now be delayed and sent all at once to participants rather than individually.
