Changelog

Product updates, new features, and improvements to Skoolia.

v2.4.0
August 2026

Set Up From Your Own Documents, and a Finance Page That Subtracts

Set Up Your Timetable From Your Own Documents

  • Hand Skoolia the study plans and module sheets you already have — it reads them, builds a draft of your subjects and hours, and asks about only the details your documents didn't cover
  • You review and confirm everything before a single record is created, then generate the timetable as usual
  • French and English study plans both work, including hours written as 20h, 1h30 or 20 heures, and CM/TD/TP session types
  • Import from documents is now available from Scheduling at any time — not only during first setup

Guided Setup for Every School

  • The Setup Wizard is now included on every plan, so any school can get its structure in place without doing it field by field
  • Getting Started is simpler, and can be dismissed once you no longer need it

A Finance Page That Shows What's Left

  • New Finance overview — cash collected against cash spent, with the net for your academic year in one place
  • Cost includes payroll, not just expenses, so the figure reflects what the school actually spends
  • A monthly chart of collected against spent makes the lean months visible instead of hiding them in an annual total, with the previous period alongside for comparison
  • An optional Finance widget can be added to your dashboard from Customize, reading the same figures as the Finance page so the two can never disagree

Bring Your Expenses In Together

  • Expenses can now be imported from CSV or Excel in Settings → Import/Export, alongside students, employees, classes, subjects and facilities
  • Download the template, fill it in, and the ledger is populated in one pass instead of one record at a time

Clearer Invoices for Part-Paid Families

  • Partly-paid invoices now show what has been paid and what is still owed — in the invoice list, in the details view with a progress bar, and on the PDF the family receives
  • The invoice PDF now carries a clear Amount paid and Balance due, so a family can see where they stand without contacting the office
  • Invoices support an internal note for your team, which never appears on the family's document
v2.3.0
July 2026

Smarter Najiba, a Dashboard That Prioritizes & One Simple Inbox

Najiba, Faster and More Dependable

  • Najiba now runs on an upgraded AI engine with automatic failover, keeping responses fast and reliable
  • Najiba Autopilot reviews your school setup and proposes concrete, one-click fixes
  • Straight answers, always — when data hasn't been recorded yet, Najiba says so instead of guessing, and overdue invoice counts are now exact

A Dashboard That Shows What Needs Attention

  • The dashboard now leads with what actually needs action today — with accurate counts behind every alert
  • Teachers see their next lesson at a glance, right from the dashboard
  • Modules that aren't set up yet now show clear next steps instead of empty screens

One Simple Inbox

  • The Communication Center is reorganized into three clear tabs, so announcements, conversations, and history each have an obvious home
  • A new plain-language activity feed shows who changed what across your school — no technical noise

More Control Over Your Academic Structure

  • New Grade Levels manager — add, remove, and reorder your school's grade levels from Settings or directly from Classes
  • Academic years can now be deleted safely, with a clear explanation of anything blocking the deletion
  • The Curriculum tab is now Academic Structure, with tidier grading, rubric, and term configuration

Design & Quality Polish

  • Every page in the app now shares the same refined design, with mobile-friendly fixes across dozens of screens
  • Help guides refreshed to match the current product, now linked from the homepage
  • Even our 404 pages got the Skoolia treatment
v2.2.0
June 2026

AI Scheduling Reimagined, Worldwide Grading & Faster Setup

AI Timetable Scheduling, Reimagined

  • Describe scheduling preferences in plain language — including whole-day rules like "keep Thursdays free" — and the AI planner understands
  • New combined AI Review & Optimize flow: generate a timetable, get an honest quality score, and apply improvements in a single click
  • Smarter teacher matching suggests the best-fit teacher for each subject, with clear warnings when a workload is stretched — plus one-click actions to balance the load
  • Schedules now spread lessons realistically across the week, and every change is versioned so you can always look back
  • The full scheduling experience is available in English, French, and Arabic

Grading That Fits Your School — Anywhere in the World

  • Letter grades, percentages, or pass/fail — the gradebook and report cards now adapt to your school's own grading scale
  • Report cards render fully and beautifully in Arabic
  • A new grade-level catalog keeps class setup, subjects, and reports consistent across your school
  • Student placements stay accurate automatically through enrollment changes and class moves

Faster First-Time Setup

  • Onboarding is leaner — fewer required steps, a clear skip option on imports, and your progress is never lost mid-setup
  • Student imports no longer require an email or phone number for every student — built for K-12 reality

Student Dashboard Updates

  • Cleaner student timetables and a more accurate attendance overview

Security & Reliability
