🌟 In the Spotlight 🌟
💾 Save Pages as Drafts Until You’re Ready to Publish
Build with confidence! You can now save your web pages as drafts while you’re still working on them and publish only when you’re ready to go live. This makes it easier to collaborate, review, and perfect your content before showing it to members.

👀 Preview Novi Census Before Sending
No surprises! Before sending a Census, admins can now preview both the request email and the Census form in the new Preview tab. This gives you a clear view of exactly what your members will see, ensuring accuracy and clarity before hitting send.

📣 Display Ads or Alerts with New Leaderboard Content Region
Create a consistent, attention-grabbing banner across your site with the new Leaderboard Content Region – available in Association Settings → Static Content.
Use it to:
Showcase sponsor ads or rotating banners for non-dues revenue
Highlight important announcements across your site
Optionally customize this content region on individual pages
The leaderboard appears above your page headers on all frontend pages (excluding the homepage) and integrates seamlessly with third-party ad systems.
✏️ Other New & Noteworthy
👥 Clearer Member Type Visibility for Inheriting Members
Members who inherit benefits from a company membership can now see their member type directly in their Member Compass. This added clarity helps members better understand their benefits and connection to your organization.
🔢 Refine “Total Members” Count
You can now exclude specific member types (like non-dues paying types) from the Total Members count box on the Member List page. This helps your dashboard metrics better reflect your true active or dues-paying membership base.

👩💻 Limited Admins Can Now Impersonate Members
Based on your feedback, limited admins can now use member impersonation. This is no longer an Association Admin-only feature! This empowers more of your team to provide personalized member support and review restricted content updates without requiring expanded access.

📅 “Copy Event” Modal Enhancements
When copying an event, you’ll now see helper text showing the original event’s date and time – a small but mighty improvement that saves you from flipping between tabs when scheduling follow-ups or recurring events.
📝 Longer Character Limit for Custom Field Instructions
Need more space to describe member-facing fields? You can now enter longer instructional text for your custom fields, giving you more room to provide context or explain what members should enter.
💌 Set a “Reply-To” Email for Smart Invoice Messages
You can now customize the “Reply-To” email address for your Smart Invoice emails sent through Novi! If your accounting or membership teams handle follow-up questions separately, this gives you control over who receives replies while keeping your Smart Invoice emails branded, personalized, and direct.
