What has changed in Digital PA

Toolbox now shows the next six planned tools, clearly marked as coming soon.

• Added placeholders for Rota Assistant, Supervision Review, Regulation 44 Reviewer, Regulation 45 Reviewer, General Document Reviewer, and Inspection Assistant.
• Assignments and Staff Files remain available to open.

Assignments and Staff Files now sit together in Toolbox, keeping the main menu simpler.

• Open Toolbox from the main menu to access Assignments and Staff Files.
• Browse tools in a three-column desktop layout that adapts to smaller screens.

Book time away with one start and end date, including times for partial days.

• Save and remove multi-day leave as a single entry.
• Choose all-day leave or exact start and end times.
• Smart scheduling uses the working time available around your leave.
• Dashboard and Planner show leave across the full period.

Digital PA has moved out of alpha and into its first formal release, with live billing, hardened account flows, public trust pages, and operational launch controls in place.

• Versioning has moved to the 1.x release track.
• Custom domain, live billing, and public support surfaces are now in place.
• Launch readiness now includes legal, security, rollback, and operational runbooks.

Added a switchable month list view to Planner so users can scan the month either as a calendar or as a cleaner daily list.

• Planner now supports Calendar and List month views.
• The selected planner view is remembered between visits.
• The existing selected-day detail panel continues to work from either view.

Turned the task scheduling debug panel into a user-facing recurrence preview that helps explain planned future occurrences.

• New and existing tasks now show a minimisable recurrence preview.
• The preview shows start date, deadline rule, recurrence, and upcoming occurrences.
• This makes it easier to validate repeating tasks before and after saving them.

Improved recurring task handling and added rebuild tooling to help validate monthly and longer-term task placement.

• Recurring task anchors are preserved correctly when tasks are carried forward.
• Planner gained a Refresh task assignments action.
• Assignments now show clearer recurring task start information.

Review history became more useful by showing when work was assigned, due, completed, and whether it was overdue at completion.

• Review cards now include assigned, due, and completed dates.
• Completion timing now shows whether work was finished on time or overdue.
• The review card layout was reduced to a slimmer, more readable format.

Added public support, policy, and terms surfaces so the app feels more like a proper service than an internal alpha tool.

• Public Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Support pages were added.
• Support became a proper in-app submission flow instead of a mailto-only pattern.
• Trust links were added across auth, footer, and email surfaces.

The account system was hardened with enforced email verification and self-serve password reset flows.

• Unverified users are now stopped before entering the app.
• Password reset became a proper one-time token flow.
• Verification and recovery emails were added through the transactional email system.
