This month’s updates are all about transforming complex processes into simple, intuitive experiences. For families, we’ve completely reimagined the application journey to be more welcoming and guided than ever before. For our school administrators, we’ve focused on a series of quality-of-life improvements that remove friction from your daily workflows. Here’s what’s new.

We believe finding the right school should be a journey of discovery, not a chore. That’s why we’ve launched a brand-new, guided application wizard designed to help you move from exploration to submission with confidence and ease.

The centerpiece of our update is a completely redesigned application wizard that walks you through every step of the process. By breaking the application into clear, manageable stages, you always know exactly where you are and what’s next. Best of all, you can now dive right in and start exploring schools without needing to build a complete student profile upfront, making it easier than ever to get started.

This isn't just a new look; it's a smarter system designed to save you time and prevent common headaches.

Beyond the major features, we’ve invested heavily in making the entire experience rock-solid. We’ve resolved dozens of minor bugs and usability issues to ensure every button, form, and validation works exactly as you’d expect. From ensuring event registration is clear for new users to making sure you can seamlessly start an application after showing initial interest, we’ve smoothed out the edges to create a truly seamless journey from start to finish.

We know that efficiency and accuracy are critical to your work. This release delivers a set of targeted improvements to ADMIT that streamline common tasks and give you more precise control over your data.

We’ve focused on the small details that make a big difference in your day-to-day operations.

These updates are designed to make the ADMIT platform an even more reliable and intuitive partner in your admissions process.

We have added the option to sign into TADS using your Google account. Users must have an existing TADS account and must link their Google account to their TADS account. This functionality is available to all user types (school administrators and parents/guardians).

We’re excited to share that a redesigned family-facing application workflow is now available in Ravenna Hub—built to make applying to your school clearer, faster, and more intuitive for families.

"Send Test" Button Now Available Across Key Email Workflows in Admit

We've added Send Test functionality to additional areas of the Ravenna Admit platform, allowing users to preview emails before sending. While this feature has long existed in Bulk Email, it's now also available in the following locations:

Flexible Event Reminder Rules and Templates

We've introduced a more powerful and flexible way for schools to manage how and when families are reminded about upcoming events in Ravenna Admit.

We’re rolling out a new family-facing application experience in Ravenna Hub, designed to reduce friction and improve clarity for families applying to your school.

Highlights include:

As part of our release of the new text composer tool in Ravenna Admit, we received valuable, early feedback from schools using it in real workflows. While the tool offered some promising features, we heard clearly that the experience introduced more complexity than benefit.

Based on this feedback, we have made the decision to roll back. All text composition (email and forms) will return to the familiar format you're used to—ensuring stability and a smooth experience as you gear up for the new school year. Our goal is always to support your work, not slow it down—so we’re stepping back to rethink the email experience and will revisit in the future.

We appreciate your patience and partnership as we continue to evolve Ravenna based on what works best for your teams.

Based on early user feedback, we found that while the tool introduced new capabilities, it also added complexity for day-to-day tasks. We're rolling it back to ensure a smoother experience for the upcoming school year.

Rollback and return to the former experience is targeted for end of week (July 18).

No—your existing templates and content will remain intact and accessible.

No action is needed. The text composer will automatically return to the previous format in Ravenna Admit.

We’re excited to announce that a redesigned application experience is coming soon to Ravenna Hub! Launching soon, the new process is built to be simpler, faster, and more intuitive—making it easier for families to apply to your school.

Here’s what’s new:

• to guide families through the process with greater clarity

• to reduce confusion and support completion

• that works seamlessly across devices

• so families always know what’s left to do

This update is designed to reduce friction for families while giving schools the complete, high-quality applications they need—right from the start.
