Features & Improvements πŸŽ‰πŸ’ͺ

Our Engineering team was able to resolve two issues that were affecting admin functionality:

  1. We resolved an issue that was causing archiving users to present an error.

  2. Resolved bug that was preventing admins from filtering on a module name. When trying to filter by typing in a module's name (adding to a quest, path etc.), admins weren't seeing any results.

Additionally, we were informed that customers were confused about the Security Contacts Toggle settings in the admin menu. Now, when text is populated in the Security Contact text field, the feature will be enabled by default!
