Added FOCUS-51253 - Communication: Prevent Image Insertion for SMS and TTS Messages
Previously, the SMS and Text-to-Speech (TTS) editors in the Compose screen allowed users to paste or drag-and-drop images into the message body, even though these images were not deliverable. With this update, the SMS and TTS editors have been refined to prevent images from being inserted. This ensures a clearer user experience by only allowing supported content types to be added and sent.
Added FOCUS-51322 - Communication Platform: Enable Allow Replies By Default for Most Messages
This update expands the reply options within the Communication Platform. Previously, if a student or parent initiated a message to a teacher, the teacher was not able to reply. Those conversations were effectively one-way unless the teacher started a new message thread. With this enhancement:
- Teachers can now reply directly to messages sent by students or parents.
- The “Allow Replies” setting continues to control reply availability in admin-initiated messages. For example, if an admin checks “Allow Replies,” recipients can respond; if it’s left unchecked, replies remain disabled.
In short, the scenarios that have changed are:
- Student → Teacher messages now allow replies.
- Parent → Teacher messages now allow replies.
All other message flows (admin → student, admin → parent, teacher → admin, etc.) continue to respect the “Allow Replies” setting exactly as before.
