Overview
This update improves the Teacher Search feature, making it easier to find and manage teachers across different academic periods. Administrators and staff members with the appropriate privileges can now edit teacher profiles and transfer them from a previous academic period to the current one.

When the toggle is ON, you can search for teachers within the current academic period.
Search Options
There are two ways to locate a teacher:
Preview
- Choose Preview to view a teacher’s profile without making changes.
- Type the teacher’s name, and their profile will appear as a preview.
