*New* Add up to Two Custom Links to the "Your Account" Dropdown Menu
We're pleased to report that an optional feature now allows churches to request up to two additional custom links be added to the "Your Account" dropdown menu. The goal of the feature is to allow a method of adding important links for donors in the "Your Account" menu to access quickly, such as "Make a Pledge" or similar. For your convenience, we've included a preview of the update below.

*New* OnlineGiving.org Mobile App Global Congregation Filtering for MinistryPlatform Churches
We're pleased to report the OnlineGiving.org mobile app for MinistryPlatform churches has been enhanced to automatically include the church-wide congregation when filtering by preferred campus. Prior to the update when a mobile app user was signed in and had a preferred campus. The software would intelligently prefilter various parts of the mobile application by the preferred campus for user browsing convenience. The update enhances this functionality to also include the global (church-wide) congregation in addition to the preferred campus so that the end-user can easily see church-wide items such as when viewing events, checking in, recording event metrics, the group finder, and the opportunity finder.
It's important to note - Mobile app users may need to close the open app on their device from the mobile device app switcher to view the latest changes. For iOS devices, swipe up and hold from the bottom of the screen to view the app switcher (tasks manager), then swipe up on the open app to close, then open the app again to view the latest changes. For older iOS devices, double-tap the home button to view the app switcher. For Android devices, tap the navigation button, swipe up on the open app to close, and then open the app to view the latest changes.
