# What's new this school year?

## We are excited to share a few of the new features and updates we've released for this school year!

1. Hilight has a new fresh look! You may have noticed a few changes when you first logged in this school year. The **new Home page** still makes it super easy for you to send a hilight, but you can now also see a teaser of the **Bulletin** feeds to get a taste for what is happening at your school and across your district. 
   
   You'll also notice that the navigation pane moved from the **purple sidebar** up to the **top navigation bar**.
2. You may have seen this one towards the end of last school year, but you can now **celebrate** a hilight! Recognition is more meaningful when more people can be a part of it! The new Celebrate ✨ button lets any teacher or staff member add their voice to a hilight. Learn more here: [Celebrating a hilight ✨](https://hilightsupport.com/celebrating-a-hilight-?hsLang=en)
3. You can now **Bookmark 🔖** your favorite hilights! Some hilights are too good to scroll past and forget. Whether you're an admin pulling together content for your next school newsletter or a staff member who wants to save a meaningful moment, bookmark folders let you save and organize hilights so the right moments are always at your fingertips. Learn more here: [Bookmarking hilights 🔖](https://hilightsupport.com/bookmark-hilights?hsLang=en)
4. Sometimes a public celebration isn't enough, and you want to say thank you personally. The new **Easy Email Reply 📧** button makes it easy to send a private thank-you email directly to the colleague who recognized you, without having to open your inbox and start from scratch. Learn more here: [Easy Email Reply to hilights](https://hilightsupport.com/easy-reply?hsLang=en) 📧

All of these changes came from users like you who shared their feedback ideas for feature improvements! Thank you for continuing to make Hilight an even better tool! Have an idea?
