Save a roster as an Excel spreadsheet, see in plain words why the roster planner picked each person, and - for Sunday School - room safety checks on the "Mark attendance" screen. For everyone: • Save a published roster as Excel - alongside the PDF, calendar file and CSV, a published roster can now be exported as an .xlsx spreadsheet that opens cleanly in Numbers or Excel, with one sheet per section and an "Assignments" sheet. For coordinators and administrators: • Download a draft roster in any format - the draft-review screen now has a Download menu with Excel, CSV and PDF (list or grid layout). The PDF is clearly titled DRAFT, so a working copy is never mistaken for the published roster. • See why each person was picked - when you generate a draft roster, each assignment now shows the planner's reason in plain words (for example, "chosen to balance the load" or "assigned despite not opting in to this role"), so you can trust a pick at a glance or change it before publishing. • How rostering works - a new guide, opened from the roster-runs screen, explains the rules the planner follows in order of priority, what a soft rule and its weight mean, and what each policy does. A short reassurance note on every run reminds you that a run only writes a draft, never changes published dates, and that you can change any pick before publishing. For Sunday School teachers and secretaries: • Room safety checks on "Mark attendance" - where your ecclesia turns room checks on, each class on the cross-class "Mark attendance" screen now has a "Room checks" button for the twice-a-Sunday check (the live adult-to-child ratio, the checklist to tick, the number of adults, and a note); previously the checks showed only when you opened a single class. The checklist switches also have roomier spacing. Also: refinements and fixes driven by real tester diagnostics.
