Frequently asked questions
What course subscription features were added in Softbook 2.0.3?
Schools can enable subscriptions for courses and use recurring access as a new monetization model. After purchasing, students receive a My Subscriptions section where they can review details, extend access, or cancel. This supports flexible content access while giving learners direct control over their current subscription.
How can a school team monitor student subscriptions?
A Subscriptions tab in each student profile shows active, cancelled, and expired subscriptions, and authorized staff can cancel one manually. The Sales section also includes a subscription overview with status filters. Together, these views help administrators and instructors track individual cases and analyze subscriptions across the school.
What can students see in the Store and My Payments sections?
The new Store lists courses and subscriptions currently available for purchase inside the school. My Payments provides each student with a personal transaction history. Payment records begin from the date version 2.0.3 is installed, so earlier transactions are not retroactively added to that section.
Which course management fixes are included in version 2.0.3?
Administrators can open or close an entire module from the course page or student profile. Product type is fixed at creation, mobile access for fixed schedules is improved, and deleted courses no longer appear in selectors. The update also fixes lesson copying, preserves watermarks in course copies, and corrects support and announcement errors.
Which new interface languages are available in Softbook 2.0.3?
The platform interface adds French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. These languages expand access for international schools and learners. System emails do not switch to the new locales in this release and continue using the previously available languages until a later update adds corresponding email localization.
