Staff Retreat 2014
Read a sneak peek into the Planning Center yearly retreat. Everything we do is guided by three things we love: our people, our products and our churches.
Shuffling Resources
If you have a busy calendar, constantly in flux, we made some changes in the past few weeks that will make it a bit easier to move those events around.
Check Out the Check-Ins Changes
Here are some of the highlights of the newest updates to Check-Ins including auto-filled locations and speedy station access.
Services LIVE 3.0
We've completely redesigned Services LIVE for version 3.0, including an entirely new feature set. Check out the options now available in your account!
A couple wild months for Resources
In the last few months, we made some improvements to the REservation Block page, and also made Resources itself more reliable and easier to improve.
iCal Feeds & Reports: More to Explore!
We improved the way iCal feeds work in Resources, added some new reports, and wrote some detailed documentation for creating custom reports in Resources.
Drag & Drop Uploads
Get acquainted with our new Drag & Drop, HTML 5 uploader. Now drop everything and rejoice!
Planning Center Check-Ins Released!
After a month and a half of refining the application and listening to our wonderful testers, we are happy to take PCO Check-Ins out of beta!
Okay, Who's Hogging the Chairs?
When setting up an event in Resources, you may find that some rooms or resources are unavailable. Now you can see who booked the items!
Better Reports in Resources
We've released some updates to the reports engine, including print-friendly reports!
Split Teams
Experience one team using different people at each service time. Team members can also set new Time Preferences to specify when they want to serve.

Announcing Planning Center Check-Ins
Today we announce Planning Center Check-Ins, our new child and volunteer check-in system.
Email Deliverability
Yahoo had recently decided not to deliver any emails sent from Planning Center, but we've resolved that, so all new emails should arrive consistently.
Event Archiving in Resources
When an event is over, it will now drop out of the main view of events (though, still accessible via search.)

Launching Music Stand version 3 including a new modern design, audio looping, a flashing metronome, offline annotation sync, and a dark theme.
File License Tracking
Services can now help you track individual file licenses and email you when you've exceeded them.

You can now reply via email if someone asks a question or makes a comment in Resources and Services.
