This change aims to make it possible to include all collaborators in Steeple, whatever their level of digital equipment, by offering login methods adapted to each profile. 🆕 What's been updated * **Email not required** : the email field becomes optional when creating a collaborator, making it possible to include profiles without a professional email account. * **Sign in via PIN code on touchscreen** : collaborators without an email can interact directly from touchscreens using their personal PIN code. * **Web and mobile access optional** : if the collaborator wants to sign in from a PC or mobile device, they can later add a username and set a password to access the app.

**💬 Messaging – Mark a message as unread** Until now, it was not possible to mark a message as unread in the messaging system, which forced users to mentally keep track of messages they had not yet replied to or that needed follow-up later. This change aims to offer a simple way to stay on top of conversations by allowing a message to be set back to unread so it won't be forgotten. 🆕 What's been updated * **New “Unread” status** : ability to manually mark a message as unread, so you can easily find it again and come back to it at the right time. * **Visual indicator** : the message marked as unread appears as an unviewed message, with the unread message counter updated accordingly.
