This update aims to make it possible to include all collaborators in Steeple, whatever their level of digital equipment, by offering connection methods suited to each profile. 🆕 What has been updated * **Email not mandatory** : the email field becomes optional when creating a collaborator, allowing profiles without a professional email account to be integrated. * **Login via PIN code on touchscreen** : collaborators without email can interact directly from touchscreens using their personal PIN code. * **Web and mobile access optional** : if the collaborator wants to connect from a PC or mobile device, they can later add a username and set a password to access the application.

**💬 Messaging – Mark a message as unread** Until now, it was not possible to mark a message as unread in Messaging, which forced users to keep in mind the messages they had not yet replied to or that required later follow-up. This update aims to offer a simple way to stay on top of your conversations, by allowing a message to be put back into unread status so it is not forgotten. 🆕 What has been updated * **New “Unread” status** : option to manually mark a message as unread, so it can be found easily and revisited at the right time. * **Visual indicator** : the message set back to unread appears as an unviewed message, with the unread message counter updated accordingly.
