𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀 — 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗖𝗥𝗠, 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 Running a community is rarely a one-person job. Someone answers the new members, someone keeps the CRM notes current, someone moves the cards on the onboarding board. Until now every one of those helpers needed their own paid plan to see any of it — so either you paid for them, or you stayed the bottleneck. Community Admins removes that: you hand the access over, per community, and the person you picked needs nothing of their own. The picking happens in Settings → CRM → Workspaces. Every community you own now carries a small shield next to it; click it and the list turns into a member picker. Only members who use the Extension themselves show up there — an unlock for someone without the Extension would do nothing, so the list saves you the guesswork. Owners and Skool admins are left out too: they already have their access. Tick up to two members per community (VIP+ lifts the cap entirely), and the change takes effect immediately. What the picked member gets is exactly four things, and only for that one community: the member list with tags and notes, the CRM profile of every member in it, and the shared sales pipelines and Kanban boards of its workspace — with full editing rights on cards, columns, stages and column automations. What they do not get is a board or a pipeline of their own; creating them stays with you, and so does renaming or deleting the ones you created. Members of other communities stay invisible to them, and the CRM profile refuses to open for anyone outside the community you unlocked. Two settings come along so the admin can actually use all that without a plan: the "Workspaces" switch under Community Management, so they can join your community's workspace themselves (the picker there only ever offers the communities they were unlocked for), and the "Automatic badges" toggle. Beyond the data they also get the admin actions Skool normally keeps for its own admins. The first of them is pinning: in an unlocked community the "…" menu of every post carries "Pin to feed", marked with the puzzle icon so it is clear where the entry comes from. One click pins the post to the top of the feed, "Unpin from feed" takes it back down, and the feed opens right afterwards so the new order is visible immediately. In Skool the person stays a regular member — the Extension carries the action out for them, and only in the communities you unlocked.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 — 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 Skool added community reviews in August 2026: members rate a community from one to five stars and write a few sentences about it. Those reviews live on your About page — a place most members visit once, when they join, and never again. The Extension puts them where people actually look. The unlock is a community-level decision by the owner. As a VIP owner you flip on "Community Reviews" in the Extension Settings and pick which of your communities it applies to. From that moment, every member with the Extension — including free users — sees a Reviews column in the community stats box, showing your average as stars and the number of ratings. One click opens the full list: every review with the rating, the reviewer's avatar and name, the text and the date, loading more as you scroll through them. Members don't configure anything; the column simply appears. For you as the owner, three more places light up. The Skool Dashboard gets a Reviews tile with your average across all your communities — weighted by how many ratings each one has, so a community with two reviews doesn't count as heavily as one with two hundred. Clicking it opens the reviews right there. Every new review also arrives as a notification, with the stars and the review text in the message itself, so you can tell a five-star cheer from a one-star complaint without opening anything. And the Workflow Builder gets a "New review" trigger. It fires per community and carries the reviewer as the connected person, which means a thank-you DM to anyone who leaves five stars is a two-minute setup. You pick which star ratings should fire — one to five, any combination — so praise and criticism can run completely different workflows: a warm reply above four stars, an instant alert to yourself below three. An optional keyword narrows it further, and `#RATING#` and `#REVIEW#` drop the stars and the review text into your message. Nothing here is published that Skool keeps private — the reviews are already public on your About page. What the unlock decides is whether the Extension shows them more prominently, and that stays your call, per community.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 — 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 Skool ships one page background, and it is the same for everyone. The Background feature replaces it with something you pick: thirteen ready-made gradients and mesh blends (Aurora, Sunset, Ocean, Midnight, Candy, Mint and more), a two-colour gradient you mix yourself with a free angle, an image you upload, or a photo that changes every single day. Four daily-photo sources are available: Bing Daily, Windows Spotlight, Wikimedia Picture of the Day and NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Each fetches a fresh image once a day, so the page looks different every morning without you touching a setting. Preview thumbnails load for all sources up front — including the ones you have not selected — so you see the actual picture before choosing. The feature unlocks with your level in the Skool Extensions community. Level 3 opens the Background itself along with all gradients, your own colours and your own image. The daily-photo sources follow: Bing and Spotlight at level 4, Wikimedia and NASA at level 5. Locked tiles stay visible with a grey wash and a level badge — click the badge and you land on the community leaderboard, where you can see your standing and what the next level takes. Two sliders control how the page sits on top of the image. Transparent cards sets how much of the background shows through Skool's cards and panels, and Blurred controls how soft the photo behind them gets. Both update live while you drag, and dark mode keeps its own slightly stronger opacity so the balance between the two modes survives a single slider. On photo backgrounds, readability is handled for you: the text colour is chosen by real WCAG contrast against the image rather than a rough brightness guess, and text sitting directly on the background — native header links, the pin strip footer — gets a fine outline so it stays legible over busy areas. Gradients and mesh blends are left alone; they do not need it.

𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 — 𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗯 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 Skool tracks who referred each new member, but that attribution stays hidden in the admin member list — your community never sees who actually brings people in. The Affiliate Leaderboard turns that data into a public ranking: a tab in your community's navigation that shows which members have referred the most new members, with gold, silver and bronze medals for the podium. The unlock is a community-level decision by the owner. As a VIP owner, you flip on "Affiliate Leaderboard" in the Extension Settings and pick which of your communities get the tab. From that moment, every member with the Extension — including free users — sees the Affiliate Leaderboard tab on every page of your community, not just on the Leaderboards page. Members don't need to configure anything; the tab just appears. The board mirrors Skool's own leaderboard layout with two ranking columns — 30-day and All-time — each listing the top referrers with avatar, name, how many members they brought in, and the commission they earned with them (the referred members' payments times the affiliate percentage locked in when they joined). Names link to their Skool profiles, and your own row is highlighted in green if you're on the board. The community owner is deliberately left out of the ranking — their referrals aren't part of the affiliate competition. A context line shows how many of your members joined via referral in total and when the data was last updated — so a young affiliate program with only a handful of tracked referrals is presented honestly instead of looking broken. As the owner you also choose who gets to see it — separately for every community you unlock: just you, or you and all your members (Extension users). The choice sits next to each selected community in the Extension Settings, and it is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the interface — in private mode, members never see the tab at all.

𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗰𝗮𝗺 The same recorder that sends voice and video in your DMs, comments and post window can now record your screen instead of your camera. Open the source dropdown in the recording popup and you'll find your cameras alongside two new choices: Screen records just your screen, and Screen + Camera gives you a Loom-style clip where your webcam rides along in a round bubble. Your browser's own picker asks whether to share your whole screen, a single window or a tab — no extra permission is added to the Extension. In Screen + Camera mode the webcam bubble sits in a corner of the recording, and you can drag it anywhere and resize it to frame yourself the way you like. The moment you start sharing, the big popup shrinks to a small control pill near the top of the page — Start before you record, then a red stop dot and a running timer while you record — and you can drag that pill out of the way. It never covers the screen you're capturing, and it never films itself into an infinity-mirror. The recording takes the tab or system audio from whatever you're sharing and mixes your microphone in on top as a voiceover, so you can talk over what's on screen. Pick which microphone (and, for Screen + Camera, which camera) up front, and switch either one mid-recording. If you end the share from your browser's own sharing bar, the recording stops and attaches on its own. When you're done, a Done button plays the clip back for review before anything sends — then Send ships it, or the trash icon discards it for a retake. Clips go out as WebM through Skool's native file attachment, playable right in the thread, with the same 10-minute maximum as camera video. Screen and Screen + Camera are Premium; plain camera and audio recording stay free. For non-Premium accounts the two screen rows show up greyed out with a gold crown — one click starts a free trial right from the recording popup. The whole recorder adapts to your current theme, dark or light.
