  6. Event list updated

    The event creation tab in the student dashboard has been redesigned. The updated event list is cleaner, easier to navigate, and lays the groundwork for a full event form redesign coming soon. If you manage events on orbi, you'll notice the difference straight away less clutter, more clarity. This is just the first step.

  7. Private events

    You can now make your events private. Unlisting an event means it won't show up in the explorer only people with a direct link can find it and sign up. It's perfect for internal gatherings, exclusive meetups, or anything you want to keep tight. And for organizations running memberships: you can set specific membership tiers as exceptions, so your members always see the event even when everyone else can't.

  8. Dark mode

    Dark mode is now live in the Orbi app. Clean, sleek, and easy on the eyes it's a whole new way to experience Orbi, and we think you're going to love it. Turning it on takes about three taps: open your profile, go to settings, and flip the switch. Just make sure you're on the latest version first. From everyone at Orbi happy holidays, and here's to more good things ahead.
