Relevant Country Switching
Civic Mirror allows teachers to turn the social studies classrooms into countries and their students into citizens. For teachers running multiple classes, our “Country Switch / Logout” menu has allowed teachers to toggle between their classes. For long-time users, however, the list of CM Countries was becoming way too long as it displayed all countries from years past.
Today we released features that streamline this navigation feature, so that only “Active Countries” are shown in the dropdown list. If teachers want to look at their old countries, they can do so from their Profile page, or their Manage Countries page.

And when users go to the “Manage Countries / Order” page, they will see direct links to upgrade or request extensions (should they need a bit more time).
And whether a user upgrades or asks for a trial extension, we now have features to make this easier too. See below, for example:
