This sometimes meant authorities were left in the dark if only one side had responded, creating delays and stalled progress.<br><br><strong>The Update:<\/strong><br>Now, when either the community organisation or the supplier submits feedback, the authority can see it immediately, even while the project remains \u201cIn Progress.\u201d<br><br><strong>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/strong><br>If either the community organisation or the supplier leaves feedback, the project will still show as \u201cIn Progress,\u201d but the card will now display a clear message: \u201cIn progress \u2013 [Community\/Supplier] feedback given.\u201d This allows the authority to see that one side has already provided feedback, even if the other hasn\u2019t. These projects will appear at the top of the \u201cIn Progress\u201d list, making it easier for authorities to spot where progress has been made and where action might be needed. The feedback will be fully visible to the authority and can be approved for public view as usual.<br>This change gives authorities better visibility on project momentum and the opportunity to intervene early if support is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"858\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-944\" style=\"width:572px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.png 858w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-300x280.png 300w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-768x716.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\ud83d\uddc2\ufe0f<strong>Community Organisations Can Now Transfer Projects and Delete Users<\/strong><br>We know staff and volunteer changes are inevitable, and they shouldn\u2019t disrupt your project delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"611\" src=\"https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-1024x611.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-943\" style=\"width:570px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-1024x611.png 1024w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-768x458.png 768w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-1536x916.png 1536w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1-1568x935.png 1568w, https:\/\/journal.matchmyproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1.png 1714w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Update: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community-based organisations (CBOs) now have the power to delete users from their accounts and transfer ownership of ongoing projects to another user within the organisation.
