Your End-of-Year Checklist from SNO

The academic year is winding down for many of you, but before your staff scatters for the summer, a little housekeeping now will pay off in August. Here’s what we recommend knocking out before you close up shop.

Lock down your site. Head to your user list and switch any departing staff members‘ roles to “Subscriber.” Their published work stays intact, but they lose backend access, an important step for keeping your site secure over the summer.

Tell us about adviser changes. New adviser stepping in next year? Send us a support messge and we’ll update our records so they get a welcome email and onboarding info before fall. If you’d rather handle it now, you can update adviser info yourself: SNO Dashboard > Contact Info.

Take a backup. Whether you’re planning a summer redesign or leaving everything as-is, a Design Backup gives you a clean restore point. It takes seconds and could save you hours.

Let us overhaul your site while you’re on break. Summer is the perfect window for a Site Overhaul — and it’s the single best thing you can do to start the year strong. Our support team will rework your site’s layout, navigation, and visual identity so it looks and feels like a professional publication. We handle everything while you’re away, and when fall rolls around your staff walks into a site that’s polished, modern, and ready to go from day one. Advisers consistently tell us it’s one of the best investments they’ve made in their program. Place your order now to secure a summer spot.

Get training on the calendar. If next year’s staff is starting fresh, book a virtual training session with one of our SNO experts sooner rather than later. Our fall calendar fills up fast. You pick the time and the topics, we take care of the rest.

Reset SNO Donate. Head into your Donation Settings and reset the goal date so you’re ready for a new fundraising cycle in the fall. Haven’t activated it yet? It’s worth a look — you might be surprised by the support your community is willing to give.

Reset FLOW. Once the year wraps, go to Settings > Account Reset to archive your 2025–2026 instance and start clean for next year. Returning staff, workflows, checklists, groups, and rubrics all carry over — without last year’s clutter.

Thank you for another great year. It’s a privilege to support your work, your programs, and your students. Have a well-deserved summer.
