# 13th Jun 26

## :sparkles: New

* **Flexible declarations.** Declarations now come in three types: **accept on screen** (read and tick, optionally sign), **upload a document you already hold** (e.g. a First Aid or range-officer certificate), and the existing **download, sign and return**. Club admins choose the type per declaration under **Club Settings → General → Declaration Templates**.
* **Set a document's own expiry date.** When you upload evidence you now enter the date your certificate expires, so Range Mate tracks it accurately and reminds you in good time — rather than assuming a fixed period from today.
* **Renew declarations and view your history.** As a declaration nears expiry a **Renew** button appears, and a **History** view shows every time you've made it.
* **Declarations can grant roles.** As well as disciplines, completing a declaration can now give a member a role (such as RO or RCO) — added on approval and removed automatically if the declaration lapses.
* **Required declarations.** Clubs can make a declaration mandatory — for everyone or for specific roles. Members with an outstanding required declaration are prompted to complete it before they can continue, and admins see who still owes one.

## :hammer: Improvements

* **Rejections keep a reason and a record.** Rejecting a submitted declaration now records a reason for the member and keeps the submission in their history, instead of deleting it.
* **More reliable expiry.** Expired declarations now reliably drop the disciplines and roles they granted — unless the member still holds them from another current declaration.
* **No printer? No problem.** For download-and-sign declarations, the download step is now clearly optional — members who already have a copy (for example a pre-printed one left at the club) can skip straight to uploading their signed form.
