Minor, but probably useful as you jump into this new season! ## Replying to emails now magically replies to the message in WrestlingIQ Before today, if you received an email from WrestlingIQ notifying you of a new message, you had to open WrestlingIQ to reply to that message. WrestlingIQ now allows you to reply to any ‘new message’ email and it will magically show up in the messaging thread. ![](https://blog.wrestlingiq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image-4-1024x870.png?width=1024&height=870&name=image-4-1024x870.png) Replying directly to an email… ![](https://blog.wrestlingiq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image-5-1024x612.png?width=1024&height=612&name=image-5-1024x612.png) … puts that reply directly into the group! **Note:** If you are replying to an email from a group you do not have permission to send messages to, the reply will create a new direct message between you and whoever originally sent the message (in most cases a coach or admin). I recommend that you login to the WrestlingIQ website on your phone (it works great in mobile browsers!), but I hope the above will be helpful to ensure all the messages get scooped up into one place. ## Parent deactivation With a new high school season upon us, a little cleanup is probably necessary. As a coach or admin, if you click on a parent you will see a deactivation link in the top left: ![](https://blog.wrestlingiq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image-3.png?width=708&height=358&name=image-3.png) ![](https://blog.wrestlingiq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image-2.png?width=752&height=696&name=image-2.png) Clicking that will remove the parent from all messaging groups (although it will not delete old messages sent by that parent in the group, or any direct messages). The parent will now be locked out of WrestlingIQ for your team.
