      <title>Setting to disable referral codes editing by partners</title>

&lt;p&gt;In program settings you can enable or disable the editing of referral codes by promoters. To disable the editing can be needed when you use the codes also in other systems (e.g. in Stripe) to tie the codes with discounts and so you need the same code in both systems.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;We have added an easy way to skip the "Open" reward status option. When you assign new reward manually or via HubSpot workflows you will now be able to choose if the new reward should be created as "Open" or "Approved". That streamlines the rewards handling in situations when you are confident about the created reward.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Expired Referral Stage</title>
      <link>https://www.growthdrive.co/product-updates/expired-referral-stage</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We have added an expired stage for the management of referrals. That stage is visible to managers and partners. It can be used to indicate which referrals are no longer relevant for rewards. You can set a referral to expired via HubSpot workflows (Edit referral status action) or via the expiration duration setting. Please note: The expiration duration setting will automatically switch referrals to expired if they are in submitted or accepted status and the expiration duration was reached.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Referral submissions via form are synced to HubSpot without the need to accept them</title>
      <link>https://www.growthdrive.co/product-updates/referral-submissions-via-form-are-synced-to-hubspot-without-the-need-to-accept-them</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Important change to submissions via referral form. When promoter submits a referral it will be synced directly into HubSpot. Before this change you had to approve these submitted referrals inside of GrowthDrive in order to see them in HubSpot. We hope this change will streamline the process.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Another important tracking update. Until now once a referral was matched with a promoter and later converted from a different promoter the referral would still be matched with the initial promoter. From now on if a referral is in stage submitted the matching would be overridden by the latest referred conversion.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
