:sparkles: Improvements

Use “Release Session” System Notification for Geofencing

We improved the geofencing functionality by switching from sending a “Reload Study” system notification to a “Release Session” system notification when a session is triggered via a Geofencing triggering logic, avoiding the need to reload the entire study.


:lady_beetle: Bug Fixes

Image Answer Type for Multiple-Answer Questions

We resolved an issue in the survey editor where researchers were unable to set the answer type to “Image” for multiple-answer questions since the option wasn’t there.
