It's implied by the above release note, but it's worth calling out that the feature formerly known as "Reservations" is now called "Restrictions" -- a change that many of us have long hoped for.

Not to pick a nit with the fine work, but it looks like someone forgot to update the popup that comes up announcing a new release:
Version 2.2 released
We've upgraded the calendar with many new fixes and features. To see a list of what's new, see the 2.2 Release Notes.
Several new features have been added to this release of Calendar. Among them, the calendar will now display churchwide events and the Settings menu has been replaced with a Gear icon and is now located on the right side of the page. See the release notes for a full list of changes.

Most of the changes seem to be bug fixes, but renaming Reservations to Restrictions calls for a update to the Help file.

The help file also contains version release notes that need updating. There was another thread somewhere on the forum relating to layoffs of the tech writers in December, so I don't know if that's impacting getting the help updated or not.

Correct Service Missionaries are trying to help us but that might take some time.

The pop-up window (when signing into the new version) is referencing the incorrect version:

That's been fixed. But I have to say that I'm a bit concerned about the way the new pop-up was written. It sounds like the functionality of "Reservations" was changed. It hasn't. It was just renamed to reflect how it has always worked.

I agree. The wording is unclear and I think it's going to cause additional confusion.

Yes. This sentence in particular leaves you scratching your head:
A "reservation" means simply that a specific event is scheduled in a specific building/location and the location is unavailable for other events.
They just finished saying that "reservations" are now called "restrictions" and then they use the term "reservation" again. And on top of that, what they describe as a "reservation" sounds like behavior that can only be attributed to an actual event; that's certainly not how reservations/restrictions have ever worked.
