Q. WHAT HAS CHANGED ON ENERGIZE?
New and improved search functions - including home page search, session search and Bible verse search. The new search function will even work if you accidentally mistype what you are looking for.
A new grab-and-drop session builder
One-click presentations - download all the activity title slides and visuals in your session into PowerPoint or Google Slides

Presenter Mode - improved functionality to allow to flip between bullet points or full item text as you deliver your sessions
Printable sessions that use less ink and paper
Improved video content - making it easier to find and view videos
The option to edit passwords for your team (rather than having to contact the Energize team)
The option to resend a pending invitation to your new team member
The second phase of the launch in May 2019 will include:
Group and session profiling - allowing to set up and filter sessions according to your session length, group size, faith level or venue size
Improved takeaway options to share follow-up items with your group after the session
Combining age groups - a way for those working across a number of Energize age groups to bring together suitable items on any theme in one click
Recommended session - a quicker way of creating a great session
Tips and training - useful hints from the Energize team on finding your way around the site and presenting your sessions
Q. WHY HAS ENERGIZE CHANGED?We wrote to our subscribers in April 2018 asking how we could improve Energize. We received many suggestions and the new version of Energize will provide the most common features you asked for. We have also modernised and refreshed the website, including the introduction of a brand new logo.
Q. DO I NEED A DIFFERENT LOG-IN?
Your log-in details will remain the same.
Q. WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS MY SAVED AND SHARED PLANS?
All the plans that you have saved on Energize will be transferred to the new site. If you have sent URL links to your team these will still work for the new site.
Q. WHAT TECHNOLOGY DO I NEED TO USE ENERGIZE?
The new Energize uses the latest technology to help you with your young people. Everything should work well if your computer, tablet or mobile phone’s operating system is at least Windows 7 for Microsoft, or at least OS9 for Apple, or at least Android 6 for Samsung, Huawei or similar.
