Updates and enhancements

Conversations and check-ins

Enhanced data analysis validation for check-ins.

Refactored built-in template creation processes to improve maintainability.

Employee experience

Added explanatory help text for the Pass Ups count icon on the Employee dashboard.

User management and administration

Bulk upload example files for person properties now generate column headers based on existing person properties, making imports easier to configure.
