Flag Child Activity

TLDR; Parents can now flag screenshots and keystrokes while reviewing child activity. Flagged items can't be deleted for 60 days, giving your more time to review with a spouse or discuss with your child.

Until now, when reviewing your child's activity, it was difficult to *preserve specific screenshots or keystrokes that needed further investigation or discussion. You had to keep entire days of activity to avoid losing important items, making them hard to find later.

Several parents requested a way to flag items for later review, especially when both parents are involved. So we've just shipped a new feature that lets you flag child activity by clicking a flag icon under any item.

After flagging an item, you can delete the rest of the day's activity as normal, but flagged items will be preserved for 60 days and remain available for review until unflagged and deleted. Days containing flagged items will be marked as shown below:

Let us know what you think! And keep the feature requests coming!
