# Community Events 4.7.1

Hey folks! Today’s release adds a [Terms of Submission](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/community-events/#Terms_of_Submission) for organizers submitting events to your website. This is a great way to set an agreement policy that anyone submitting events to your can needs to review and accept prior to submission.

This is a minor release that should be smooth sailing when updating. That said, it’s always a good idea to [backup](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-site-backups/) your site and test changes in a [development environment](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) before installing this on your live site, as you would with any other WordPress update.

Here are the detailed changes included in this release:

- **Feature** – We added the “Terms of Submission” setting to allow requiring accepting the terms before submitting the events form.
- **Fix** – We fixed a JavaScript validation error when TinyMCE isn’t loaded.
- **Tweak** – We added a generic JavaScript validation for the event community form.
- **Hooks** – [https://docs.theeventscalendar.com/reference/since/events.community4.7.1/](https://docs.theeventscalendar.com/reference/since/events.community4.7.1/)
- **Language** – 8 new strings added, 169 updated, 0 fuzzied, and 2 obsoleted
