> 
> Above, only users belonging Marketing Members group will show and everyone else will not show. This can let you hide contractors and service accounts.

> **Birthdays loading too slow?**
>
> When there are many birthdays in the list, the web part could take minutes to load. To fix this, we’ve added **birthday and month caching**.
> 
> - 🔄 Page admins can refresh the cache anytime with the new **“Refresh Birthdays”** button.
> 
> Enjoy a smoother, faster experience!
