Release notes — April 23, 2026

Highlights

  • Microphone check before joining — Participants can join a session once their microphone has picked up audio. A banner prompts them to speak first, so every participant is heard and included in the transcript.
  • Force-complete a room — When participants leave before the end-of-session slide, instructors can grade the room with "Force Complete" in the group management dialog. The option appears once a room has been inactive for 60 minutes and asks for confirmation.
  • Groups and schedules kept on assignment upgrades — Upgrading an assignment to a newer version of its experience keeps group membership and scheduled session times, as long as no session has started.
  • Faster session scheduling — When scheduling a session, the date picker now pre-fills the next available time.
  • More context in AI Insights — Improved AI Insights to give instructors more useful context on student participation and learning activity, with a new shortcut from the Student Details view.

Improvements and fixes

  • A redesigned Join / Rejoin Session dialog.
  • Editing a custom section pass price now saves correctly when you press Enter.
  • When the "Unassigned Only" filter returns no results, the empty state now offers a link to turn the filter off.
  • The slide types "Session Processing (Retired)" and "Session Results (Retired)" are now named "Session Processing (For Demos Only)" and "Session Results (For Demos Only)".
