Individual deadlines — Instructors can set a custom deadline for an individual participant from the edit assignment dates dialog, and the change syncs to the connected LMS.
Finish the end-of-session quiz after leaving early — Participants who leave a session before the end now have up to 30 minutes to complete the end-of-session quiz, from a new action on the assignment overview and details pages.
Rejoin the group when results are shown — Participants are now separated only during the quiz or peer review, then automatically rejoin with full audio, video, and chat once results are displayed.
Free access window for a section — Sections where participants pay can now offer a configurable free access period, letting participants start coursework before payment is required.
Peer review reminder email — Participants with an outstanding peer review now receive a reminder 24 hours after the session, provided the deadline hasn't passed.
Starter catalog for new instructors — New instructor accounts now start with the Breakout Originals catalog instead of an empty one.
