Camera-on time as a completion metric — Instructors can now grade the Completion criterion on camera-on time instead of time in session. Camera-on share is calculated against the full session length, so brief appearances don't earn full credit. A camera icon and tooltip in the gradebook and participant views explain the calculation, and changing the setting on a finished assignment re-grades and re-syncs to the connected LMS automatically.
Exhibit previews inside the slide — Exhibits attached to the current slide now appear as draggable thumbnail previews, up to three at a time, so participants don't have to leave the discussion to look at them. The panel collapses to a counter and hides itself on slides without exhibits and during screen sharing.
Chat and speech together in transcripts — In-session chat messages now appear in chronological order alongside spoken dialogue in the instructor transcript view, marked with a "Chat" label.
Streamlined individual assignments — Assignments designed for one participant no longer show group and scheduling steps. The participant journey now runs straight from pre-work to session entry.
Instructions on course materials — Instructional designers can add their own instruction text to course materials, such as "Complete both before the session," shown to participants on the pre-work screen.
Assignment upgrades on a new experience version — Publishing a new version of an experience now detects assignments that haven't started yet and offers to upgrade the ones you choose, keeping their dates and configuration.
Email reminders for LMS-connected sections — Participants in LMS-connected sections receive standard assignment reminder and update emails.
Suggested timers removed from quiz slides — Solo and group quiz slides no longer show a suggested timer, to avoid unnecessary time pressure on self-paced questions. Timers remain available on poll slides.
