Release notes — September 9, 2026

Highlights

• Clearer session results status — Participants now see a live status for their session results: not started, in progress, processing, or ready. Results and metrics appear automatically as soon as processing finishes, with no need to refresh.
• "Dialog" experience type renamed to "Custom" — The experience type formerly called Dialog is now called Custom. Behaviour and existing content are unchanged.

Grading

• Completion lateness is now measured from when a session finishes rather than when it starts, so Breakout matches the submission timestamp in your LMS and respects individual deadline extensions.
• New assignments now store their own copy of score mappings, so later changes to an instructor's defaults no longer affect assignments that already exist.
• Fixed grading defaults, including score mappings and final-score visibility, not carrying over correctly when setting up a draft assignment.
• Fixed customizable grading settings being lost when swapping between decks that share the same rubric.
• Fixed the final-grade tooltip showing incorrect information when Camera On Time was used as a grading criterion.
• Fixed teaching assistants being unable to update grading configuration, score mappings, rubric weights, and completion settings on an instructor's behalf. Saving those as section defaults remains limited to the instructor.

Improvements and fixes

• Scheduling reminder emails are now sent only for assignments where participants can actually set or change their meeting time.
• Improved the reliability of live transcription, including automatic recovery and transcript repair if the speech service is interrupted mid-session.
• Improved audio and video resilience: participants can continue with working audio when a camera fails to start, and a microphone no longer appears muted after a solo quiz while speech is still being captured.
• Fixed participants waiting to reconvene being sent back to the processing screen when someone else refreshed or rejoined.
• Fixed long participant names overflowing the mute confirmation dialog in the session room.
• Fixed an insights search that could stay stuck on "Preparing assignment for search".
• Fixed a page-loading loop on the assignment page that could slow the browser down.

Accessibility

• Documented our conformance for the WCAG criteria we currently partially support, as a companion to our accessibility conformance report.

Security

• Strengthened our Content Security Policy by removing inline JavaScript and general eval permissions.
