Release notes — November 4, 2026

Highlights

• Updated web app styling and browser requirements — We've refreshed the app's styling while keeping its appearance largely unchanged. Breakout now requires Safari 16.4+, Chrome 111+, or Firefox 128+. If pages aren't displaying correctly, please update to a supported browser.

Improvements and fixes

Assignments and grading

• Complete experience previews: Instructors can now preview an entire experience, including the Results slide and Reconvene, when an End-of-Session Quiz is included.
• Consistent score display: Assignments open in multiple browser tabs now display the correct scores after a slide deck is changed. The underlying score data was not affected.
• More flexible assignment settings: Instructors can now switch a started Peer Review assignment to Solo. A confirmation warning explains that Peer Review will be disabled when the change is saved.
• Final grade visibility: Assignments without configured grading weights no longer display a final grade.
• Canvas grade synchronization: Grades synced to Canvas no longer count against an assignment's available submission attempts.
• Gradebook exports: Grade appeal override information is currently excluded from instructor gradebook and participant CSV exports.

Sessions and reliability

• Improved transcription reliability and continuity throughout sessions.
• Improved session moderator stability across different room configurations.

Platform and usability

• Access code and coupon redemption: Tokens and coupons are now limited to a single redemption each, improving consistency in how purchases and access are managed.
• Clearer assignment date guidance: Updated the missing-dates help page with wording that works across LMS platforms. Existing Canvas and D2L Brightspace guidance remains unchanged.
• Consistent results navigation: Completed assignments now display a "View Results" button instead of "View Summary," matching the terminology used in the assignments list.

Accessibility

Continued improvements to keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and dialog interactions across the platform.

• Keyboard navigation: Improved keyboard support for multiselect checkboxes, exhibit viewing controls, and navigation drawers. The Notifications drawer can now be closed using the Escape key.
• Grade appeal accessibility: Keyboard users can now access the grade appeal button and read the explanation when an appeal is unavailable.
• Improved dialog behavior: Closing a dialog now dismisses only the active dialog, preventing multiple dialogs from closing with a single click.
• Simplified keyboard navigation: Reduced unnecessary Tab stops across headings, charts, polls, and rubric cards on the instructor Summary page.
• ZoomText compatibility: Fixed an issue where ZoomText AppReader could stop reading after users clicked inside a dialog.
