A changelog entry is now created whenever org-wide sharing settings are updated, making it easier to track changes and maintain clarity in shared access.

Teachers on the Balanced Assessment Suite can provide a Translations accommodations to students at the global level, setting up the accommodation once and have it applied thereafter for every formative on which the Translator learning tool is enabled by the teacher. Learn more here!

Students can now zoom in on functionalized images within Drawing / Show Your Work whiteboards, improving accessibility and precision when interacting with visual elements.
