Release Notes

Approving work without a note no longer leaves an empty box in the review history. The approval now shows as a single line.

The review history now shows what happened, in order. When you sent work back twice and then approved it, every note used to read "Approved by" once the work was approved. Each note now keeps its own label, and an approval with no note gets its own line, so the history reads sent back, sent back, approved. Photos also no longer show "Still optimizing this video" in the review panel.

The Approve and Send back buttons in the review panel are no longer covered by the Ask NavEd and Feedback buttons. The panel now opens on top of them, on both the turned-in page and the Lessons teaching dashboard.

Students no longer see a "Turn in your work" box on work their teacher already approved. The box used to stay on the page after approval, and sending something through it would only show an error. Approved work now shows its status and your teacher's notes, with nothing left to upload.

The paper-plane icon in the gradebook now opens the work a student turned in. Clicking it used to just select the score in that cell. Now it takes you straight to the turned-in page for that student. If you have unsaved score changes, you still get the usual warning first, so nothing is lost. The icon also no longer shows up in cells where that student has not turned anything in, and Cmd/Ctrl-click or Shift-click on it opens a new tab or window as usual.

The old Applications page is gone for schools that never used it. If your school has never filed an application through the old Applications page, it no longer appears in the sidebar, and old links to it now take you to Forms. Applications live in Forms: build an enrollment form from a template, share the link, and review what families send. Schools that already have applications on the old page keep it exactly as it was.

Public pages no longer slide sideways on small phones. The top bar on pages like the free form templates was a few pixels wider than a phone screen, so the page moved left and right. It now fits.

Clicking Connect Stripe twice no longer shows an error. If you click the button a second time while Stripe is still opening, you now land on the same Stripe setup page instead of an error, and only one Stripe account is created for your school. If your school is partway through Stripe setup, Connect Stripe takes you back to where you left off.

Lesson pages on phones no longer slide sideways. When a step has written answers turned off, the page used to be wider than the screen; it now fits.

Review Lessons keeps naming students who have not turned in a step. Once someone in the class has turned in a step in a published unit whose week has started, that step stays under Work by step with the names of the students who have not turned it in yet, even after you have reviewed all the waiting work.

Photos of paper work turn in again. When a step takes papers and the
teacher listed JPG or another photo format, or listed no formats at all,
students can turn in a photo of their work there again, one page or several. When a file can't be turned in,
the message now says what the step takes, for example "This step takes a PDF
or JPG."

Progress Reports, and a comment on every report. On Reports, a report
card can now print with the title Progress Report instead of Report Card,
and a school can save which title starts picked. Any of a student's
teachers, or an admin, can write one general comment for each quarter. It
saves as you type and prints in a Comments box under the grades, with the
teacher's name and the date. The quarters you pick on Reports now decide
which quarter columns print, so a one-quarter report no longer shows the
other quarters. A default print also no longer shows empty dash columns for quarters
that have not started. A Progress Report leaves out the Midterm, Final
and Final Grade columns, and every report
now shows which quarters it covers next to the session year. On the Comments
step, picking students to print lists only those students. Teachers see
a plain line that their admin prints reports, instead of an empty student list.

See who hasn't turned in a step yet. Review Lessons now groups waiting work by
step. Under each step, a short line lists the students in the class who have not
turned it in yet, and each name opens that unit's class grid. Students who were not
given the step are left out.

Saving the gradebook no longer fails when an assignment was deleted. If an
assignment is deleted while grades for it are still waiting to be saved, the
gradebook now saves every other grade and tells you which ones were not saved
and why. Those cells stay marked as unsaved so nothing you typed disappears.
Refresh the page to see the current gradebook.

Lessons shows how far along each class is. Students and families see
"3 of 8 steps" and a thin bar on every unit, a percent for the whole class,
and the next step to open. Teachers see a percent at the end of each
student's row in the progress grid, and a line on the home page for how
many students have finished the current unit. Admins see each class's
average on the subject list.

Graduation requirements and a path to graduation. Schools can list
their own graduation requirement areas and credits and tag courses to
them. Students and families can see credits earned and in progress toward
each area. A printable Course and Credit Report sits next to the report card
in Reports. Free on every plan.

Behavior entries on the student profile. Write down what happened, what
you did, and when you reached the family, attach a file, and send it to an
admin to follow up. Share an entry with the family when you choose. Free on
every plan.
