Release Notes: Release 45

Target release date: November 29th, 2026

Please note: In the interest of informing our customers as early as possible of any platform changes, we are sharing these release notes in advance of the software release. The final updates, including the target release date, may vary and will be documented accordingly.

Authoring

Remove First Steps message when reviewing items
The First Steps pop-up no longer appears when a reviewer starts an item review. The rest of the item review flow remains unchanged.

BI & Reporting

Default Item-Total correlation column to on
The Item-Total Correlation checkbox in the Item Analysis Report download options is now selected by default, so the column is included in downloads. It can still be deselected before downloading.

Blueprint

Blueprint Settings: URL-addressable tabs and independent per-tab save
Each tab in Blueprint Settings now has its own URL, so tabs can be bookmarked, shared, and used with the browser Back and Forward buttons. The Back and Next buttons have been removed, and each tab with saveable data now has its own Save action. A warning appears if a user leaves a tab with unsaved changes.

Delivery

Associate answer option groups with exam questions
Radio button and checkbox answer options in exams are now grouped with their question, so screen readers announce the question when a candidate moves into the options. Each option also has its own label. This applies to single-select and multiple-select questions.

Fix skip link to bypass repeated exam content
The “Skip to content” link in the exam session now moves keyboard focus directly to the start of the main exam content. The next Tab press lands on the first interactive element in the exam content. This works on every exam question page.

Rename AI Proctored secure browser delivery fee label
The delivery fee setting in Delivery Fees Configuration (Beta) is now labeled “AI Assisted Proctoring - Secure Browser” instead of “AI Proctored - Secure Browser”. Existing fee values and saved configurations are unchanged.

Item Management

Edit item authoring and delivery status from compare screen
The Items Comparison modal now includes Authoring status and Delivery status dropdowns for both the Original and Enemy item. Changes save immediately, appear on each item’s Summary tab, and are confirmed by a snackbar message without closing the modal. The available status values and permissions are the same as before.

Remote Proctoring

Update warning and termination screens to include incident descriptions
The warning and termination screens shown to candidates during proctored exams now display the incident description below the incident title. For example, a “Hats” incident now explains that a hat or head covering obstructed monitoring without prior approval. The incident name and description are shown in a larger font for readability. No changes are required from proctors.

Store Exam

Move add action buttons to top-right corner
The “Add Session” button on the Sessions tab of Test Center & Events Portal > Test Centers and the “Add Custom Demographics Fields” button on the Custom Demographics Fields tab of Store Exam configuration have been moved to the top-right corner of their pages. This matches the placement of other action buttons across the platform. Button functionality and styling remain unchanged.

Hide credit card option when promo code balance due is zero
When a promo code brings the balance due to $0.00 in the booking flow, the credit card payment option is now hidden, and the message “Promo code applied successfully! No payment is required.” is displayed. The credit card option remains visible when a balance is still due, including after a partial discount, and reappears if the promo code is removed.

Voucher & Promo Code

Add redeemed-by email column to voucher purchase details
The Voucher Purchase Details report now includes a “Redeemed By (Email)” column, positioned between “Used By” and “Used Date”. It shows the email associated with the candidate at the time of redemption and is blank for unused vouchers. The column is sortable, filterable, and included in report exports.
