Notes: November 21th Release

API key handling for connectors was updated to enhance security. Keys are now encrypted in storage, masked in the UI (showing only the last four characters), and can no longer be retrieved once saved. Administrators can replace an API key when needed, but the full value is never exposed in the Admin Portal.

The “Show Deleted Topics” toggle was updated to behave correctly based on blueprint status. The toggle is now hidden for Published blueprints, visible in Draft, and functions properly when transitioning between statuses. This update prevents confusion and ensures deleted topics display only when appropriate.

 

The Candidate Results Report was updated to include a new Proctoring Results column, showing Major Incident, Minor Incident, or Clean based on the most severe session incident. Two additional numeric columns, Major and Minor, were added (hidden by default and filterable) to display the count of incidents per session. 

 

A new Max Redemptions Per Candidate setting was added to promo codes, allowing admins to limit how many times an individual candidate can use a code. The field is numeric, optional (blank defaults to unlimited), and tracked by email address. This update works alongside existing total redemption limits, applies during booking, and displays an error if a candidate exceeds their personal limit. Cancellations free up redemptions, while rescheduling or expired reservations maintain the count.

 

Paused and Warning screens were updated to correct minor punctuation and capitalization issues, ensuring consistent style and formatting.

 

A new “Request a Feature” option was added to the feedback menu, providing users with a direct way to submit feature requests. Selecting the option opens the designated Jira Service Desk link in a new tab, enabling easy submission and review of suggestions.

 

Column preferences across the platform were updated to persist at the organization level. Users will now see columns remain in the order and visibility they last configured, including any typically hidden columns they chose to enable. A “Reset” button was added to restore the default column view. This enhancement applies to all column-based areas across the Admin, Expert, Results Management, Support, and Promo Code portals.

 

The rich text editor was updated to remain hidden by default and now appears only when a user clicks into a text entry field. This change declutters the interface while preserving full editing functionality, consistent behavior across browsers and devices, and compatibility with mobile and accessibility requirements.
