Enhancements

Product	Summary	Release note
Professional Learning	Add Transcript Welcome Banner	Transcript Configuration now includes a rich text editor. This allows administrators to create a customizable welcome message for the transcript page. If configured, users will see a "View Instructions" button next to the Person Information Banner. This button opens a dialog displaying the welcome message.
Professional Learning	Dynamic addition of participants to the section roster	Administrators and authorized users can now dynamically register learners to course rosters. They can use rules based on site, role, or custom fields, eliminating manual searches. This feature enables efficient bulk assignment, auto-enrollment, and audit tracking. Learners are previewed before registration, notifications can be configured.
Professional Learning	Accessibility Improvements for Interactive Controls	Interactive controls, like the "Hide Course" button, lacked a visible keyboard focus indicator, making navigation difficult for keyboard users. We fixed this issue. All interactive elements now display a clear visual focus indicator, improving accessibility for users with visual, physical, or neurological disabilities.
Professional Learning	Updated Contrast for Active User Interface Components	Improved the visibility of focus indicators and interactive elements across key screens by updating color contrast to meet accessibility standards. This accessibility fix ensures users with low vision can more easily identify and navigate important interface components.
Professional Learning	Auto-Retry for Schoology Course Backlogs	A new job automatically retries failed Schoology course creations. This addresses issues from system timeouts and backlogs. The system now checks with Schoology to confirm queued courses, ensuring accurate synchronization and up-to-date course information between the professional learning platform and Schoology.
Professional Learning	Updated PDPlaylist Notification Label	The Notifications tab now clearly states that completion emails are sent to moderators and the PD Playlist creator when a participant finishes the PD Playlist. The user-defined playlist label is used for clarity.
Professional Learning	Added help text to staff groups	The staff groups assignment screen now includes updated help text. This text clarifies how the system adds participants, users, or approvers to groups based on the creator's site rights. The guidance adjusts dynamically to the selected functionality, ensuring users understand participant management, dynamic registration, and exclusion priorities.
Professional Learning	Enhancements to Instructor Integration in Schoology	An integration error prevents some instructors from appearing in Schoology sections. To address this, a new Integration Status column now displays the sync status for each instructor. It includes clear icons and tooltips for failed integrations. The user sync retry mechanism now automatically retries failed instructor syncs. For instructors not integrated, delete and re-add them or wait for an automatic retry.
Professional Learning	Download Scorm Attachment	Super Users can download SCORM zip files directly from the SCORM Edit Screen for any course with an attached file. This feature is available in both Legacy and PDAdmin environments.
Professional Learning	Replace Scorm Attachment	A new permission allows users with course editing rights to replace existing SCORM content files. This permission is granted to super users by default and is currently supported only in PdAdmin. SCORM Canada and legacy systems remain unchanged.
Professional Learning	Enable Requirement for File Attachments in Section Settings for Professional Development Requests	Admins can now require file attachments at the section level for professional development requests. To configure, users with permission can navigate to Configuration > Section Settings > File Attachments. Users must upload at least one file before submitting, approving, or releasing a section.
Professional Learning	Updated bulk email actions to respect applied filters	Bulk email actions in the section roster now respect applied filters. When a filter is used, emails are sent only to filtered members, ensuring targeted communication and preventing messages from reaching unintended recipients.
Professional Learning	Update transcript for locked roster records	Administrators can edit transcript credits for locked sections or roster entries, provided they have the correct permissions. Transcript changes automatically update corresponding roster records, ensuring system consistency. Permission instructions clarify that users with transcript editing rights can update credits for locked records and sections.

Professional Learning	Scroll Bar Visibility Improvement at High Zoom Levels	Resolved inconsistent horizontal scrolling and dual scroll bar issues at high zoom levels across PD admin screens.
