Professional Learning	Enhanced Accessibility Compliance for Professional Learning Application	This release improved accessibility across several application pages by enhancing compliance with WCAG 4.1.2 (Name Role Value) guidelines. This ensures that user interface components have accessible names, roles, and values that can be programmatically identified and that notifications of changes are available to assistive technologies. These updates aim to provide all users with a more seamless and inclusive experience. Additional accessibility enhancements are planned for future releases.
Professional Learning	Enable Course Withdrawal and Re-enrollment in Premium Library	Admins can now enable or disable withdrawal permissions for premium library courses by configuring the system through the Professional Learning menu. This update includes a new tab for updating premium library settings and a configuration option for enabling or disabling withdrawals. To enable this configuration, users with permissions can navigate to Configuration → Premium Library Settings → Settings → Allow withdrawal from Premium Library courses. Note: When a user withdraws from a Premium Library course, they will be removed from the roster on the professional learning side, and the withdrawal may not be reflected on the third-party side. Any payments and seats purchased will not be refunded.

To make updates, users with editing permissions can navigate to Account → Transcript and click the pencil icon next to a transcript entry. A pop-up window for editing the transcript allows you to change the credit area, value type, and the amount that should be reflected for the learner.
Professional Learning	Improved: User Permissions in Ad Hoc Reporting	Users with new management permissions can now oversee courses and sections in Adhoc Report Restricted. For instance, if a user has the manage_attendance permission for a specific office and the Adhoc Report Restricted permission for any office, they can view courses and sections at their designated office. Updated the Adhoc Restricted Role description to clarify that users with this permission can access Adhoc reporting but are limited to querying objects and users within their assigned office.

Fixed Issues

Product Area	Summary	Release Note
Professional Learning	Fixed: Participants hidden in PD Playlists	Addressed a problem where managers could not see participants when the hide participant list feature is enabled for a playlist. The expected behavior is for participant managers and moderators to be able to view participants regardless of the checkbox status.
Professional Learning	Fixed: Participant Manager Permissions in PD Playlists	Resolved an issue where participant managers faced an error when clicking the course tab in the playlist. The expected behavior is for the courses tab to load and show the courses in read-only mode.
Professional Learning	Fixed: Formatting Issues in Course Catalog Descriptions	Resolved an issue where the wording of the Course Description was not displaying correctly in the catalog. Changes made to the Course Description, such as altering the size and color of the text, were not accurately reflected in the catalog. The issue has been fixed to ensure that the Course Description transfers correctly to the catalog, including the appropriate formatting and appearance of the text.
Professional Learning	Resolved: Configuration Problem with Survey Deactivation	Resolved an issue where the "Deactivate Survey After This Many Days" field was read-only. This problem occurred when using surveys to attach a Section Survey to a section and have a roster member complete the survey. Upon returning to manage the section, the survey drop-down remained read-only and disabled, preventing any changes. The expected behavior is that users should be able to input information into the "Deactivate Survey After This Many Days" field.
Professional Learning	Resolved: Issue Adding Staff Groups to Playlists	Resolved an issue where users in the Staff group for the PD Playlist were not being added to the playlist. To verify, administrators or users with access to the playlist can navigate to the playlist, then Participants, followed by Add/Modify Participants, Dynamic Rule(s), and Add Staff Group.
Professional Learning	Updated Course Survey reminder email	Updated the course survey reminder email in the new Professional Learning to exclude users with Denied status from being recipients.
Professional Learning	Resolved: Payment transaction process	Updated the payment transaction process to display a slider for selecting the payment processor instead of a dropdown menu. The slider now sets the value based on the legacy configuration point known as the Payment Processor Configuration field. If the Activate Default Payment Processor slider is enabled, the system will search for the first payment processor of type "com.tnl.payment.processors.GenericPaymentPP" and store the associated database ID. If the Generic Payment Processor cannot be located, an error message will appear, prompting the user to contact support for assistance.
