For students, when they open a discussion they find two clear participation requirements with separate due dates. As they post and reply, progress indicators update in real time.
Students can complete requirements in any order, but contributions after a due date won’t count toward that requirement. Once all requirements are met, the discussion is marked complete and Progress Tracking updates.

When grading anonymous test submissions in Question View, the interface replaces the student name, avatar, and ID with an anonymous identifier and a blank avatar. All functionality available when grading non‑anonymous submissions by question is also available when grading anonymously. When anonymous grading is enabled, related APIs no longer return identifying information.
Known Issues
In an effort to improve the efficiency of information while still maintaining transparency with the community, our Known Issues page has had an update. The more user-friendly layout will aim to inform users of current known issues firstly, laid out consisting of a concise descripion, a workaround (if there is one), as well as the issue’s status. Below that users can then find recently resolved issues, following the same layout as previously mentioned in the current ones.
