August 1 to August 5, 2022 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

Increased the allowable data storage amount in email signatures to a whopping 65,535 bytes, which will let y'all copy-paste some truly elaborate HTML email signatures in that setting.

Bugfixes

Speaking of HTML stuff, if you added a custom email template to an application's Initial Email setting, when sent to an applicant, the paragraph breaks in the email were hyuuuuge. We ensmallened those.

In a bug introduced about a week ago, we took away the ability for faculty, academic admins, and registrars to edit or delete course discussion comments. In a fix introduced about a week ago, we smashed that bug.

The due date calendar selector on the Course > Assignments view did not respect custom student access dates until we taught it some manners.

Videos

First up we have some upcoming Focus Sessions:

• Introduction to Admissions will cover some basics about setting up your application, managing leads, using your funnel report, and so on. This will be most useful to Admissions and Admissions Admin users. It's scheduled for August 9th, 2022, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
• Introduction to running courses will cover some basics about course settings, lessons, assignments, discussions, grading, and so on. This will be most useful to Academic Admin, Faculty, and Teaching Assistant users. It's scheduled for August 11th, 2022, 11:00 AM Pacific time.

Gather 'round as Josh puts the "fun" in Funnel Report with this video (actually, the developers put the "fun" in that report; Josh is only identifying said fun).
