Overview

This document may change as the release approaches.

We have a special release that specifically addresses some critical bugs so you don't have to wait until the next release to see the fixes.

A huge shout out to our DesignPLUS Developers that worked so quickly and diligently to fix these issues and to our Support Team who was able to communicate the urgent, high priority issues you were experiencing. Thank YOU for reaching out to our Support Team so that we can better serve you.

And now, the bug fixes...

Bug Fixes

Account Settings

We fixed a rare issue to ensure the Account Settings tool will always load.

Icon Picker

We've put this one through the ringer! Not even Santa double checks items like we did.

The Icon Picker tool will now pop up no matter which tool you are trying to pull it up in!

Sidebar Updates

Panels Collapse / Expand Properly

We fixed an issue where Sidebar panels would not remain open when making changes or changing between tools. When you choose to collapse or expand panels, they will now do as they're told.

Sidebar Closes Properly

Ever canceled a page creation after selection +Page and the Sidebar stayed open? Us too! We've adjusted the logic so upon canceling a new page, the Sidebar will automatically close and reopen the next time you select +Page.

Don't worry, we also adjusted this on the Syllabus page so when we select Cancel or Save, your Sidebar closes and then opens again when you select Edit.

Sidebar Opens Properly

This one is another rare one for a few very unlucky users that were not able to load the Add tab. Good news! We fixed it, so you can create to your heart's content now!

Progress Bars & Indicators

Activity Names

We addressed an issue where Progress Bars were not loading on Pages with special characters in their name.

Discussions Visibility

We've fixed the issue that prevented Progress Bars from rendering on Discussions when the Discussions/Announcements Redesign feature option was enabled. You should always see your Progress Bars and Indicators, now.

Module Detection

There was an error where some Progress Indicators were not detecting that the content was added to a Module; we updated this so that if your content is in a Module, the Progress Indicators will display, and if your content is outside of a Module, you will see a warning that the Progress Indicator will not display until it is added to a Module.

Style Editor & Panel

Goodbye Style Editor spin-wheel of death! This update includes additional data validation checks to ensure that only valid `userStyles` get added to the `newUserStyles` array to prevent the Sidebar crashing and giving you the endless loading symbol.

Similarly, some users experienced this endless loading in the Image tool's Style Panel, so we've made adjustments to keep this panel from freezing.
