    • Resolved an issue affecting font size

  • Fixed an issue that had prevented some searches from generating results

  • Identified the cause of an issue affecting user-created course templates created in March and April of 2021

  • Eliminated an issue that had resulted in some lessons displaying without an answer sheet or pdf viewer on the student side

  • Eliminated an issue that under certain circumstances had prevented some users from being able to reopen certain lessons.

    • This issue only affected lessons that (1) only had a single section (i.e., not a lesson with a challenge + practice sections) that (2) the student had previously opened and closed. 

  • Fixed an issue that caused some location managers (instructors with management permissions enabled) to receive a message telling them that they didn't have permission to archive or deactivate accounts

  • Fixed minor issues with an unresponsive menu icon on the instructor's class members view

  • Fixed a rounding issue with class test averages
