Surveys and exit sections that reach every test-taker¶
Post-test surveys and exit sections now appear after every branching pathway, and a results summary can no longer hide them. Quick Marking explains what happened when two markers act on one response, and newer pages gain the language selector.
Deliver Improvements
- The incident type reference describes every type. New descriptions cover Personal Needs and Preferences and the new Operational type, and Environmental gives clearer guidance. The Incident Type Reference appears when you create or view an incident report.
- Test-takers can no longer paste images into an extended response in the Detailed Rich Text Editor. A pasted image showed for the test-taker but not in the attempt's details or marking pages, so markers missed it. Text and tables pasted from applications such as Excel still work.
Author Improvements
- Survey sections can move between the pre-test and post-test areas of a test. The page also scrolls while you drag a section, so tests with many sections are easier to rearrange.
- A results summary can no longer hide exit sections. Test-takers never saw exit sections or post-test surveys on a test that also had a results summary turned on. You now can't add them while a results summary is on. When a test already has them, Results Summary Configuration offers only Disabled, with a message explaining why. To correct a test already in this state, set its results summary to Disabled.
Mark Improvements
- Out-of-tolerance emails open the seed script. When a marker's seed script score falls outside the quality monitoring tolerance, the chief marker's email now links straight to that seed script. Previously it opened a general page of the marker's scores.
- Mark submitted attempts shows how many answers go to the AI marker on assessment events that use AI co-marking. The confirmation message gives the count before you continue. With no eligible answers, or AI marking off for the event, the confirmation is unchanged.
Platform Improvements
- ZIP files with an invalid structure are rejected on import. The import stops with "The zip file could not be imported because it contains a file with an invalid path." This covers resource sets, trackable documents, bulk data, QTI offsite packages, and secure and scheduled modules. Valid ZIP files import as before.
- The language selector now appears on newer pages such as the candidate dashboard, in the footer as on the rest of the platform. It lists the languages enabled for the site, keeps your choice between pages, and is hidden when only one language is enabled.
- Sign-in can match users from external identity providers to their organisation unit where the provider doesn't supply one. Insights looks it up from the username or email address, through a service only Janison's own systems can use.
Deliver Bug fixes
- Fixed: post-test sections such as surveys never appeared after a branching test, which submitted as soon as the last branching section was done. Surveys and exit sections now appear whichever pathway the test-taker took, and survey responses save against the attempt. This covers online and offline delivery and preview.
- Fixed: in branching tests with the progress summary off, selecting No, I want to check my answers. at the end of a section did nothing. Test-takers now return to the section they just finished. The section locking messages work the same way, by mouse or keyboard.
Author Bug fixes
- Fixed: a branching test section that shared items with a section on another pathway couldn't be saved. An item can now appear in several sections, but only once on any one pathway, and the message names any item that breaks this. Other test types still allow each item once per test.
People Bug fixes
- Fixed: resetting a user's password recorded Change Password in their Recent Activities. The entry now reads Password reset by, followed by the name of the person who reset it.
Mark Bug fixes
- Fixed: the Quick Marking Modified indicator could appear on an unchanged response after a marker changed the previous one and moved on. It now shows only where marks have actually changed.
- Fixed: when markers acted on the same response from the View Response page at once, they saw unclear errors and could be stuck in a loop. Now a message explains why the action wasn't saved. You can refresh, return to the grid, or discard your changes and go to the next response.
- Fixed: with a response open in 2 places, submitting from the out-of-date view overwrote newer scores or feedback, which then couldn't be corrected. Submitting from an out-of-date view is now refused with an explanation, and you can refresh to see the latest scores.
Proctortrack Bug fixes
- Fixed: a proctored event could keep trying to sync a test-taker or invigilator whose record lacked a given name, surname or email address. Insights now skips these records, and stops after 5 tries when Proctortrack rejects a record for another reason. The warning on Assessment Event Details now tells you to correct the listed details, then select Edit and Save in the proctored event settings.
Older releases¶
API release notes¶
The APIs are versioned and released separately from the platform, so they have their own notes. Update your environments to the newest API version available to pick up the latest features.
The most recent are Events API v12 and Users API v5 (October 2026). Events API v12 returns the test time a test-taker actually used, in seconds, with break time as a separate value, adds the Operational incident type, and fixes an error when listing test attempts. Users API v5 exposes the CEIDER Number and Class Name custom attributes on the user endpoints.
See API framework for the Swagger references and how to authenticate.
