🎉 TAO July 2025 Release Highlights! 🎉

Deliveries management in TAO Portal

The new Deliveries tab in TAO Portal provides an easy way for test administrators to manage all published deliveries without needing to go to the Content Bank.

Session reset

Proctors can now reset an ongoing session for any test-taker, allowing them to restart the session from scratch. This action also resets any responses or scores previously recorded for the session.

Scoring progress

Scorers can now see a graphical representation of the progress of the manual scoring process in the Session Overview page.

Release Enhancements

TAO Authoring Updates & Fixes

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where tests could be previewed by users without proper permissions, enhancing security and access control.

TAO Advance Updates & Fixes

Bug Fix: Resolved an issue where the test runner did not always enforce fullscreen mode when the taskbar (Windows) or shelf (Chromebook) was set to auto-hide. The test runner now correctly prompts and applies fullscreen mode in all scenarios (TAO Core only).
Bug Fix: Fixed a layout issue with tables within items (specifically when tables included images defined with responsive widths). In some cases when the screen width was too small, the images were not visible anymore. Now images cannot shrink under a certain threshold width.

TAO Portal Updates & Fixes

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that caused some test review attempts to fail (for sessions using batteries with random deliveries).
Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that was causing users to see groups they didn't have access to when choosing groups for the "Group Performance" report.

These updates aim to enhance usability, efficiency, and the overall TAO platform experience. We welcome your feedback and remain committed to continuous improvement. Thank you for your support! 🚀
