🎉 TAO October 2025 Release Highlights! 🎉

Experimental support for test/item attachments

Added experimental support for adding attachments (such as PDFs) to items and tests via the experimental Assets in TAO Portal (previously assets were stored in the Content Bank only). These assets are configured during test authoring and can be accessed by the test-takers during an assessment.

Improved session report charts

Improved value intervals in Session report charts to better differentiate between ranges, making the visual data easier to interpret.

Release Enhancements

TAO Authoring Updates & Fixes

• Experimental Wiris MathType integration for entering math expressions: Added experimental support for integration with Wiris MathType, a tool that helps the authors enter math formulas using the WYSIWYG editor from Wiris. If you are interested in enabling this feature, please contact your Account Manager.

TAO Advance Updates & Fixes

• Bug Fix: The Incomplete tab in the Overview menu now correctly counts all unanswered items, including those not yet seen by the test taker.

TAO Portal Updates & Fixes

• Bug Fix: Fixed the CSV import functionality; scoring and review dates are now optional when importing sessions, allowing CSV files without these fields filled in to upload successfully.

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! 🚀
