Image Resize and Alignment in QuestionsReview Queue for Paper GradingFewer Manual Reviews for Scanned QuizzesStudent Quiz Status Fixed

Image Resize and Alignment in Questions

Images in the question editor can now be resized and aligned. Drag the corner handles to scale an image, or choose from small, medium, and full-width presets. Left, center, and right alignment options are available inline. Alt text can be added or edited at any time.

Review Queue for Paper Grading

A new Queue tab in the grading workspace collects all responses that need review across every question into one list. The queue opens automatically when flagged items are present and shows a running count. You can work through outstanding reviews without manually switching between questions. Once the queue is clear, a single button submits grades for the whole class.

Fewer Manual Reviews for Scanned Quizzes

When processing scanned answer sheets, the system previously flagged responses for manual review even when one bubble was clearly dominant. These are now accepted automatically. Responses that the system resolves with high confidence are also cleared from the review queue without requiring action. Both changes reduce the number of responses needing manual attention per quiz.

Student Quiz Status Fixed

A bug caused some students to see "Start Quiz" after they had already begun an attempt. Their responses were preserved, but the page showed the wrong status. This is now fixed. A related fix ensures responses submitted on the final question are always recorded.

Unified Paper Quiz GradingGrade Paper Exams by QuestionGrade Overrides Shown in Gradebook

Unified Paper Quiz Grading

Paper quiz grading is now consolidated into a single Grading tab with two sequential stages: review multiple choice answers first, then grade written answers. A progress bar tracks completion for each stage. You can delete individual submissions from the queue or finalize grades one student at a time, without waiting to process the whole class.

Grade Paper Exams by Question

A new view in the grading workspace lets you work through all students' responses to one question before moving to the next, rather than grading each student's full exam in turn. Keyboard shortcuts let you navigate between students, select multiple choice answers, and save written answer grades without using the mouse.

Grade Overrides Shown in Gradebook

When a student's grade has been manually overridden, this is now indicated in the gradebook and in the quiz grading view. Previously, adjusted scores were not visibly distinguished from calculated grades.
