In this update, we're addressing frequent logouts based on your feedback. While these logouts may seem like an issue they're a new security feature required by some institutions. We're making a temporary change that allows for longer sessions.
Please be aware that institutions requiring IL4 certification will have a default 25-minute session timeout in the future, which we can't alter. We appreciate your patience as we work towards a solution that meets everyone's needs for a smoother experience
New Features:
• Institutions can now manage message availability. Users will see improvements in Messages, making it easier to spot new/unread messages.
• On the grades landing page, users can view overall course grades.
• When an admin specifies an inactive session duration, the app doesn't auto-renew. Users receive notifications prior to logout. This adjustmentensures compliance with security certification and is configured by the institution.
In this patch release, the issue related to the SSO link not reading SSO session after logging into the mobile app has been resolved. Clients experiencing this problem will now find that the LTI link correctly reads the SSO session and no longer prompts for additional logins on the mobile app, aligning with the expected behavior seen on web browsers.
We hope this update will provide better support and we are sorry for the inconvenience these issues have caused our users.
New Features:
-Receive warnings before forced re-authentication or concurrent session logouts when required by your institution
-New Course status indicators
-New label for unavailable messages when switched off by institution/instructor

-Grades order now matches your preferred order in the desktop browser
-Fixed inaccessible content collection and navigation issue
