Multi-page handwritten responses and automatic enrolment¶
A handwritten answer that runs over several printed pages now comes back as one complete response, eligible test-takers can be enrolled without a manual import, and Quick Marking gains draft saving and faster loading on large assessments.
Deliver New
Extended responses across multiple printed pages — the number of writing lines on a paper answer sheet now follows the line count the author set on the item, and a longer answer flows onto as many continuation pages as it needs. Each page carries a QR code holding the item numbers on that page, the test-taker's name and a page number, so pages can be matched back to the right item. When the sheets are scanned, the pages belonging to one extended response are detected and stitched together in page order with line breaks preserved, so the on-screen text matches the handwritten original and reaches the marker as one complete answer.
Deliver Improvements
- Eligible test-takers are now enrolled automatically into the correct single enrolment based on their year and curriculum, so the daily manual group-membership import is no longer needed and enrolments flow through whenever test-taker data is uploaded. This also removes a fault that could create duplicate enrolments. The new behaviour is opt-in through the existing advanced-filtering setting on the assessment event, so tenants that don't enable it are unaffected.
- Printed question sheets now render every part of an item. Stimuli, distractors and images appear on the paper output as they do in the test player.
- The Candidate Dashboard supports Reliable Delivery for sessionless tests, directing test-takers through the right one-time-code authentication flow while leaving the flow for session-based tests unchanged.
- Test Paper Upload Issues now shows the whole organisation's issues, not only those from data you uploaded yourself. Super administrators see issues across all organisations.
- Enrolling individual test-takers into an assessment event on a very large tenant no longer waits on a slow test-taker list.
Author Improvements
- Partial answers now count as answered on gap match items. The Allow partial match on some item types to be marked as answered setting in Test Designer covers Gap Match Interaction and Graphic Gap Match Interaction, so a test-taker who fills some of the gaps is recorded as answered in the Progress Summary.
Mark Improvements
- Markers can save an edited response as a draft from the Reviewed tab without submitting it, so a second marker can check the change before it's final
- Quick Marking loads faster on assessments with large answer volumes, with query optimisations on the Pending Review, Reviewed and Submitted tabs
- A scanned response that has since been excluded from review now says Answer is not available for review, in place of the low-confidence warning it used to show
Platform Improvements
- Expired login links now say so. Signing in from a login link that has already been used or has expired — a bookmarked login page, for example — reports that the link is no longer valid instead of an incorrect username or password.
Deliver Bug fixes
- Fixed: instruction text from an answer sheet could be attached to the first item when a scan was processed. The recovery logic that corrects a misread item number (an "O6" read as "Q6") was being triggered by content sitting above the instructions.
Author Bug fixes
- Fixed: on a Gap Match Interaction item using per-distractor scoring, a gap with more than one valid correct answer was flagged as incorrect even when the test-taker chose a valid answer and scored full marks. The Current answer is correct indicator now reflects the response.
People Bug fixes
- Fixed: on tenants using Azure AD B2C, importing test-takers failed with a Microsoft Graph API error when several new test-takers shared a username. The import now completes, using the latest row to update the record and counting one duplicate row as a new record.
Mark Bug fixes
- Fixed: searching the Review Scanned Responses list by a test-taker's full name returned no results, although searching by first name or surname alone worked
- Fixed: the Review History entry for an edited response recorded who changed it and when, but not what changed. It now captures the response text before and after the edit.
- Fixed: the Selected response count above the Quick Marking grid accumulated across pages instead of resetting when the pagination changed
Proctortrack Bug fixes
- Fixed: a Proctortrack relaunch signed the test-taker in again through a one-time-code login in the same browser, which closed their still-active exam and dropped them out with "Communication with the test server has been lost" followed by "Your session has expired or has been closed by the test administrator". A verified relaunch for the same test-taker now resumes the existing session, so they return to their attempt with their answers and timer intact.

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 is Events API v11 (February 2026), which exposes student break data to integrated systems — BreakTimeUsed and StartBreakTime on the /attempts endpoints and in the related customisable reports, and the break configuration properties on the /pnp endpoints.
See API framework for the Swagger references and how to authenticate.
