Release Candidate (RC) Environment Updates

In this article, we will walk you through the latest updates introduced to the platform in our (RC) environment. These enhancements are available for testing before they go live, ensuring a seamless experience for our users.

The release target for all feature enhancements on this page is April 1st.

Action Buttons: Always Visible

We've moved the action buttons (Save, Save & Close, Cancel) to the top of the interface as a sticky header. This means no more scrolling to the bottom of the page to perform essential actions—everything is within easy reach at all times.

Default Component View

Previously, the default component was the Information Tab. Now, the Tags Component is the default across all item types, streamlining item categorization.

Question Editor Upgrades

We’re rolling out improvements to selected item types first, with plans to expand them across more item types in future updates.

We've refined the question editor panel for the following item types:
  • Multiple Choice Question
  • Multiple Response
  • Either/Or
  • Essay

New Preview Option

A new preview button allows users to seamlessly switch between edit and preview modes within the same module. This makes it quicker to view an item from the candidate’s perspective, enabling efficient refinements and edits.

Updated UI for Alternatives

To optimize screen space, the CK Editor for alternatives now only appears when highlighting the input box. This cleaner interface provides more working area without unnecessary clutter.

Option Tab Removal

The Options Tab for the listed items has been removed, and its configurations have been relocated to the Question Tab for easier access. These configurations include:

  • Add labels
  • Randomize order
  • Fixed position
  • Timed question option
  • Feedback settings
  • Audio settings
  • Polytomous/Dichotomous (multiple response items)
  • Allowed selection (Multiple response items)

CKEditor is a rich text editor that allows users to create and edit formatted text within web applications. Users can style text, insert images, tables, and other elements

The CK Editor has been updated across the platform, including candidate delivery. We encourage you to include it in your testing, ensuring it functions as expected in both item types and the candidate delivery input fields

These updates are designed to enhance efficiency, usability, and consistency across the Cirrus platform. As always, we appreciate your feedback as you test these improvements in the RC environment. Happy testing!
