Changelog

What's New?

A collection of new features we've just launched in Lessonspace!

14 Aug 2024
New Overview Page

We've released a more refined overview page to general access. The new view includes a simplified set of charts of your account's session data, the latest changelog posts (like this one!) so you can keep up to date on what's new at Lessonspace, some suggested things to do to get the most out of your Lessonspace account, and a little billing summary showing your next invoice and current storage capacity.

More improvements to the page will be coming soon. If you still need to access the old overview page for whatever reason, you can get to it via the link at the bottom of the new overview. We'll be sunsetting the old overview in a few months.

Optimised PDF imports

Importing a PDF into a Space is now much faster thanks to numerous performance improvements. Large files in particular are handled much better by the upload interface and you can now select pages to import before the entire document has been converted thanks to asynchronous processing.

Improved profanity filtering

We've made some upgrades to our profanity filter to make it more effective at catching profanity across the in-Space experience.

As always you can enable the profanity filter for students, teachers, and/or admins from the Spaces tab under Settings on your Lessonspace dashboard.

Toggle whiteboard viewports

Whiteboard viewports are a great way to make sure that everyone in the Space can see the same portion of the board as you, but sometimes they can become a bit distracting. This small quality-of-life improvement will let you switch off viewports, much like you can toggle cursors and their nameplates on and off.
