View attachments
The Grade Editor is receiving a significant update today. Teachers can now view student attachments right in the Grade Editor, instead of having to download the file to view it and going back to Buzz to enter feedback and scores. File types include:
- Google Drive (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
- Microsoft Office (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx)
- PDFs (.pdf)
- Images (.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, ,png, .svg)
- And more (.3gpp, .avi, .bmp, .eps, .flv, .mov, .mpeg4, .mpegps, .mts, .ps, .py, .tiff, .txt, .wmv, .xml)
Note
- Because the preview function depends on third-party tools, support for the listed file types may change or vary depending upon changes made by the preview tool provider.

When users select a folder from the sidebar navigation in the Activities tool, a folder landing page now appears in the main window. The landing content includes any thumbnail assigned to the folder, the folder name, list of the activities in the folder, a description, and any metadata that is made visible to students.

User Menu
Registration Code
Users can now Enter Registration Code for courses that belong in a parent domain. This allows a district to create a professional development course in a district domain, generate a registration code, and share it with users in school domains to self-register for the course. This makes training and enrollment management much easier.
