A round-up of all improvements and changes to the Buzz platform in versions v3.0.191 available on September 3, 2020.
New student notifications for discussions!
Students can now choose to receive notifications when someone responds to their discussion post.
To turn the notification on, students open their user menu, select Settings, and select their preferences on the Student notifications card.

We also changed the name of the Scores and feedback card to Student notifications.

In this release, we also:
- Removed some of the notification options for immediate email or SMS message notifications.
- Standardized our terminology to use Base course (where we previously used Master course) throughout the app.

- Improved click behavior when selecting answers for assessment multiple choice and multiple answer questions.
- Fixed an issue in Domain Settings where custom theme image thumbnails did not correctly display on the Theme card.
