Buzz Release Notes
A round-up of all improvements and changes to the Buzz platform version 3.0.472, available on August 28, 2025.
Improved messaging experience in BusyBee Chats
The text field for messaging in BusyBee Chats now floats at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to find and always available while chatting! Users no longer need to scroll to reply even when reviewing instructions or content at the top of the activity.

Streamlined teacher preview in BusyBee Chats
We’ve streamlined the teacher preview experience in BusyBee Chats to make reviewing student activity simpler and more efficient!
Enhancements include:
- One consolidated screen: All teacher actions now happen in a single view--no more switching between the Evaluations and Chats tabs.
- Direct preview access: When opening the chat preview, teachers go straight into their own test chat.

- Improved student selector: The student picker now opens a sortable dialog, showing student names, profile pictures, and the date of their last message. Teachers can sort by Name or Last message to quickly see who has chats to review.

- New “Performance” button: The evaluation summary of all student performance is now available in a dialog that can be opened anytime without leaving the chat screen.
