Thanks to all those who signed up for our Grade passback beta! If you're interested, but haven't signed up, there's still time: System administrators can sign up to get ongoing updates about this feature and to have a chance to take part in our beta program.

Updated student Past grades screen
We have moved updated the way students can access grades for past courses.
Previously, students could click the Past courses on their overall Grades screen to expand the page. We have now given them a Past courses tab in that screen to improve discoverability and usability. Students can filter the columns and print their past courses summaries from this screen.

Fixes
In this release, we:
- Fixed an issue where the Grading category would display as empty in the Clipboard after assigning one task and continuing to assign a second.
- At times a message saying You must first select a course before you can insert media would appear when the message should have read Recording and uploading media is not allowed here.
- Fixed a Dark scheme color issue in the Activity history screen.
- Fixed an issue where the User settings card was not displaying in the SIS sync's settings screen.
- Fixed an issue where an admin could not access a student's Past courses in the Performance tool if the student had no active courses.
