Oct 1, 2025In Oct 2025, delivered a major consolidation of Differentiation Tags under account-level control and improved error visibility in the Assignment Experience for instructure/canvas-lms. Removed all Differentiation Tags feature flag checks in favor of centralized account configuration, enabling faster activation, consistent rollout, and reduced admin configuration. Also fixed AE Assignment Experience error reporting to ensure complete error data reaches the error boundary, improving debugging and monitoring of student assignment views. These changes reduce feature-flag complexity, lower admin overhead, and strengthen product reliability across the LMS.

May 1, 2025May 2025 highlights for instructure/canvas-lms: Delivered major improvements to the Assignment Experience and introduced Bulk Range Selection UX. Implemented robust group assignment carryover for the assign-to field, borderless LTI launches, and contract-aligned LTI iframe sizing, along with a new student progress wheel to clearly reflect submission status. Added shift-click range selection with keyboard accessibility for efficient multi-selection and synchronized UI state. These changes reduce instructor workflow time, improve student submission visibility, and strengthen external tool integration.
