What's new in Examplary

Examplary for organizations now includes a complete audit trail of all significant actions taken across the platform. Logins, exam session events, grading decisions, user and permission changes, API key rotations, and billing actions are all recorded with a timestamp, the actor who performed them, and a before/after snapshot of what changed.

Workspace Admins and Owners can query the audit log via the API using the audit-logs:read scope — filtering by date range, actor, or specific resource. Any date range can also be exported as an ND-JSON file, making it straightforward to integrate with your existing security tooling or store logs for compliance purposes.

One grading flow we heard teachers ask for was the ability to leave comments and highlight specific parts of a student's answer when grading.

This is especially useful for long essays, or grading exams with your team, where lots of discussion takes place around how to grade a specific answer.

You can now leave comments by selecting any part of a student's answer, and clicking the comment button. This will open a comment box where you can leave your feedback.

You can also see all comments left by you and your colleagues in the grading sidebar, with the ability to reply and mark comments as resolved.

Also in this release:

• We've also introduced comments in the test editor description field. Simply select some text to leave a private note only visible to you and your colleagues. This is perfect for leaving reminders or notes about specific instructions or information in the test description.

Examplary now supports real-time collaboration on tests. Teachers can now work together on the same test simultaneously, making it easier to create and edit tests as a team. Changes made by one teacher will be instantly visible to others, allowing for seamless collaboration and improved efficiency in test creation.

This feature is designed to enhance teamwork and streamline the process of developing high-quality assessments for students.

As part of this update, we also rolled out:

• A new interface for inviting participants and collaborators to tests, making it easier to manage access and permissions.
• Improved email delivery and design for invitations to both students and fellow teachers.
• Allowing students to start a test from their student homepage, perfect for formative assessments and practice tests.

When a student signs in to Examplary, they now receive a 6-digit verification code by email instead of a clickable sign-in link.

After entering their email address, a code input field appears right on the login screen. The student types in the code from their email to complete sign-in — no need to click a link in a separate browser tab.

The code expires after 30 minutes. If it expires, the student can simply start the sign-in process again to get a new one.
