Ability to Bypass the Login Page Using External Identity Server
Users of Identity Server 4 authenticated tenants will have the option to exclude the Frost Login URL and automatically reroute to any other external URL that was previously established for direct authentication. Once auser is logged out of the Frost application, they will now be directed to the same specified URL. The option to disable this feature and customize the external URL is managed by both the Super Admin and the Tenant Admin.
Choose LTI Export Type for Canvas Configuration
A new drop-down to choose LTI export is now available for Canvas in the Tenant Configuration page. This enables the administrator to select the default option of whether Canvas LTI export is 1.1 or 1.3, or to let the user make that decision at the time of export.

Users now have the choice to manually add both LTI 1.1 and 1.3 external tools by providing the appropriate URLs.
Support of Point Rubrics in D2L Export

Easy Tracking of Project Details for Each User Groups
This new improvement enables users to access each User Group’s related Project data straight from the User Groups list.

Optimized Content Preview Using CDN Caching
Any user will be able to see an instant preview of the changed content in LOR or reuse it in Designer from LOR. Similarly, an instant preview of the objects edited and published/republished from Designer to LOR are now provided. Non-student users (Admin, Teacher, and Instructor roles) in the LMS will be able to access the most recent updates promptly. Students will be able to preview the most recent updates after 15 minutes of caching.
Ability to Author Content Screen
Users will be able to author pages directly from the LOR. They will see the same editor as in Designer and can incorporate text with formatting, media, patterns, and content fragments, as well as other existing widgets. For the convenience of users, the option to preview the content being created has been enabled. Content Screens will be saved with the .HTML extension and can be specifically filtered out with the Filter Content Screen under content type. Authors will be able to reuse the content screens developed directly in LOR when creating courses in Designer, and a usage history will be kept.
New Metadata Filtration
The entire metadata selection control has now been shifted to a new visual tabular component with the same capability to add/update/delete Key-Value Pair, Taxonomy, and Tags individually.
Visual Improvements in Thumbnails
Default object thumbnails have been modified to be more meaningful and easily identifiable based on their resource types, such as External Tool/Link, Vimeo video, Kaltura video, YouTube video, and Referenced Object. Once an object is created, updated thumbnails will be displayed in the preview panel and listing page.
