1. Schedule Page Publication: In Modules and Page, instructors can delay pages for publication on a specific date/time. This update allows instructors to prepare and schedule pages in advance to automatically publish in a course. Instructors can view when a page is scheduled to publish; scheduled pages remain invisible to students until the scheduled publish date/time.

- Screenshot of a scheduling menu showing “Options” for page publication settings. A dropdown indicates “Users allowed to edit this page: Only teachers.” A date field labeled “Publish At” shows September 29, 2022, with a calendar dropdown open below it. Below the calendar, a time selector is set to 4:00 PM. Red arrows labeled 1 and 2 highlight the date and time fields.

- Screenshot of a content scheduling indicator showing a red arrow pointing to a label that reads “Will publish on Sep 29.” An orange calendar icon appears next to the label, indicating a scheduled publication date.

2. Speedgrader Multi-File Submissions Display as Single Submission for Third-Party Tools: When using third-party tools to upload assignments, multiple files submitted together will display as a single submission in Speedgrader. Previously, when using third-party tools to submit assignments, each file displayed as a separate submission. This update allows instructors to view submissions from third-party tools with multiple files together in Speedgrader.

- Screenshot of an online assignment grading interface showing a document titled “Lorem Ipsum” on the left and submission details on the right. A red arrow points to a list of submitted files under “Submitted Files,” labeled with filenames such as “Jorge Lugo – My Worksheet.docx.” Additional fields include Word Count, Assessment (grade entry box), and Assignment Comments.

3. Improved Inbox Functionality: In the Inbox, coding has been updated to improve functionality for all users. This update utilizes InstUI for Inbox, Instructure’s internal design language, to provide improved accessibility and quality experiences.
