Public updates

September 2026

We've been quiet on this page for a while because we've been busy: this is our biggest release yet. Exam Display now covers the whole exams year, from coursework deadlines to results day, not just the exam room.

NEW PRODUCT: DEADLINE TRACKER A shared calendar for every internal assessment and coursework deadline, so pile-ups get caught before students feel them.

One calendar for all internal assessment and coursework deadlines across departments
Student workload limits that flag deadline pile-ups before they happen
Pressure insights showing which weeks overload which cohorts
Teachers submit ranked scheduling requests through a shared link, no extra accounts needed
Coordinators review and approve requests in one click, with a full audit trail

NEW PRODUCT: SCHEDULER Scheduler has graduated from private beta into a full product: everything needed to build an exam session, not just the display at the front of the room.

Import exam cycles and build a full, clash-free session timetable
Automatic clash detection across candidates, rooms, and papers
Auto-scheduling that respects date locks and access arrangements
Candidate and room management, with per-board candidate numbers
Access arrangements (extra time, rest breaks, separate rooms) managed in one place
Seating plans, invigilator assignment, and workload overview
Print seating plans, attendance registers, and exam documents

NEW: DISPLAY BUILDER A new Display Builder page brings every display feature, including presets, into one place that's much easier to navigate.

Add your own exam papers to the database, alongside our huge pre-loaded catalogue
Mark papers as favourites so the ones you use most are always a click away
Add a paper to a display that's already running, with no need to stop or rebuild it

ANALYSER: REBUILT We rebuilt the Analyser from the ground up.

Cohort mean impact: see at a glance which subjects move your headline figures
New distribution and comparison charts, including multi-year trends
Track re-marks and grade changes after enquiries upon results
Prediction accuracy views, including breakdowns by student
Faster uploads and parsing of official results documents

CHOOSE HOW STUDENT DATA IS STORED Schools can now choose, once, how candidate and student data is stored.

On-device: candidate records, access arrangements, and results stay in the browser on your school-managed device and are never uploaded by default
Hosted: the same data, encrypted and synced across your team's devices, for schools that need several staff working from the same records
Either way, access to student data always requires multi-factor authentication

TEAM ROLES & PERMISSIONS

New assignable roles, including Head of Department and School Leader, alongside Admin, Teacher, and Invigilator
Each role grants only the specific actions it needs; administrators can compare exactly what every role can see and do
Fine-grained access across Display, Scheduler, Deadline Tracker, and Analyser, so a subscription upgrade only opens doors for the people who need them

HELP & LEARNING

New Learning Centre with guided, self-paced walkthroughs for every product
Reorganised Help Centre, grouped around how schools actually use the product
New getting-started guides for Scheduler and on-device setup

EVERYTHING ELSE

A refreshed look and feel across the whole product
Faster, more reliable offline support for exam displays
Continued security hardening across authentication, billing, and data access

NEW FEATURE: PRESETS We're excited to introduce Presets, a powerful new way to streamline your exam setup process.

What are Presets? Presets allow invigilators to save specific configurations of display settings that work well for particular exam scenarios. Once saved, these configurations can be applied to any display (including saved displays) with a single click.
