Engineering team has begun release

22nd April 2025
The Engineering team are planning an EQUAL release on the 22nd April 2025 at 2:00 PM.

If you've got any questions about the items in the release, please feel free to ask. Please feel free to share with any customers so they're aware of the upcoming changes.

New Features
Release TurnItIn Integration for Main Equal Site
Learners will now be able to accept the TurnItIn EULA when submitting their work and once accepted and submitted tutors will be able to view both the similarity score and similarity report generated by TurnItIn on the submissions page.

Add ability to not set subsequent tutor for submissions
Currently, when changing the tutor assigned to a submission it will also change the tutor for any future submissions. This change adds a button (to the overview page) and a checkbox (to the submission page) to allow it so that changing the tutor will only impact the submission selected.

Bug Fixes
Data Retention Script Optimisations
Our existing script for running through existing learners for marking if/when their data should be deleted had significant performance problems when initially released. We have essentially rewritten that script to be a lot more performant and should allow us to correctly add the retention data for all existing learners.

Optimized CSV Export External Learners Not Matching Original Search Results
When exporting external learners the exported CSV should now correctly match the search results it was exported from.

Internal Only Updates
This section doesn't need to go to any customers - this is just for awareness inside the company, in case there are any problems reported.
