New Snap login page design and navigation options — Site administrators can now choose a third login page template, Stylish Inverse, which mirrors the existing Stylish layout with the login form and image positions swapped. Admins can also independently show or hide the navigation bar and footer on the login page, making it easier to match the page to their institution's branding.

Additional Fixes and Minor Improvements
Payments & Integrations
- Fixed an issue where unlogged-in (guest) users attempting to purchase a product through the Flywire payment integration would encounter an account-creation error at checkout. Guest checkout via Flywire is now disabled for unlogged-in users to prevent this error; these users will need to log in or create an account to complete a purchase.
Reporting
- Fixed an issue where the Forum Summary report could not be downloaded in CSV, JSON, ODS, or HTML format. Downloads in XLSX and PDF format were unaffected.
Account & Licensing
- Fixed an issue where monthly flex-seat usage data could permanently miss a date if it was briefly unavailable from the source system and only became available afterward; the sync now picks up dates that are backfilled after the fact.
Snap Theme
- Fixed an issue where students and teachers could continue to see outdated activity due dates in Snap's dashboard feeds for up to 30 minutes after an instructor changed a date, because the browser's local cache had no way to detect the change on the server.
- Fixed an issue where the grouping name did not appear on activity cards for activities restricted to a specific group or grouping.
- Fixed an issue where the activity settings (cog) menu could appear cut off at the top of the page when first landing on a course using the Tiles or Custom sections course format, until the page was scrolled.
Boost Theme
- Fixed an issue where the "New" tag on unread Open Forum replies displayed as "Ne" due to text truncation.
Assessment & Personalized Learning Designer
- Fixed an issue where Personalized Learning Designer event rules incorrectly allowed "Question bank" and individual question types to be selected as triggering activities, even though they cannot generate a "viewed" event.
Mobile
- Fixed an issue affecting how embedded YouTube videos in course content passed referral information within the Open LMS mobile app.
