- New media centre giving users the ability to upload media files in bulk (mp4, pdf, jpg) and to attach them to exam entities such as stations, scoresheets with different levels of access for users
- New remote assessment feature, allowing exam coordinators to facilitate remote assessments (Reading Time, ID Confirmation, Assessment time etc.) through video integration and exam logistics automation. This feature also includes a watch tab giving the exam coordinator the ability to monitor virtual (station) rooms and communicate with participants including actors, examiners and students. The user can also send predefined and custom notifications to all or certain groups of participants for the purpose of prompting the participants on next action or providing additional user related information

Obsolete
- The Borderline Regression analysis template downloads have been removed from the Observe app in this release to discourage users from performing offline manipulation of scores and outcomes in spreadsheets which increase risk of human error. Qpercom Analyse (coming soon) will facilitate online regression analysis (Method 1 and 2) and Standard Error of Measurement with 68% Confidence Interval and 95% Confidence Interval accompanied by a reporting tool.
