Surveyor: save-and-continue now works on open links
Save-and-continue could be switched on for public and password-protected surveys, but it never actually worked for them — only invite links had a way to resume. Respondents on an open link who closed the tab lost their progress every time, silently.
Open links now keep their own resume token in the browser, so returning to the link picks up right where you left off instead of starting over. Two smaller fixes ride along: answers now save immediately when you leave the page (not just every 30 seconds), and previewing your own survey no longer writes a partial response into your data. See Running a survey with Folio Surveyor for the full flow.
Shared links unfurl with real preview cards
Pasting a transcript, completion certificate, or shared-document link into Slack, email, or anywhere else that renders a link preview used to fall back to Folio's generic homepage card. Those three link types now generate their own preview — naming the institution and credential type for transcripts and completions, and the document title and sharer for shared documents — the same way /verify and /review links already did.
Managing a published certificate no longer costs a credit
Revoking a certificate, or editing what a "Sharing settings" disclosure shows, was quietly metered the same as publishing a new one — so a Scholar-plan writer who'd used all three of their monthly credits could get stuck unable to even take a credential down. Revoking and editing disclosure are both free now, on every plan; publishing (and re-publishing after a revoke) still costs a credit as before.
Also in this release
- PDF export keeps underline, superscript, and subscript formatting. They were already correct in DOCX exports, but silently dropped from PDF — notation like x² or H₂O printed as plain text, and the editor's Underline button had no effect on the exported file.
- For institutions: removing a student from a course roster now offers their seat to the waitlist, the same way a self-service drop already did. A capped course could sit under-enrolled with people waiting for a seat that was, in fact, open.
- For institutions: course changes (reassigning an instructor, moving a course between terms or programs) are now recorded in the institution's audit log, and reassigning an instructor requires them to actually belong to the institution first.
