• Quiz passed stories are more visually consistent with other stories
• Share stories with video links that are embeddable via WordPress oEmbed functionality will automatically be embed at the top of the story. Only the first video in a story is automatically embedded, others will be made into links.

Timeline Permissions

• Admins & LMS Managers can view anything they want whenever they want

• Instructors can see everything in their courses & memeberships & everything in courses & memberships they’re enrolled in

• Students can see everything in the courses and memberships they’re enrolled in

• Some story types are marked as “public” and are visible on timelines regardless of enrollments:

• join – when a user registers and joins the site

• complete – when a student completes a course

• enroll – when a student enrolls ins a course or membership

• These stories can be made private (or private stories can be made public) by modifying the “public” key for each story type. Use the filter llms_sl_story_verbs to do so.

Timeline Browsing Cards

• The “Browse Stories” card on timelines will now only display a list of courses & memberships the current user is enrolled in
• An additional card “Browse Stories (Instructor)” is additionally displayed to Admins, LMS Managers, Instructors, and Instructor’s Assistants. This card allows these users to filter timelines by course or memberships they have access to as instructors/admins/managers.
