Pages/Feature | Users Affected | Description | When does this happen? | Outcome | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
All Rich Text Editors | Project Managers, Question Writers, Reviewers | Rich Text Editor updated in all text fields | The new Rich Text Editor is available when you edit any text in a stem, option or comment | A new streamlined Rich Text Editor replaces the old Rich Text Editor. Menus now group less used items, the most commonly used buttons are displayed, and features that were not supported have been removed. See the Formatting Options topic for details on the new Rich Text Editor. Tabs are supported in the Rich Text Editor. The Source code for a tab looks like the following: <span style="white-space: pre; tab-size: 72px;" class="Apple-tab-span"> | Enhancement |
| Tables in Rich Text Editor fields | Project Managers, Question Writers, Reviewers | Table and Column widths are predefined, restrictions on header rows in tables | Insert a table into a Rich Text Editor field | Tables inserted into Rich Text Editor fields are automatically set to 475px wide. The Column widths are 475px divided equally by column count. Column widths are set in pixels, not a percentage so the test driver can render the tables properly. The default cell padding is 2px. By default tables are inserted without a Header row, therefore users can insert a single row table, but they are prevented from setting a header row in a single row table, and they are prevented from setting more than one row as Header rows in a table with multiple rows. Users can define a Header row by setting a Cell as a Header Cell, and setting a row as a Header row. Inner and outer borders on tables are now consistent in color and weight.
See the Insert and Format Tables topic for details. | Enhancement |

Images that are not assets are not allowed in ExamDeveloper. A validation has been added to prevent the item from being saved. Users must add all images as Assets to the system rather than copy and pasting directly from the Web. | Fix |
