Explore what’s new in Digital Samba 626. This release introduces draw over content, bringing laser pointer, sticky notes, freehand drawing, and more directly onto shared documents for a truly interactive experience. We’ve also added support for launching timed quizzes and downloading results, along with fully role-based Q&A permissions for tighter control.

  • Added new permission named “Ask questions in Q&A”, enabling question submission in the Q&A section.
  • Added option for moderators to download quiz results, supported through the dashboard and via API.

Fixed
