New Features

Multi-tab blocking everywhere in Webapp

We've expanded our multi-tab blocking functionality to prevent users from opening multiple instances of the WebApp in the same browser. Previously limited to tests only, this feature can now be applied platform-wide or for specific courses only, ensuring users follow the intended course pathway without circumventing through additional tabs. Once the feature is enabled, if a user attempts to open another tab within the same browser, they will be presented with the pop-up message below.

Contact the BenchPrep team to enable this feature for your organization.

Ability to toggle on/off the ability to edit “My Account” in Learning Hub

We've introduced a new feature called “Allow User Updates to My Account” that allows you to toggle the "My Account" section in the Learning Hub between editable and read-only modes. This enhancement gives you greater control over which parts of the system (e.g., "My Profile" and "My Settings") users can modify, ensuring a more tailored and secure experience for your organization.
