YuJa Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform Update – v25.3.0 Release

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union. This update includes expanded support for replacing files in D2L Brightspace, an enhanced Issue Severity Rubric Wizard to streamline changing the issue settings, Gradient Reader settings that are now saved between sessions, and more.

Expanded Support for Replacing Files in D2L Brightspace

We’ve expanded support for replacing PDFs in D2L Brightspace when making accessibility improvements. This update simplifies file replacement even when addressing metadata changes such as missing titles, alongside visual accessibility improvements.
Enhanced Issue Severity Rubric Wizard to Streamline Changing the Issue Settings

We’ve enhanced the Issue Severity and Rubric Wizard that guides users through configuring assessment parameters for new documents. Administrators can easily adjust settings and see all changes before they confirm the updates. Note: These configuration updates will only be applied to newly analyzed documents.
Gradient Reader Settings Are Now Saved Between Sessions

Users can now save their custom color scheme preferences across sessions in the Gradient Reader. Personalized settings will now automatically apply each time they reopen the application.
Moodle Plugin Enhancements Now Allow Replacing HTML Content Improved with Panorama

The Moodle plugin has been enhanced to support HTML content replacement throughout the Moodle environment, including across assignments, books, forums, quizzes, and other content types.
Expanded File Replacement Capabilities in Moodle

This update enables direct file replacement for improved accessibility across Moodle Assignments, Announcements, and Folder structures. When viewing attachments in these modules, accessibility improvements made through YuJa Panorama will now automatically update the downloadable files.
Improved Access to Issue Remediation Guides

The customization options for issue remediation guides have been moved to the Branding tab for improved visibility. Users can now more easily find and modify instructions that guide users through fixing accessibility issues.
Performance Optimizations Allow Faster Loading in the LMS for Students with Low Bandwidth Devices

Performance optimizations allow YuJa Panorama to load faster within the LMS for students with limited bandwidth. These improvements maintain full Platform functionality while reducing resource demands in the LMS.
Sub-Admins Privileges Are Now Preserved Through LTI Launches

Sub-admins who manage at least one sub-account will now maintain their role permissions during LTI launches without requiring role locking. This enhancement eliminates the need for special configurations to prevent permission downgrades, creating a more consistent administrative experience.
New Tooltips Added to Guide Students Through Alternative Formats

Each alternative format option now has informative tooltips that provide students with clear explanations of when and how to use each format when students hover over the format icon.
Improved Color Contrast Detection in PowerPoint Documents

This update improves how YuJa Panorama identifies color contrast issues in Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, including those created with Designer Slides, reducing false positive accessibility flags.
Users Have More Clarity on Where Heading Structure Elements Are Found in PowerPoint Files

Heading structure issues in PowerPoint files are now flagged on individual slides where they occur rather than being consolidated. This makes it easier to locate and address specific structural issues.
Canvas Integration Offers More Granular Level Access to Panorama Permissions

The Canvas API integration now offers an additional method of authentication using a Client ID and Secret, rather than Access Tokens. This allows Administrators to provide Panorama with more granular permissions.
