Improvements

Issue Key	Title	Description	Interface	Category
MER-3592	Log out all other accounts when logging in as an admin	When logging in as an admin account, the system should log out any user account that is currently logged in so that an admin explicitly knows which account is being used (only the admin account) to access views throughout the system.	Admin	Account Type Navigation
TRIAGE-430 / MER-3116	Archived products dissapear from list	Corrects a bug: In Browse all Products, when the Include archived Products checkbox is checked, the archived products show up, but they disappear after going to another page, after searching for a product, and after sorting the products.	Admin	Bug fix
MER-3875	Restore admin reviewing	This restores the ability for an admin user to be able to review any student attempt.	Admin	Bug fix
TRIAGE-1064 / MER-3921	v0.29.0 neutron, 500 error when sending a 'reset-password' link to a user from the admin interface	Admins can sort through any user of the platform and send said user an email with a reset password link. Currently a 500 error is thrown immediately, it should not throw an error.	Admin	Bug fix
TRIAGE-409 / MER-3084	Incorrect sorting in publishers	Corrects bug: when sorting by "created" in the publisher list, the sorting is wrong.	Admin	Sorting Issues
TRIAGE-473 / MER-3135	Incorrect sorting of payment status in student reports	Corrects bug, now has the following correct behavior: There should be a secondary sort. Once all of the NOT PAID rows are grouped together, the paid rows should be sorted by when they were paid.	Admin	Sorting Issues
TRIAGE-799 / MER-3539	Incorrect sorting of payment in products	Corrects bug: The sorting of the payment amounts in the Products view appears to be incorrect. It seems the values are being sorted as strings rather than as numerical values.	Admin	Sorting Issues
TRIAGE-1057 / MER-3905	Admin: Manage Student Payment Status from Paid to Unpaid	Admins need to be able to set a student’s status from Paid to Unpaid. Prior to this work, a request needed to be sent to the dev team and they would set the payment status in the database. This is part of a larger student status management issue where we need to be able to manage student enrollment and view student payment and enrollment status between various states.	Admin	UX Improvement
TRIAGE-1075 / MER-3961	Remove "Browse All Collaborative Spaces"	Remove the “Browse all collaborative spaces” link on the main admin page.	Admin	UX Improvement
MER-3296	Direct Delivery Course Author Sign In & Account Creation	Summary: Create & style the Course Author Sign In page, direct users to course author workspace.	Author	Account Type Navigation
MER-3302	Instructor/Author enters Course Author New Projects View	Style the authoring projects view	Author	Account Type Navigation
MER-3303	Instructor/Author enters Course Author Project Overview	Style project view navigation.	Author	Account Type Navigation
MER-3307	Infiniscope: First-time user enters Argos through SSO	Summary: Automatically create and link an authoring account for new infiniscope instructors	Author	Account Type Navigation
TRIAGE-1039 / MER-3412	Image component has fixed aspect ratio based on image dimensions	For both the advanced author and simple/flowchart author, we need to update the image component to retain the image's aspect ratio. The current default setting of 100x100 for the image component needs to be revised.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3414	Update locations of new components added to adaptive pages	Updates functionality to improve the following: Currently, all components added to an adaptive page are default added to the top left corner, with X,Y coordinates of (10,10). Also, when items are copy-pasted, they are placed in the same exact spot, so it is hard to know if it was pasted.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3415	Changing number of attempts available in simple author/flowchart tool	We need to introduce the ability to change the number of allowed attempts. The default should remain at three, but users should be able to specify a different number of attempts (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). The system should honor the specified number.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3416	Make it more intuitive to name adaptive pages	When creating an adaptive page, it isn’t intuitive to name the page (see image below). Many users skip over this and then it is named “New Adaptive Page”. To make this process more intuitive, we need to make it clearer. Changes based on Figma mock-ups.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3417	Make it more intuitive to name screens in simple author/flowchart tool	When creating a new screen from the screenlist view of the flowchart tool, it isn’t intuitive to name the page (see image below). Many users miss that part of the instructions, and then try to click “Next” but are unable to. This view is if you add a screen with a screen list.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3500	When editing feedback if a component is selected when using the backspace on the keyboard it will try to delete the component	When editing/updating the feedback if any component is selected and the backspace is used on the keyboard it will try to delete the component that was selected. Similarly when editing the mutate state and a component is selected it will cause the same issues.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3736	Add Alt Text field for images in MCQs	The MCQ component in adaptive pages has the ability to add images, but there is no way to add alt text for these images. This makes it so screen readers can’t provide any information to users. We need to add a way to include alt text.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3746	Edit wording for Simple vs Advanced Author selection	Updates wording to read Simple Authoring and Advanced Authoring, rather than Basic Authoring and Advanced Authoring.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3956	Duplicated Text Box (Ctrl+c) Issue	When a text box is selected and the user employs the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste text inside the text editor itself, it ends up pasting text, but also copy/pasting the text box component as well, resulting in two text boxes.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3991	Display Nested CAPI Properties in Rule Editor and Config Modal	Certain simulations and components use nested CAPI structures, where properties are grouped under labels (e.g., a "Chart" group containing subgroups like "Eccentricity" with individual properties). Currently, the inspector in preview tools displays these nested CAPI properties correctly, but the variable picker in the rule editor does not. Neither does the configure modal for the iframe. This makes it difficult for authors to find and navigate these properties.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-3997	Add CAPI to Track Popup Opening by Student	Add a CAPI property to the popup component that allows us to track if a student has opened (clicked on) the popup, or if it has been user-modified.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-4014	Add Dark Mode Toggle Option for Adaptive Pages in Lesson Panel	Addresses the layout issue: We’ve encountered some unforeseen issues with dark mode in Adaptive Pages, such as text boxes and number inputs displaying black text on a black background. To address this, add an option for authors to enable or disable dark mode on a per-lesson/page basis.	Author	Adaptive Pages
MER-4051	Delete Component window pops up with backspace	In Simple Author/Flowchart when a component is selected, and you are making changes such as changing the screen title or adjusting the feedback if the backspace button is used the ‘delete component’ window will appear.	Author	Adaptive Pages
TRIAGE-624 / MER-3268	Cannot delete fields in bibliography	Corrects the bug: After deleting a field in an item in the bibliography of a project, after reloading the page, the field remains undeleted.	Author	Bibliography and Citations
TRIAGE-613 / MER-3326	Selecting citation is near-impossible with long list of bibliography items	Corrects bug: When in Curriculum, and attempting to link a citation in bibliography, the list of citations does not render with in a scrollable white-space, but the whole list renders outside of the white box.	Author	Bibliography and Citations
TRIAGE-920 / MER-3789	URL in note attribute of "misc" bibliography entry used for web...
