We’re excited to roll out a new update packed with improvements that make Heropa more responsive, reliable, and enjoyable for instructors and students alike. This release brings smoother event creation, more stable classroom sessions, and smarter validation to help you deliver training with confidence and ease.

✨ New features

• New Zapier templates for seamless course and event automation – We’ve expanded our Zapier integration to make managing training completion effortless. The new Heropa + Arlo zapier templates use new triggers for course enrollment completion and event completion, allowing students to self-register, complete their training, and have grades and certifications automatically updated in Arlo, no manual administration required.
• New workspace controls for file uploads and copy & paste – Added new workspace options that give administrators greater control over how users interact with their VMs. A new Allow copy paste setting lets you enable or block copying and pasting into and out of the VM (while still allowing Copy to VM from content code blocks and credentials). The existing Allow file sharing option has also been updated to control whether users can drag and drop files into the workspace to upload them to their VMs.

🌱 Enhancements

• Improved event creation validation – Event creation now includes clearer inline error messages and enhanced start and end time validation for all event types, including custom events, making setup faster and more reliable.
• Event workspace and Follow Host improvements – Enhanced synchronization between instructors and participants in live sessions, improving reconnection handling, Follow Host behaviour, and overall audio/video reliability within event workspaces.
• Enhanced course and content viewing preferences – Heropa now remembers your preferred view settings across sessions for Courses, Content, Public IPs, and Hosts.
• Shared template management – Updated the confirmation modal when deleting shared templates for a clearer, safer experience.

🔧 Fixes

• Shared template import – Fixed an issue preventing import of shared templates in certain cases.
• User assignment to events – Fixed an issue assigning new users to events via the classroom page.
• Template status – Fixed template status sometimes remaining “Pending” after completion.
• Environment updates – Fixed an issue where the "Update" button stopped working if multiple changes were made to the same environment without refreshing the page.
• Event reporting – Fixed reports that previously excluded deleted users from results.
• DirectRDP countdown timers – Fixed multiple timers showing after closing workspace sessions.
• Login/logout behaviour – Visiting /login in a new tab no longer logs users out of active sessions elsewhere.
• Orphaned environment list – Fixed the Orphans page not loading correctly.
• UI fixes – Addressed button alignment, scroll, and modal visibility issues across multiple screens.

We look forward to your feedback!
