Key Features

• Session reliability fix — resolved an issue where expired tokens caused session refresh failures, keeping users logged in without interruption
• School IT Admin role — new role type gives districts granular, school-level administrative access without full district-admin privileges
• Salesforce integration improvements — faster data imports, S3-backed file handling, and expanded partner data fields for more complete district sync
• Authentication endpoint protection — per-route rate limiting on session refresh guards platform stability under high load
• Security hardening — tightened CSRF protection and updated cryptographic dependencies to keep the platform safe

How Does It Impact Our Customers?

Districts and schools will notice fewer unexpected logouts thanks to the session refresh fix, while those using Salesforce integrations will benefit from noticeably faster and more reliable data imports. The addition of the School IT Admin role gives district administrators a new, right-sized permission level to delegate school-level configuration without granting full district access — a frequently requested capability for larger, multi-school deployments.

What Is AE+ 1.6?

AE+ 1.6 is the current feature line of the Audio Enhancement+ platform, delivering improvements to user management, third-party integrations, and platform resilience. The 1.6.9 hotfix patch addresses stability and security issues surfaced after the 1.6.8 release, ensuring districts continue to get a reliable, secure experience without waiting for the next major cycle.

Why Does It Matter?

Uninterrupted access to AE+ directly supports teachers' ability to manage classroom audio and keep students engaged — a dropped session mid-class is a disruption that affects learning outcomes. Stronger Salesforce integration reduces manual data entry burden for district IT staff, and the new School IT Admin role means districts can delegate responsibilities more safely. Together, these fixes and enhancements reinforce the platform's commitment to being dependable infrastructure for K-12 audio learning environments.
