[Platform Updates](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#platform-updates) # Shortlister/Shortlist.Me Release Notes (11/07/25) ### New **Randomised Question Variants (Question Shield)** Account holders now have the capability to create an unlimited number of variations based on a single base question. These variations are assigned to candidates at random, which serves to uphold the integrity of assessments and minimise the repetition of content. ### Enhancements **Text-to-Speech Enhancements** Voice prompts for text-based questions have been refined to deliver a more natural and human-like quality, thereby improving the candidate experience with audio that is both personalised and engaging. **Upgraded Written Assessment Experience** A range of enhancements has been implemented to increase the flexibility and usability of written assessments. - **Rich Text Support** Candidates now have access to a rich text editor, enabling them to format and structure their responses with greater effectiveness. - **Paste Restrictions** The functionality to paste text is disabled in rich text fields to promote the authenticity of responses. However, it remains enabled for plain text fields. - **Word Limit Settings** Account holders can now establish word count limits for rich text fields, encouraging candidates to provide clear and concise responses. - **Auto Expanding Text Fields** Rich text input areas will automatically expand as candidates type, while plain text fields will continue to require manual resizing. - **Typing Behaviour Tracking** Enhanced tracking features provide deeper insights into candidates' typing behaviours, including typing speed, error count, and total time spent on each response. - **Extended Time Limits** Customizable time limits can now be set for each assessment, ranging from 10 to 60 minutes, allowing for greater flexibility in assessment duration. **Rubric Report Enhancements** The newly enhanced rubric reports offer an improved and detailed breakdown of scores and feedback. Users can now view the selected criteria levels for each question from individual reviewers. Additionally, full criterion-level statements are accessible for every rating, providing greater context and transparency for assessments. ### Fixes **Written Assessment Feedback Report (PDF)** Candidate written responses - complete with rich text formatting - are now accurately captured in the downloadable feedback report available to account holders. This information remains confidential and is not visible to candidates, ensuring the integrity of the assessment process is upheld. - [I'm a Participant](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to prepare](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#how-to-prepare) - [Camera](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#camera) - [Internet Connection](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#internet-connection) - [Microphone](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#microphone) - [I've started my interview](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#ive-started-my-interview) - [I've completed my interview](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#ive-completed-my-interview) - [FAQ](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#faq) - [Tips](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-participant?hsLang=en#tips) - [I'm an Account Holder](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creating Interviews](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#creating-interviews) - [Adding & Managing Interviewees](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#adding-managing-interviewees) - [Additional Guides](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#additional-guides) - [Reviewing Interviews](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-an-account-holder?hsLang=en#reviewing-interviews) - [Platform Updates & Guides](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Platform Updates](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#platform-updates) - [Platform Guides](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/platform-updates-guides?hsLang=en#platform-guides) - [I'm a Reviewer](https://support.shortlister.com/knowledge/im-a-reviewer?hsLang=en) [![shortlister-logo-colour.svg](https://4019327.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4019327/shortlister-logo-colour.svg "shortlister-logo-colour.svg")](http://shortlister.com) shortlister.com Help Centre Copyright © 2026, Shortlister Solutions Ltd
