This quick release has a small number of updates, but each one is significant. Especially if you're working with libraries or cloud ebooks, you are able to automate deactivation of users and specific book access. Without further ado, let's take a look at the details.
Note you may see the Release Notes for any of the older releases of Kotobee anytime.
Scheduled Expiration
As already hinted, if you're a library or cloud ebook owner, you may now schedule the expiration of certain properties of a user.
Here is what you can currently schedule for expiration.
| User Activation | Deactivate the user at a certain date. |
| User Role | Unassign the user's role at a certain date. |
| Book Access | Remove access to a certain book at a certain date. |
| Category Access | Remove access to a certain category at a certain date. |
| Library Access | Remove access to the entire library at a certain date. |
| Global Data Access | Remove access to global data functions at a certain date. |
With this new feature, applications are countless. You can have a more automated workflow by selling time-limited access to users. Our APIs have also been updated.
Rich-Text (HTML) Support in Questions
Questions in Kotobee Author now support HTML. You may control font size and additional formatting. This is supported for all question types.
Question Separator
You may now separate questions with a new separator option. This separator may contain custom text, including a top or bottom border. This is useful if you would like to provide dense explanation before a question.
Serial Navigation Mode
Although a minor feature, when navigating forward or backward, select either to go through items in the book spine, or jump through chapter HTML files, ignoring anchors. This is useful if you have many items in your table of contents that is jumping to different parts of your chapter. In this case, you can have the Next/Previous buttons jump to the next chapter file altogether.
