Release note

Final – TextAid January 2026 (v 4.19.0)

These are the final release notes for the January 2026 release of TextAid. Items marked with an asterisk (*) were not in the preliminary release notes.

Released: 2026-01-26


New Features and Changes

Select Theme (Beta)

We have added two new themes to TextAid. This is a beta feature for the time being so it’s not guaranteed to be bug-free, users can revert back to the original theme during the beta. The original theme is still the default, but we will change it to a new one in a coming update. #11781

Please Note: The theme selector will be included in this update, but it will not be visible until additional themes have been added. This will happen in the weeks following the release. An in-app notification will be displayed when they are available.


Press Enter key to Create a Folder in the Library

It is now possible to press the Enter key when creating a folder in the library. Prior to this update, Enter would only return the user to the start page. #10807


New Translation Language: Latin American Spanish

Latin American Spanish (es-419) has been added as a translation language. #11290


Notable Corrections

Library: Wrong folder is displayed

After performing one of these actions, the root folder would open instead of the current folder:

  • Uploading a new document. #11884
  • Creating a new folder. #11889

Library: Breadcrumb Trail not Updated Correctly

The breadcrumb trail would not update correctly when navigating from the library root to the first folder level. This has been fixed now. #11759, #11883


Welsh Translation Missing Phrases

Some missing phrases has been added to the Welsh translation of the UI. #11799


Blank Pages when Handing in Exam

PDFs handed in as exams could contain blank pages due to a bug in the pdf generator. This has been addressed. #11814


Exams Submitted Automatically

When there were overlapping exams, the second exam would be automatically submitted when the first one was manually submitted. This has now been fixed. #12006


Localized Date and Time Formats for German *

The date and time formats were adjusted to better reflect the formats used in Germany when you select German as the user interface language. #12023

The formats used are now:

  • Date: dd.mm.yyyy (e.g. 26.01.2026)
  • Time: hh.mm (e.g. 08:42)
