What's New in Kanbedu.

Every notable Kanbedu release, newest first. Small fixes and internal changes ship quietly, so not every update gets an entry.

  1. Oct 26, 2026

    Classes, Redesigned

    The class screens, rebuilt around your groups with lecturers testing every round: an Overview of every group, a page of its own for each group, People, Reports and Settings. Plus deadline reminders for everyone.

    The Overview: 14 of 27 groups need attention, with group cards showing progress bars, column counts and tags such as 4 Tasks Waiting, No Activity for 6 Days and 1 of 3 Members Inactive

    A Clearer Kanbedu

    The task panel for Design the event poster: properties, tags and an attached poster under the title on the left, and the Activity column with comments and history on the right

    Coordinators

    Promote a trusted co-teacher to Coordinator so they can invite and manage other teachers, without handing over the whole class. Plus choose how many days of no movement counts as Waiting for your own class.

    Archived Tasks

    File a task away instead of deleting it. Archive keeps its comments, activity and description history intact, forever, and you can always find it again.

    Default Board

    Choose which board or class Kanbedu opens to when you log in, delete a comment without leaving a hole in the thread, get told when a bug report you filed is resolved, and a handful of small roster and board fixes.

    Comment Editing

    A comment can be edited instead of only deleted, high contrast and reduced motion are real settings now, and board columns explain why a drag snapped back instead of just snapping back.

    Daily Digest

    Notifications you missed now arrive as one email a day, CSV-imported students get a personal join link instead of a shared one, and overdue means the same thing on the board, in Monitor, in analytics and in the grading export.

    Class Invites

    Joining a class through a roster now asks first: an invited student gets an accept-or-decline card instead of joining invisibly or not at all. Plus a public status page, and a couple of co-teacher permissions narrowed to what they were meant to be.

    Co-Teacher Assignments

    Co-teachers now start with no groups until you assign them, and that boundary holds everywhere. Plus the sidebar stays with you in class, roster deletions get undo, and mentions show handles so same-named students aren't confused.

    Mentions

    Comments can @-mention people and #-link tasks, and it actually notifies people now. Every panel and board has its own URL, list view can sort by when a task was created, and Monitor catches groups that never started.

    Co-teaching

    Invite other lecturers into a class and limit each one to specific groups, export a term of student activity as a CSV or a per-group PDF report, and use the educator panels and settings properly on a phone. Joining a class now requires a verified email address.

    Backlog Columns

    Backlog columns can be marked Start so they never flag as waiting, chart analytics reached every class board, and priority, column and deadline tags, tooltips, and board menus were unified into one shared design across the whole app.

    Reliability Update

    A full sweep of improvements across the app. Deadlines, drag-and-drop, notifications, group search, and the class clone flow are all tightened up. Roster CSV imports now send invite emails to newly added students, capped at 100 per file.
