When writing a comment, you can now link directly to content in your course library, in addition to linking out to an external site:

Visit perusall.com to explore our latest features, upcoming events, and educational resources for instructors and students.

When conversation threads get long, you sometimes want to reply to something in a comment far up in the thread. You can now do this by highlighting the part of the comment you want to quote and clicking :

Once you do this, Perusall will format the quote for you in your reply, and @-mention the person you are quoting; you can then add your comment below that:

Sometimes it's fun to add a little whimsy into your comments! Click the button in the toolbar to search for the perfect GIF to add to your comment:

For many kinds of content, you can now generate a suggested reference or citation for a document in your preferred format (APA, MLA, or Chicago) through the new button on the right panel:

If you have text selected, Perusall will suggest an in-text citation. You'll also get a reference you can use in a reference list or works cited list.

If you add a bio to your profile (click your name in the upper right corner of the screen, and then click ), it will show up when other people hover over your photo/initials within Perusall:

In many browsers, you can now click the microphone button in the toolbar to dictate your comment by voice. Simply click the microphone and start talking!

If you are writing text in a right-to-left language, you can now click a new button in the comment editor toolbar to switch text entry to that mode.

You can now add numbered lists, bulleted lists, and quotes to your comments using the new toolbar buttons in the comment editor:

Sometimes, you'll be reading a document and a page won't be the way you want it -- it's a table that is on its side, for example. Now you can rotate pages left or right so that it's easy to read what is on each one!

You can now use a graphical math editor to insert mathematical expressions into your comments -- no special knowledge required! When you click the toolbar button to insert math, use the graphical editor to type in a math expression (for example, press to go to an exponent, or to start a fraction), or use the virtual keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

If you prefer to enter math directly using LaTeX code, you can still do that too! The math editor will stay in sync with any LaTeX you enter so you can see a live preview of the code you type in.

Assignment instructions are now shown more prominently in a new panel on the right inside an assignment. The new panel makes it easier to read long assignment instructions and also displays the deadline and your progress. If the assignment has instructions, the new instructions panel will open by default when students open the assignment, and it can be returned to at any time.

Rich text editors within the application (e.g., comment composition, editing assignment instructions, etc.) now have a new button to remove all formatting from selected text. Use this to clean up formatted text that is pasted in from Word or other applications.

Additional voices are now available for the document Read Aloud feature.
