''
 
'''Manual enrolments:'''
When enrolling students to your course manually,  note that the site default now enrols them immediately.
 
'''Filter by not in group:''' There is a new option to filter students who are not in any group. You can do this in both ''Course administration > Users >Enrolled users'' and also in ''Course administration >Users > Groups >Overview''
 
'''Filter by last access:''' The Enrolled users screen also allows you to filter your students by last access to the course.

'''Course tagging:''' A new setting in ''Course administration >Edit settings'' lets you tag your course so it may be searched for by others in ''Site pages > Tags''.

==Activities==
 
===Database activity===
 
Unapproved entries in newly created databases are now highlighted for both teacher and the user who added them, and it is also possible to prevent editing of entries once they have been approved.
