Every release, fix and new platform, newest first. For live system health see the status page.

November 2, 2026 v3.7.28 NEW FIXED
Canvas quizzes on one page
  • Canvas: quizzes that show every question on one page are now supported. Solve One answers the next unanswered question, and Solve All works through every question you have not answered yet, leaving your own answers alone.
  • Canvas: when a question is shown as a picture instead of text, HWSolved takes a screenshot of that question and reads it with the AI. Keep the quiz tab in front while it does.
  • Canvas: new Auto-Submit Timer in the panel. Set the minutes and HWSolved submits the quiz when it reaches zero, as long as the quiz stays open in a tab.
  • Canvas: math written with the equation editor is now read as part of the question, and the green answer hint no longer shows up twice.
November 1, 2026 v3.7.27 FIXED NEW
SmartBook matching and MyLab Solve All
  • McGraw Hill SmartBook: matching questions (drag the cards into the boxes) are answered again, including questions where a prompt takes two or more cards.
  • If a card cannot be placed, HWSolved now stops on that question and shows the suggested answer instead of submitting an incomplete one.
  • Pearson MyLab (new player): Solve All from the extension now works on the new player, starts at the part that is still open, and handles drag-and-drop sorting, word-into-sentence drags and diagram labeling.
  • Pearson MyLab: figures and diagrams in a question are now sent to the AI along with the text.
October 31, 2026 v3.7.26 FIXED
Clearer MyLab errors
  • On Pearson MyLab, when a solve request is rejected (for example your daily solve limit is used up, your licence is inactive, or you are offline), HWSolved now says so instead of showing a confusing could not match the answer message.
  • Solve All now stops after the first rejected request instead of sending one for every remaining part.
October 29, 2026 v3.7.25 NEW
Update alerts
  • When a new version is out, a small Update available pill appears on supported platform pages. It stays hidden in Stream Proof and Ghost mode, and on pages that look like a proctored exam, test or quiz.
  • The update banner in the extension now has a Download button, a short how-to and a Reload HWSolved button that restarts the extension after you replace the files.
October 22, 2026 v3.7.24 NEW
End User License Agreement
  • The first time you open the extension after updating, you are asked to accept the End User License Agreement. The agreement and our DMCA policy are linked from that screen and from the site footer.
October 4, 2026 v3.7.23 NEW
Report an Issue
  • A Report an Issue button at the bottom of the platform list: pick the platform and what happened, add a note if you like, and send it straight to us without leaving the extension.
  • Reports include only the platform, the problem type, your note and the extension version.
October 4, 2026 v3.7.22 IMPROVED
Quicker recovery when a platform changes its layout
  • When you press Solve, HWSolved now also notes which of its page-layout settings matched the page. If a platform redesigns, we can see which setting still works and switch to it sooner.
  • Only layout names and counts are sent, never questions, answers or personal data.
October 3, 2026 v3.7.21 IMPROVED
Faster detection when a platform changes its layout
  • When you press Solve, HWSolved now notes whether it could read the question on that platform. Only counts and page-layout names are sent, never questions, answers or personal data.
  • If a platform redesigns a page and reading starts to fail, we are alerted automatically instead of waiting for someone to report it.
October 3, 2026 v3.7.20 NEW
Previous-version downloads and opt-in beta updates
  • The last five versions can be downloaded from the FAQ page under Previous Versions. Only use one if HWSolved support asks you to.
  • The extension's Settings tab now shows your installed version and has an optional Beta updates switch (off by default). Turn it on to be told about beta versions before everyone else.
October 3, 2026 v3.7.19 IMPROVED
Faster fixes when a platform changes its layout
  • HWSolved can now receive updated page-layout settings from our server, so when a supported platform redesigns a page we can often fix it without you downloading a new version.
  • If the server can't be reached, the extension keeps using the last settings it received, or its built-in ones.
October 1, 2026 v3.7.18 IMPROVED
Top Hat reliability and usage notice
  • Top Hat support now reports anonymous page-layout information (no questions, answers or personal data) so we can adapt quickly when Top Hat updates its site.
  • A one-time usage notice is shown the first time you open the extension.
October 1, 2026 v3.7.17 PLATFORM
Top Hat support
  • HWSolved now works on Top Hat (app.tophat.com). Multiple choice questions are answered and selected for you; Top Hat saves each answer automatically.
  • A Solve button appears on every Top Hat question, and Solve All works through a whole page. HWSolved never presses Hand In - you review and hand in yourself.
October 1, 2026 v3.7.16 FIXED
Snap AI fixed in the Stream Proof window
  • Pressing Snap AI in the detached Stream Proof window now returns an answer instead of an AI error.
  • Clearer error messages in that window when something does go wrong.
October 1, 2026 v3.7.15 NEW
Get a free month for sharing HWSolved
  • Post a short clip of HWSolved on TikTok or Instagram tagging @hwsolved and we'll add a free month to your account. A prompt appears in the extension after you solve a question.
  • Submit your post link right from the prompt; we review and apply the free month within 24 hours.
September 29, 2026 v3.7.14 IMPROVED
More reliable page detection on McGraw Hill and Canvas
  • The extension now recognises when a course platform quietly changes its page layout and adapts on its own, so questions keep being detected without an update.
  • Reliability reporting is anonymous: no question text, no answers, and nothing that identifies you is ever sent.
September 21, 2026 v3.7.13
Patches and accuracy improvements
September 13, 2026 v3.7.12 FIXED
Info Tab Version Number Fixed
  • The Info tab inside the extension was stuck showing an old build number (v2.8.0) no matter which version you actually had installed. It now always matches your real installed version.
  • No other changes in this release.
September 4, 2026 v3.7.11 FIXED
Reactivation After Updating Fixed
  • Updating the extension no longer makes your key report KEY ALREADY IN USE. Reinstalling on the same computer is recognised as you and reactivates on its own.
  • The same fix covers a Chrome update, a graphics driver update, or plugging in a second monitor, any of which used to be enough to require a manual key reset.
  • One key still only runs on one computer. Nothing about what you are allowed to install has changed.
August 30, 2026 v3.7.10 FIXED
ALEKS Equation Solving Fixed
  • Fixed ALEKS equation answers being garbled when the solution has more than one value. 2au2075 = -250au00b2 now correctly gives 0, -5 instead of a jumble of digits.
  • Solution sets with several values now fill each answer box correctly, and a single box gets the whole set rather than half of it.
  • Comprehensive test suite added covering every known edge case, so these answer formats stay fixed.
August 30, 2026 v3.7.9 IMPROVED
MindTap and Stability Improvements
  • MindTap dropdown questions now show a clear message telling you to use Snap AI, instead of guessing at an option and getting it wrong.
  • Mixed questions still get the parts we can do: where a question has both blanks and dropdowns, the blanks are filled automatically and only the dropdown is left to you.
  • General stability improvements.
August 30, 2026 v3.7.8 FIXED
ALEKS Unit Handling Improvement
  • ALEKS no longer double-enters units. When the answer box already prints the unit beside it, HWSolved types just the number - "30" into a box that already shows %, rather than "30%".
  • Improved context detection for percent, degrees and measurement units (meters, kg, lbs, ft, cm). The unit is only dropped when the page actually shows it next to that box, so an answer that genuinely needs its unit still keeps it.
August 30, 2026 v3.7.7 IMPROVED FIXED
AI Accuracy and Platform Improvements
  • ALEKS keeps your whole answer. Thirteen cases where part of an answer was being dropped are fixed - scientific notation, mixed numbers, intervals, ratios, coordinates and units now all come through complete.
  • New ALEKS Auto Check Answer toggle (Pro). Off by default: HWSolved fills the boxes and leaves the Check Answer click to you. Turn it on and it submits for you.
  • Improved ALEKS maths prompting, so answers come back in the exact form ALEKS is asking for.
  • Cengage MindTap questions are detected again. The activity frame had moved, so nothing was being picked up on affected courses.
  • MindTap graph and drawing questions now tell you to use Snap AI instead of sitting silent, since those need to be drawn by hand.
  • Better MindTap question reading - video player controls and dialog text no longer get mistaken for part of the question.
  • Stream Proof covers every solve button and Snap AI, so nothing from HWSolved appears in a shared Discord or Zoom tab.
August 29, 2026 v3.7.6 IMPROVED FIXED
AI Accuracy Improvements
  • ALEKS algebra now solves correctly. Questions whose answer is an expression - factoring, simplifying, solving for a variable - are filled in as the full expression instead of being cut down to a single number.
  • ALEKS answer checking is more reliable. A typed answer is no longer misread as a mismatch because of the way ALEKS renders a minus sign.
  • New ALEKS Auto Check Answer toggle (Pro). Off by default: HWSolved fills the boxes and leaves the Check Answer click to you. Turn it on and it submits for you.
  • Cengage MindTap dropdown questions are now supported, including questions with several dropdowns in one item.
  • Better answer matching and clearer messages on MindTap when a question cannot be read as text.
  • Stream Proof now covers every solve button and Snap AI, so nothing from HWSolved appears in a shared Discord or Zoom tab.
  • Updated the support server link across the extension.
August 22, 2026 v3.7.4 IMPROVED
Security Improvements
  • Enhanced hardware-based device verification. Your license key now recognises your own computer, so it keeps working after an extension update, a reinstall, or a fresh Chrome profile.
  • Far fewer manual key resets. Once you are on v3.7.4 your key re-activates itself on the device you already use it on.
  • Keys remain limited to one device. Verification is what tells your own reinstall apart from a second computer.
August 22, 2026 v3.7.3 IMPROVED
Security Hardening
  • Strengthened protection on the extension build.
  • No changes to platform support or solving behaviour - everything from v3.7.2 works exactly as before.
