Prior years' Releases
New Web Portfolio for all Year Groups
April 15, 2025
The Portfolio Roster has been redesigned to simplify the user flow and reduce clutter. The grade and student list have been combined into a single page, making it easier to navigate between students.
The process for adding Evidence of Learning has been simplified to support younger students better and reduce the burden on teachers. The modal for adding Evidence of learning includes large, user-friendly buttons for easier navigation, especially for primary-year learners.
After selecting a resource type, you are only required to enter a title and upload the file. Additional details such as descriptions, dates, privacy, or notifications can be optionally added by expanding the Add Details section.
A new Goals tab has been added to give students and teachers a dedicated space for organizing and tracking goals. While the tab provides focused visibility, goal updates will still appear on the Portfolio Timeline to preserve the context of a student’s learning journey. This change supports more intentional goal setting while keeping learning artifacts and reflections connected.
Data Exchange Manager for CSV imports and exports
March 27, 2025
ManageBac+ now has a dedicated space for managing Data Exchange functions. In the initial release we are happy to announce that CSV imports and exports using OneRoster 1.2 standard formatting is supported.
This release implements a custom backend implementation of the CSV binding, extending OneRoster’s base specifications to meet ManageBac+’s functional requirements.
See our Data Exchange User Guide for full details and sample files.
Summary of updates to public API
March 20, 2025
We have made several changes to the public API endpoints for ManageBac+ since January this year. A summary of those changes can be seen in the API Manager > Changelog list. Please refer to the Enabling ManageBac+ Public API for Integrations guide for more details on using the public API.
The main focus of these updates is additional functions for schools using ManageBac+ for Attendance recording. Setting Homeroom attendance via API or submitting Attendance Excusal requests via API for example can enable schools to use external forms for excusal request submission or connect ManageBac+ to access via card swipe platforms.
Additionally, more extract functions for Attendance data have been added so that a more complete picture of Attendance information can be made available for schools.
We believe that ensuring the Attendance module is fully supported via API will facilitate ManageBac+ to remain the cornerstone of a school’s infrastructure. By having options for third-party systems to render ManageBac+’s Attendance data, a healthy school ecosystem can flourish.
Introducing ManageBac+
March 18, 2025
For over 15 years, ManageBac+ has been the trusted platform for schools delivering the International Baccalaureate (IB). As education has evolved, so too has our platform - expanding beyond the IB to support a broader range of curricula, school needs, and school types.
Now, we're taking the next step in our evolutionary journey with ManageBac+. Learn more.
IB DP Sciences IA results visibility update
March 17, 2025
We have updated the default visibility of results for Internal Assessments in all IB DP Sciences classes. The results for 'Practical Activities' are by default visible to students and parents in the classes. As shown above, the results for 'Scientific Investigations', 'Design Project,' 'Solution,' and 'Individual Investigation' type Internal Assessment assignment s are by default hidden from student view.
See our Managing Group 4 Experimental Sciences IAs (Practical Activity, Investigations, PSOW) help guide for more information on Group 4 internal assessments.
Prescribed titles for ToK Essay November 2025 session
March 6, 2025

Students in November session schools will now see the updated November 2025 titles when editing their TOK Essay Proposals. These were updated in English and Spanish.

February 10, 2025
We have added the ability to include Custom Rubrics on the transcript by enabling Custom Rubric in Transcript settings. This option is only available for report cards that were generated using the MCR templates. Please see our article Generating Academic Transcripts QuickStart Guide for more information.
IB DP Syllabi updates for Psychology, Computer Science, Design Technology, Visual Arts
