Time for spring cleaning! April's updates center on making content creation faster and the Question Library easier to keep tidy. Cosmo now carries authors from question discovery all the way through creation in one flow, rich text descriptions support tables, and the Question Library filters out inactive content so active items surface first.
In this article:
- Discover and author with Cosmo is now one continuous flow
- Tables in the rich text editor
- A cleaner Question Library
- Verilog and SystemVerilog in the IDE
- Other updates
Discover and author with Cosmo is now one continuous flow
Authors can move from searching the question library to creating a brand-new custom question with Cosmo without leaving the experience. Previously, question creation required switching into a separate Authoring flow; now Cosmo hands off seamlessly when a matching question doesn't exist yet.
Tables in the rich text editor
Question descriptions built in the UI now support tables in the rich text editor. Authors can lay out structured prompts such as specs, inputs and outputs, or comparison grids directly in the question body without workarounds.
A cleaner Question Library
Questions that haven't been used in any assessment, interview, or Learn activity in six or more months are now marked "Inactive for X months" and hidden from default search results, so active content surfaces first. Turn off the recently-used filter to see inactive questions, or use the new sort drop-down to order alphabetically or by most recently used.
Verilog and SystemVerilog in the IDE
Verilog (.v, .vh) and SystemVerilog (.sv, .svh) are now recognized languages in the classic IDE, with full syntax highlighting. This expands the hardware and low-level engineering roles you can assess natively.
Other Updates
- Manual grading simplified: "Mark as graded" has been removed from the assessments list to declutter the view, and the add-score modal now defaults to 0. You can still grade individual assessments when needed.
- The suspicious activity tooltip was updated to make it clearer that CodeSignal surfaces signals while the final call is yours.
- Conversation questions now include a mute button, with a warning after three back-to-back interruptions to help candidates in noisy or speaker-heavy setups.
- Cosmo can now author whiteboard questions, alongside coding, multiple-choice, and conversation questions.
- Frameworks renamed to Certified Assessments across the Browse All page and individual assessment pages. The URL moved from /explore-frameworks/ to /explore-assessments/; existing links redirect automatically.
