Our Product and Engineering teams closed out 2021 with a number of product improvements and new features. We’re featuring three of those in this month’s release notes:
- Follow another participant’s activity in a live interview
- Advanced Assessment tasks now support multiple terminals
- Configure custom scores for interview templates
Follow another participant’s activity in a live interview
In a live interview session where participants are editing code in just one file, it is easy to see what changes are being made. However, in sessions with multiple files, it can be challenging to see what changes a participant is making and in which file.
CodeSignal Interview users, both candidates and interviewers, now have the ability to follow the activity of any other participant—across files and tabs, and within a single file.

Advanced Assessment tasks now support multiple terminals
Users of both CodeSignal Interview and CodeSignal Test with Advanced Assessments turned on now have the ability to open multiple terminal windows during a live interview or automated assessment.
Developers can now run multiple processes in parallel across multiple terminals when developing and testing their application—for example, hosting the application and running the server simultaneously.

Configure custom scores for interview templates
Interview templates make it easy to conduct a structured interview in CodeSignal—meaning that each interviewer uses the same set of coding tasks or questions, in the same order, with each candidate for a role.
Now, interview templates are even more powerful by allowing company users to configure a custom score for each task in an interview template.

Other Updates
Here's a comprehensive list of everything else we pushed live in December, grouped by product area:
Certify
- It is now possible to programmatically configure a custom expiration date for certification requests from a specific company on the assessment level
- This expiration date will be used when sending all kinds of requests, including those created via ATS integration or GraphQL.
- New pop-up modal explains to candidates that their connection is spotty (if applicable) as part of proctoring re-setup flow.
- CodeSignal will now distinguish feedback survey results from practice tests from feedback given after a real Certify assessment
Test
- Improved UX for adding tasks to a Test slot: it is easier to tell whether you are adding one task to a task slot or adding multiple tasks to a task slot with randomization.
Tasks
- CodeSignal now has support for the Flutter SDK
- Only currently available in tasks created by the CodeSignal content team; customers cannot create their own tasks with Flutter.
- For now, the Flutter task is only available in Tests.
API
- The list of candidates with expired Certify requests can now be queried via the GraphQL API
- The ‘greenhouseCandidateId’ and ‘greenhouseApplicationId’ can also be queried for all Certify requests.
Integrations
- Greenhouse integration setup UI clarified so the client user’s email is clearly not saved if it used to look up the corresponding Greenhouse user ID
Product navigation
- All Certify assessments now have new logos
- CodeSignal support is more discoverable for client users in the top right corner of the CodeSignal dashboard
- CodeSignal’s support interface will now only appear when the client user clicks on “Contact Support”.
- Client interviewers can participate in a one-time Interview feedback survey upon completing an Interview
- Client users can volunteer to provide feedback any time in our B2B application via the new “Feedback Survey” link in the CodeSignal dashboard
Infrastructure
- Updated batching process for sending out reminder emails to candidates to take an assessment to avoid lag
- File names for persistent sessions will now always be in sync with their coderunner
