[Release notes 2025](https://info.lexplore.com/en/support/release-notes?hsLang=en#release-notes-2025) # Product updates | 2025-02-04 ## This release brings new features for the E-reader and new settings that let you limit the book selection for students in the Reading App. - New features for the E-reader - Limit book selection for students --- ### New features for the E-reader We’re excited to announce improvements to the E-reader, addressing previous issues with pausing audio in books with audio. These issues have now been resolved, ensuring a smoother and more user-friendly experience. In addition, we’ve introduced a new toolbar for these books, packed with features to give readers greater control. The toolbar appears when the mouse is moved and disappears after a period of inactivity. **Here’s what’s new:** - Start or pause audio playback with the **Play/Pause** button - Easily adjust the volume in books with audio using the **Volume** button - Turn highlighted text on or off in books with audio with the **Highlight** button - Control the speed of audio playback via the **Speed** button - Customise the text size to your preference with the **Text size** button ![](https://info.lexplore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-27-2025-08-02-25-7615-AM.png?width=600&height=311&name=image-png-Jan-27-2025-08-02-25-7615-AM.png) **Please note:** - In e-books that do not include audio, the Play/Pause button and the highlight feature will not work. - Not all e-books with audio include highlighted text, so the highlight feature will not work in those cases. - Some e-books with audio have been produced with a play button on the pages. In these cases, the built-in page controls must be used instead of the audio controls in the toolbar. --- ### Limit book selection for students In the portal, you have several options for what to show students in the Reading App. Previously, you could only change whether the Quiz and Reading Friends were visible in the menu. With the large number of books in the Reading App, it can also be overwhelming for students. That’s why we’ve added a feature in the portal where you can customise the types of books each student can view in the library. You can find these settings on the admin page, where you see an overview of the students. **Here’s what’s new:** - **Show books recommended by teachers** – choose whether students should be shown books recommended by teachers. - **Show books recommended by Lexplore** – choose whether students should be shown books recommended by Lexplore. - **Show all other bookshelves** – control whether students should be shown other bookshelves or only the recommended books. ![](https://info.lexplore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-27-2025-07-58-39-9331-AM.png?width=600&height=281&name=image-png-Jan-27-2025-07-58-39-9331-AM.png)   The product team at Lexplore and I hope you’ll enjoy these changes – feel free to reach out if you have any feedback 💙 --- 💬 *Have thoughts or questions?* **Feel free to reach out -
