Release Overview
Compass for Windows Update Information:
We are releasing the update for Compass that was delayed in January and it will now be available in all languages on Tuesday, February 14th 2023, Mountain Standard Time. This update is a major update that includes performance enhancements, security updates and some bug fixes. Additionally, we’ve added support for the following new features:
- Secure Browser Update: A mandatory Secure Browser update will be downloaded in the background the first time Compass is launched after the release of this update. This update is approximately 150MB and must be completed before testing.
- System Check Page: The System Check page has been expanded to confirm your Certiport Authorized Testing Center is configured correctly and that your device is compatible with the Compass for Windows software.
- Configuration Exams and Exam Previews: Over the coming year, we will be releasing Configuration Exams for a wider range of our Certification programs which will allow Proctors and Technicians to confirm that Compass is installed and configured correctly. These will be available to launch from the updated System Check Page. Exam Previews are designed to decrease Test Candidates' anxiety, while also providing an additional layer of confidence that Compass is installed and configured correctly.
