Select most valuable contributions for Discussion on Topic

The 'Select most valuable contributions' learning step that was already available for the Discussion on Work activity, can now also be added to Discussion on Topic. Both the teacher settings and student experience are very similar to how this learning step functions in Discussion on Work.

Accessibility notice when students download submissions

Whenever a student downloads a review in PDF form, they will see a warning pop up on their screen informing them that their peers' review document doesn't fully conform with all accessibility guidelines for PDF documents. The student can opt out of this reminder by ticking the 'Don't show this again' box.
