As of January 26th 2026, there will be a 'NEW LOOK' dashboard for external practice assessors and supervisors who have an external PebblePad account. 

Please see what changes to expect in the information below. Taken from the release notes (a link to the notes is available at the bottom of this page).

What's Changing?

The new dashboard is organised into clear sections, designed to be easy to navigate and accessible to all users.
 

Section 1: Overview

Displays the user’s account and organisation details, with the ability to switch organisations if applicable.
Screenshot of the “Overview” section of the External Assessor Dashboard. The left panel contains a welcome message explaining that the page lists items shared with the user’s account and provides a link to learn more about the dashboard. The right panel displays the external user account email address, the organization name “PebblePad University” with its logo, and a button labeled “Change organisation.”
Section 2: Items shared for assessment

A clear, easy-to-scan table showing items shared for feedback and assessment, including:

  • Title (clickable link)
  • Author
  • Date shared
  • Comments
  • Feedback
  • Assignments (clickable to view associated workspace and assignment names)
Screenshot of the “Items Shared for Assessment” section of the External Assessor Dashboard. The description states that the table contains items learners have shared for feedback and assessment. The table includes columns for Item, Author, Shared on, Comments, Feedback, and Submissions. Three items are listed, each showing the title “Record of Hours for Unit 1” as a clickable link, author names, share dates, and numeric values for comments and feedback. The first item expands to show two associated workspaces: “AVH Civil Engineering (2025/26) Assignment #1” and “Assignment #2.”

 

Section 3: Items shared with you

A separate table for items shared for viewing only (no assessment permissions), with the same columns and functionality as the assessment table.

When there are no items available in either table, a useful link to the Help Hub will be displayed.
Screenshot of the “Items Shared With You” section of the External Assessor Dashboard. The description explains that this table contains items shared directly with the user’s account for viewing only, with a note that these items are read-only. The table is empty, displaying a message “No direct shares” and a link to the Help Hub for more information on requesting submission access.
Section 4: Workspaces

A simple list of workspaces that the assessor has access to, displayed as clickable links for quick navigation.
Screenshot of the “Workspaces” section of the External Assessor Dashboard. The section includes a description stating that the table lists ATLAS workspaces the user has been added to, granting permission to assess learner submissions. Below the description is a single-row table with the workspace name “AVH Civil Engineering (2025/26)” displayed as a clickable link.

**Deleting shares - this feature will not be available in the new dashboard, but may be a feature in future updates.**
