Release Updates February 2026

Sarah Phoenix, Chief Product Officer, offers context on this release and its place in our continued product evolution.

This release continues to strengthen some of the tools high-scale customers use to extend and operationalize the platform, and includes continued investment into accessibility.

Inactive Course Navigation No Longer Receives Keyboard Focus

When course navigation elements are hidden or inactive, they are no longer reachable via keyboard navigation. This prevents learners from tabbing to off-screen or unusable elements and improves clarity for both keyboard-only and screen reader users across all course page types.

Enhanced Checkout Tracking for Learning Paths

For teams that rely on checkout tracking scripts to drive revenue reporting and downstream automation, this release improves the consistency and reliability of learning path data in cart and order confirmation events. All checkout tracking scripts (add-to-cart, remove-from-cart, and checkout) can now reliably access ID, slug, and SKU for both courses and learning paths

More Flexible Learning Path Provisioning via API

Teams that automate user provisioning and access through the create/update user API now have more control and consistency across courses and learning paths. You can assign learning paths by slug, SKU, or ID—whether you’re creating or updating a user, and safely combine these identifiers with the replaceLearningPathAccess property. In addition, both replaceCourseAccess and replaceLearningPathAccess now operate consistently with slugs, SKUs, and IDs, making it easier to keep platform access aligned with your source of truth systems.

New UpdateCourseStatus GraphQL Endpoint

The UpdateCourseStatus mutation lets you set a learner’s course status to started, not-completed, or completed by course slug, keeping learner dashboards and admin views in sync when course progress is managed programmatically.

• Order field empty in the quizattemptresponses Table in BI 2.0
• License_id missing for Assignments w/ enable discussion assignment
• Improved Resume Behavior for Back-to-Back SCORM/xAPI Topics
  • In courses where Force Linear Progress is enabled, learners will now return to the last SCORM or xAPI topic they were viewing when resuming a course, even if that topic was still in progress. When Force Linear Progress is disabled, learners will resume on the last completed topic. This provides more predictable resume behavior in courses with consecutive SCORM/xAPI topics.
• Pagination on Course Actions and LP Endpoints Causes Missing Data When Multiple Actions Occur With The Same Timestamp
• Subscription Purchases Endpoint Returns Inaccurate Pricing Data When a Subscription is Purchased Alongside Another Ecommerce Item in the Same Transaction
  • We’ve corrected an issue where the Subscription Purchases endpoint and related subscription reporting (e.g., Subscription Transaction Log) could over-report subscription revenue when a subscription and another eCommerce item (such as a course or collection) were purchased in the same Stripe invoice. Going forward, subscription analytics will use the subscription line-item amount instead of the full invoice total. As a result, reported subscription revenue for new Stripe transactions of this type may decrease to reflect the true subscription amount. This change applies only to new data after the fix; historical analytics are not backfilled.

Sarah Phoenix, our new Chief Product Officer, provides context for this release and how it fits into our evolving product strategy.

This release focuses on strengthening global ecommerce reliability, maintaining platform stability for Helium deployments, and continuing our steady progress on accessibility improvements across core learner workflows.

Sign-in page supports text resizing without horizontal scrolling

The sign-in and registration pages now properly reflow when text is resized or when viewed on small screens. Learners who increase text size or use zoom no longer lose access to form labels or required fields, ensuring the page remains usable without horizontal scrolling. This improves access for users with low vision and aligns with WCAG reflow requirements.

The following Helium packages are updated with Volta to pin to the Node version v22 (and a matching Npm version shipped with the Node version):

• create-helium-app@2.1.0
• @thoughtindustries/helium-server@3.1.0
• @thoughtindustries/helium-tailwind-preset@2.1.0
• @thoughtindustries/helium-template-essentials@2.1.0
• @thoughtindustries/helium-template@2.1.0

Impact on existing Helium deployments:

• These changes have no impact on existing Helium deployments, nor on the the workflow for initiating the Helium app.
• If you wish to use an NPM package that requires a minimum of Node v22, we recommend you initiate the latest Helium app. We recommend using Volta during development of Helium app to align the Node/Npm versions between local development and Helium deployment. If you haven’t already been using Volta, it’s recommended to initiate the latest Helium app and install Volta.

Unreleased Content Purchasable via Direct Link for Global Ecommerce

Unreleased but purchasable content can now be purchased via direct link for global ecommerce implementations, matching the behavior supported in legacy ecommerce. This enables common workflows such as private events and limited-audience offerings. The result is more predictable purchasing behavior and fewer workarounds for controlled access scenarios.

Multicurrency pricing in the List Content API

The List Content REST API now returns full multicurrency pricing data via a prices[] array in addition to the legacy priceInCents field, improving accuracy for global ecommerce workflows and reporting.

Sarah Phoenix, our new Chief Product Officer, provides context for this release and how it fits into our evolving product strategy.

This release focuses on two areas that directly impact how teams scale and experience the platform day to day: extending TI into connected systems and improving usability across common learner and admin workflows.

Slideshow page – Ensure image alt text is accessible to screen readers

Slideshow image alt text must be accessible to screen readers so that users making use of screen readers understand the content of these images.

Course navigation – Optimize for keyboard navigation

When the course navigation menu is visibly inactive / hidden, it should not be accessible via keyboard navigation.

Enforce key isolation and vendor uniqueness for External Activities

We have enhanced the security and flexibility of External Activity authentication. This update moves away from the previous model where a single, generic API key was shared across all third-party providers. Admins can now manage unique security keys for specific vendors, providing a more secure, granular connection while maintaining full backward compatibility.

What's New

• From Generic to Granular– Transition from one site-wide key to unique keys for specific vendor domains, ensuring each provider has its own dedicated secure handshake.
• Intelligent Key Mapping – The platform automatically detects the correct key based on the activity's URL. If the domain matches a registered vendor, that specific key is used for the JWT.
• Primary Key Fallback – To prevent broken links, any domain that does not have a specific vendor entry will automatically default to using your Primary API Key.
• Centralized Vendor Registry – A new "Vendor API Keys" section in Security Settings allows you to map Base URLs to dedicated keys, making it easy to rotate or revoke access for individual vendors.

How to Use & Migration Best Practices

• Register Your Vendors: Navigate to Settings > Security and use the Vendor API Keys section to generate keys for your specific providers.
• Immediate Activation for Existing URLs: Note that if you add a new vendor key for a URL already in use by an External Activity, the system will immediately begin using that new specific key instead of the primary key.
• Coordinate Migration: Because activation is immediate upon saving the domain, ensure your third-party provider has updated their endpoint to accept the new vendor-specific key before you register it in the platform.
• Test & Enforce: Once the provider confirms the new key is active on their end, the platform handles the handshake automatically for all matching URLs.
• Leverage the Fallback: Use the Primary Key fallback as a safety net. Only register a Vendor Key once you are ready to move away from the generic site-wide credential for that specific partner.
Note

This enhancement to External Activities does not affect existing functionality for Primary and Ancillary API keys.

Site Builder Usability Improvements

We’ve made targeted usability improvements to the Site Builder editor to help admins and designers work more efficiently when building and previewing pages and layouts. These updates build on recent Site Builder enhancements and continue to reduce friction in high-frequency content management workflows.

Take a look at what's new

• Widget search and discovery – Admins can now search available widgets directly within the editor, with real-time filtering and clear reset controls. This makes it faster to find the right widget, especially in environments with many widget options.
• Improved preview mode – Preview controls have been redesigned with clearer affordances and improved layout, including easier access to “View Live Page” and more consistent visual hierarchy, helping teams review changes with confidence.
• Streamlined editor navigation – A simplified navigation experience reduces visual clutter while editing, allowing admins to stay focused on page content and layout without unnecessary distractions.
