Concurrent Timer and Question Skipping for Test Pages

Admins can now enable both the Time Limit and Allow Learner to Skip Questions settings simultaneously on Test page types. Previously, these settings were mutually exclusive, meaning enabling one would automatically disable and grey out the other.

With this update, learners can navigate freely between questions while a countdown timer remains active. This includes full support for the Test Summary page, allowing learners to review which questions they have skipped and jump back to them without the timer being hidden or interrupted.

To better reflect how settings are saved and displayed to learners, the admin setting previously labeled "Display Assessment Results Page?" has been updated to "Persist Assessment Results Page?". This clarifies that when enabled, learners will continue to see their results screen even if they navigate away and return to the assessment page.

Expanded Asset Library Integration for Images

Admins can now utilize the Asset Library across several additional areas of the platform to manage images more efficiently. Previously, certain image fields required manual uploads for each instance; this update introduces the ability to select existing images directly from your Asset Library, ensuring brand consistency and reducing manual effort.

When updating an image in these locations, you will now see an option to Select from Asset Library alongside the standard upload tool. Because these images are linked as references, any updates made to the master file within the Asset Library will automatically propagate to all linked locations, including:

• Content Detail & Catalog Pages: Display consistent hero and thumbnail images across all content types.
• Page Builder Widgets: Use library assets in site and layout widgets, such as Hero and Image blocks.
• Learner Notifications: Streamline the branding of automated email bodies.
• Ecommerce: Manage images for catalog items and checkout confirmations centrally.

This update is backwards compatible; any previously uploaded images will continue to function as expected, but can be replaced with Asset Library references at any time.

Secure LinkedIn Certificate Shared Links with Scoped Tokens

We have updated how certificates are shared to LinkedIn to improve privacy and ensure sharing only occurs through intentional learner actions.

• On-Demand Secure Sharing: LinkedIn verification links are now generated only when a learner initiates a share. These links use high-entropy, unique tokens ({{/c/s/ {token}}}) instead of static URLs, ensuring certificates are only accessible through explicit user action.
• Stricter Access Controls: The system now properly enforces the "Enable Public Certificate Sharing" setting at the URL level, preventing unauthorized users from viewing certificates via direct links when public sharing is disabled.
• No Workflow Disruptions: These security enhancements are automated and require no changes to your administrative settings or the learner's sharing experience.

Event Detail Page Accessibility: Removing Inactive Elements from Focus Order

This improvement enhances accessibility for learners using keyboard navigation by ensuring that inactive elements are not included in the focus order. As a result, users navigating the event detail page will experience a more streamlined and efficient interaction.

This change minimizes confusion and frustration, allowing users to focus on actionable items and improving overall usability for individuals relying on keyboard navigation and assistive technologies.

Reliable Course Slug Reuse and Redirects

We have resolved an issue where reusing a course slug would incorrectly redirect users to the original course's updated URL instead of the new course. This occurred because historical redirect data was being prioritized over current slug ownership. With this fix, the platform now correctly invalidates stale redirects when a slug is reassigned, ensuring that direct links always resolve to the current owner of the slug.

Learning Path Milestone Updates Sync Correctly to Reporting

We have resolved an issue where replacing a course within a learning path milestone did not trigger an update to the milestone's "last updated" timestamp.

This previously prevented the change from being synced to the reporting database (Redshift), leading to discrepancies between the platform UI and admin reports.

This update ensures that any modifications to courses within a milestone are immediately recognized by our data synchronization processes, providing admins with accurate, up-to-date reporting on learning path configurations.

Improved Accuracy for Scheduled Learner Notifications

We have resolved an issue where learner notifications with "exclude" conditions were sending incorrectly when scheduled for specific dates.

This fix ensures that exclusion logic accurately accounts for all completion sources—including both learner-driven and admin-driven completions. This update improves the reliability of scheduled email campaigns and ensures learners receive only the communications intended for them.

Standalone VILT Launch Button Visibility

We have fixed a regression where the "Start VILT/Webinar" button was incorrectly appearing for standalone virtual events scheduled far in the future.

Previously, this button remained active, allowing learners to attempt to launch meetings before the scheduled date. The button will now correctly remain inactive (greyed out) until the day of the event, aligning with standard platform behavior for scheduled sessions.

Improved Content Access Controls

We have resolved an issue where learners could bypass section access dates by using the "Show Purchasing Options Or Gift" widget on course detail pages.

Previously, this allowed learners to enter their email and be redirected to the start of a course, even if the content was gated by a future release date. With this fix, all course entry routes now strictly respect configured access dates, ensuring learners only see content when it is scheduled for release.

Consistent Detail Page Access in Panorama

We have resolved an issue where Learning Path detail pages remained accessible via the Learner Access widget even when the "Always display content detail page" setting was disabled.

Learning Paths now consistently respect Panorama display settings, ensuring admins have full control over content visibility and enrollment workflows.

Featured Content Carousel Widget Save Improvements

We fixed an issue in the Page Builder where editing manual items within the Featured Content Carousel widget did not automatically trigger the "Save" button for the page layout. Previously, administrators had to make an additional change to the widget's overall settings (such as the title) to persist edits made to individual carousel items.

With this update, any changes made to internal items within the carousel will correctly activate the Save button, ensuring your content updates are captured and published without requiring unnecessary manual workarounds.

API Update: Standardized Content Status Filtering

We have updated the List Content API endpoint (/incoming/v2/content) to ensure consistent behavior across all content types. Previously, querying for status:deleted incorrectly returned Learning Paths, while other content types were properly excluded.

With this fix, the endpoint no longer returns deleted content for any content type, aligning with our standard API support for draft, published, and pending statuses. This ensures data consistency for developers and integrations relying on our API.

Improved Error Handling for Bulk Session Imports

We have improved the reliability and transparency of the Bulk Import tool when creating sessions for courses using pre- and post-event structures (VILTs and ILTs).

Previously, if an import job encountered validation errors across all rows—such as when attempting to import sessions into unsupported course types—the background job would incorrectly report a "Successful" status despite failing to create any sessions.

With this update, the platform now correctly identifies these failures, marking the background job as Failed and providing specific per-row error details in the failure logs. This ensures admins have accurate visibility into the status of their bulk operations and can troubleshoot import issues more effectively.

Localized Onboarding Survey Dropdowns

Dropdown menus in onboarding surveys now correctly display localized placeholder text based on the learner's language. Previously, the "Select a Response" prompt remained in English for all users.

This fix ensures a consistent, professional experience for non-English learners starting their training.

 

In this launch, Sarah Phoenix, our Chief Product Officer, provides her perspective on its impact within our broader product strategy.

This release delivers a focused set of usability and reliability improvements across assessments, reflections, discussions, grading, asset management, events, and external activity workflows—so learner actions are handled more predictably and admins can move through day-to-day tasks with fewer surprises.
