Release Updates June 2026

This week, Sarah Phoenix shares how the latest release fits into the bigger picture of where our product is headed.

This release introduces a major overhaul of our technical documentation to better support your development teams, alongside automated SEO enhancements that ensure your catalog remains accurate and visible to search engines without manual effort.

Also note the final reminder about our upcoming scheduled maintenance period scheduled for this weekend.

We've launched a completely redesigned Thought Industries Developer Hub at developer.thoughtindustries.com to help your technical teams build, integrate, and scale faster. The new hub brings every developer resource together under one intuitive navigation structure, with new tools and guides designed to make complex integrations and customizations easier to implement.

What's new:

• Expanded Guides & Tutorials — New end-to-end, step-by-step walkthroughs for common integration workflows, including Creating and Updating Courses via API, SSO Integration, Webhook Configuration, Bulk Operations, and External Ecommerce Integration — so your team can go from concept to working integration faster.
• Personalize-as-you-go API examples — A new API Credentials bar lets you drop in your subdomain and API key once and see the code examples on REST endpoint pages update to match your instance, making it faster to test and adapt calls to your environment.
• Copyable, multi-language code snippets — Tabbed code samples (such as GraphQL and cURL) with one-click copy lets you grab the exact snippet you need in the language you're working in.
• Unified information architecture — Helium, GraphQL, REST, BI Connector, Integrations, and Guides now live in a single, consistently organized sidebar, so resources that used to be scattered are now easy to find in one place.
• Site-wide documentation search — Search across all technical documentation from anywhere in the hub to jump straight to the page you need.
• Discover with AI — A new AI-powered assistant lets you highlight anything on a page, ask a question in plain language, and get a grounded answer with citations back to the docs to help you explore and build faster.
• Modernized platform — Rebuilt on a modern documentation stack (Docusaurus 3 / React 18) for faster page loads and a smoother, more reliable browsing experience.

And this is just the beginning. We're already building on this foundation — a reusable CSS component library, a JavaScript library, and more developer tooling are on the way, with much more to come.

🧭 Sitemap V3

Your course catalog now shows up better in search engines. Sitemap V3 (US only — EU coming soon) handles the technical setup automatically, so learners can find your content without you having to do anything.

• Always-current sitemap — Every released course, bundle, learning path, and custom page is automatically included in a search-engine-ready sitemap that refreshes within minutes of any catalog change. Search engines discover your content faster and more reliably — no manual submissions, no stale indexes. Unreleased content is never included./li
• Automatic canonical URLs — Every page now gets a canonical URL injected automatically. Canonical URLs tell search engines which version of a page is the authoritative one, preventing duplicate-content penalties and ensuring all ranking credit flows to the right page.

Chief Product Officer Sarah Phoenix puts this week’s release in perspective, explaining how it contributes to our evolving product strategy.

This week’s release introduces a transformative way for administrators to manage their academies through our new Claude Marketplace integration, while continuing to advance the learner experience with agentic AI capabilities and modernized platform security.

As part of our investment in agentic authoring experiences, we're introducing Thought Industries for Claude in early access. Teams can now interact with academy content and authoring workflows directly from Claude using a plugin.

• Author and manage academy content directly in Claude — browse your catalog, create course drafts, and rewrite lesson content through natural conversation, no complex UI navigation required.
• AI-assisted, draft-only writes — every update stays in draft until you manually publish in the TI admin UI, so nothing goes live without your explicit approval.
• Three tiers of intelligence built in — Actions for quick catalog lookups, Routines for structured workflows like outline generation and lesson rewrites, and Playbooks for full end-to-end authoring sessions.

To give this a try, check out this article.

We introduced interactive action cards in the Conversational AI Learning experience to provide clear, inline confirmation for nudges and course enrollments.

Successful enrollments show a confirmation card with the course name and a direct link to start learning. If enrollment fails (e.g., full sessions, unmet prerequisites, restricted access), learners will see a dedicated error card with actionable next steps like joining a waitlist or viewing required prerequisites.

Basic eCommerce Account Page Access After Subscription Cancellation

We resolved an issue where learners on Basic eCommerce (Stripe-direct) instances were unable to access their account page after canceling a subscription. Previously, the account page at /learn/account would fail to load or hang on a loading spinner following a cancellation, preventing users from managing their profile, payments, or other subscriptions.

With this fix, the account page now renders correctly post-cancellation, and canceled subscriptions accurately display their "active until" date. We also implemented defensive guards to ensure the user interface remains accessible even if individual data points are missing or encounter errors during loading.

Improved Reliability for Bulk Event Imports

We have resolved an issue where virtual and in-person events created via the bulk import tool sometimes failed to appear in the Events List search results. Previously, these events were created in the database but remained "invisible" in the UI until a manual search reindex was performed.

With this fix, imported events are automatically indexed and become searchable immediately after the import job completes. Additionally, we have updated the bulk import tool to ensure that any background processing errors are accurately reported as "Failed" in the job logs, providing admins with better visibility into the success of their imports.

Improved Survey Reporting Accuracy After Content Modifications

We have resolved a reporting issue where learners who had already completed a survey would trigger a duplicate, blank entry in reporting if they revisited the survey after an administrator had modified the questions.

This fix introduces server-side idempotency to ensure that the platform correctly identifies and presents a learner’s existing completed attempt rather than creating a new, empty record upon page load. This ensures that survey data remains accurate and free of misleading "null" entries in both the platform UI and administrative reports (Redshift).

Consistent Quiz Review Styling for Multi-Select Questions

We resolved a visual inconsistency in the quiz review state where correctly answered multi-select questions (Select All That Apply) were incorrectly outlined in red. While learners correctly received credit for these answers, the post-quiz review now properly displays green success styling to match the active attempt state, eliminating confusion for learners and Admins.
