Release Updates June 2026

📣 From the CPO

This week, Chief Product Officer Sarah Phoenix highlights the ideas and priorities that shaped the latest release.

You’ve told us that asset manager usability and availability across the platform is a multiplier for your content management efforts. This week, we’re continuing our investment in this area by streamlining the content creation workflow with a modernized and more intuitive asset management experience.

📆 Scheduled Platform Maintenance — Upcoming Saturday Windows

We're planning two Saturday maintenance events over the coming weeks to upgrade our SCORM infrastructure — the engine that powers all SCORM and xAPI content playback, and its underlying database. These upgrades improve performance, security, and long-term reliability.

Important

Important: Phase 1 below involves platform-wide scheduled downtime, not just SCORM/xAPI — please plan around the full Phase 1 window for your region.

🔎 What to Expect

During Phase 1's regional cutover, the entire Thought Industries platform may be temporarily unavailable — including authoring tools, learner dashboards, registration, checkout, reporting, and integrations, in addition to SCORM and xAPI playback. We recommend treating the full 3-hour regional window as a scheduled platform maintenance period.
Comprehensive data integrity is guaranteed for all student scores, progress, completions, and bookmarks across both events.
Active sessions during Phase 1 (SCORM/xAPI courses, registrations, checkout flows, API integrations) should be retried after the maintenance window. SCORM and xAPI sessions resume from the learner's last bookmark — no progress is lost.

Phase 2 — Further SCORM Performance Optimization

Category	Details
Date & Time	Schedule TBD, no sooner than the Saturday after Phase 1 stabilizes
Outcome	A much smaller event focused on faster SCORM engine startup and automatic scaling during traffic spikes. This change will not cause or require downtime.

📋 Action items for your team

Generally, no action is necessary. Content for SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI will remain fully operational after the upgrade — no changes to uploading, launching, scoring, or reporting.
Please plan around Phase 1's regional 3-hour window as full-platform maintenance (not SCORM-only).
To help us manage the schedule, please reach out to Success at success@thoughtindustries.com if you have major SCORM-related events or critical platform usage planned for any upcoming Saturdays.

Note

If you have any questions, please reach out to Success at success@thoughtindustries.com or your Account Manager.

Quality Improvements

We released the following quality improvements:

New Asset Library Panel Experience

We’ve redesigned the Asset Library side panel, the tool used to insert assets directly into course content, to provide a cleaner, more intuitive experience for course builders. This update focuses on improving scannability and reducing the clicks required to find and manage your assets.

Key enhancements include:

Streamlined Asset Table: We’ve optimized the layout by removing redundant columns and allowing tags to wrap naturally under asset titles. This ensures your most important information is always readable without truncation.
Instant Asset Previews: You can now hover over any row to see a type-aware preview of the content (such as image thumbnails or text snippets) before inserting it, ensuring you have the right file every time.
Direct Actions: We’ve replaced nested dropdown menus with one-click "Insert" and "Edit" buttons, speeding up your content creation workflow.
Improved Feedback: A new confirmation toast appears immediately after an asset is added, providing clear visual feedback that your action was successful.

Note

These changes apply specifically to the asset selection panel within the course authoring experience and do not change the main Central Asset Library management page. This feature is available for users with Central Assets permissions enabled.

Bug Fixes

We released fixes for the following:

Corrected Redirects for Panorama Custom Domains

We have resolved an issue where learners using Panorama instances with custom domains were intermittently redirected to incorrect sign-in or sign-out pages. This occurred primarily when a user had a previous session cookie, causing the platform to incorrectly prioritize the parent site's host configuration over the specific Panorama domain.

With this fix, the sign-in and sign-out flows now consistently respect the custom host of the Panorama, ensuring learners and admins are directed to the correct authentication pages and maintaining a seamless login experience across all domains.

Reliable Course Completion Webhooks for External Activity

We have resolved an issue where course completions marked via the POST /v2/courseExternalActivity API endpoint did not consistently trigger the expected webhooks.

Previously, certain parameter combinations, such as providing transcript fields or certificate URLs, would issue a certificate but fail to update the course status to "completed," preventing the courseCompletion webhook from firing. This fix ensures that all successful API-driven completions accurately update learner status and trigger both courseCompletion and courseAction events. Additionally, invalid certificate requests now return clear error messages instead of failing silently, improving troubleshooting for integrated workflows.
