Quality Improvements

We released the following quality improvements:

• We’ve improved the authoring experience for creating variants on article and video content types. Now it’s easier to see the variant container and switch between your different variants.
  
  
• Learners can now return to the detail page of a course by opening the course and then clicking the course title at the top of the page. this is extra useful for sites that allow learners to repurchase content!
  
  
   Tip
  When using Panoramas, the Always display content detail page to learners? toggle must be enabled for this new click path to work for learners.
• The Central Asset Manager (CAM) is now accessible in the text editors for most advanced Ecommerce paywall and terms settings. To start using CAM objects in your content paywalls, go to Content > Manage Content > Click Content Title > go to Enrollment step > Ecommerce tab > open Advanced Settings > Edit Paywall & Terms. You will now see the CAM icon in the WYSIWYG editor!

 New Features

REGISTRATION

User Flow Update for Invalid Codes

We’re improving the experience of learners who try to enter invalid registration or redemption codes when registering for your Thought Industries instance.

Previously, learners who entered an invalid code were still registered in your main school, which led to confusion and extra administrative work to move learners to the right panorama and/or ensure they had access to the right content. Now, learners won’t be registered when they enter an invalid code, and we’re expanding the functionality of the translations available for our /redeem page so that you can enter a custom call-to-action that includes linked text.

 Tip

The translation field for this error is redemption-code.manual-code-not-found-error. You can even add a link here to give learners extra instructions or help!

 New Features

DASHBOARD

Return to Content Detail Page from Access Widget

We’re making it easier for learners to return to the detail page for content items they’ve already purchased so that they can repurchase or access important information that was included on the content details page, like instructor info or the syllabus.

We’ve added a translatable View Details button in the Learner Access Widget (translation is dashboard.details-page-link) and you can keep an eye out for related enhancements in upcoming releases.

 New Features

UI/UX ENHANCEMENTS

Customer CSS Page Redesign

The Custom Code page has a fresh look! It now includes an updated dark mode code editor, a vertical tab layout, a clearer Publish button, warning notifications for unsaved changes, and a new mini map (code outline) that highlights potential code errors. To check it out, go to Design > Theme > Custom Code. 

Note

All existing functionality has been maintained. There is no impact to your code or the learner experience.

 Quality Improvements

We released the following quality improvements:

• Certificate text labels will now wrap within the boundaries of a certificate image which means no more cutoff text on certificates!
  Tip
  Make sure to check the positioning of your certificate labels to ensure there is sufficient space between them so that labels do not overlap. To do this, go to your content or Central Asset Manager - wherever you’ve set up and uploaded your certificates. Check out this certificate help article for more guidance.

• Incorrect calculations in the “Average Time Per Visit” widget on the Client Engagement Dashboard.
