š© Quality Improvement
We released the following quality improvements:
- Page completion follows relevant completion criteria.
within a course if a page has relevant course completion criteria attached, the page will be marked as complete at the same time the completion criteria is marked as complete. For example, if a course has a āSCORM completeā completion criterion, the relevant SCORM page will only be marked complete when a ācompleteā status is returned by the SCORMĀ object. Previously, some page types with completion criteria attached were marked as complete based on the ā# of seconds required for completionā page setting, sending conflicting messages to the learner.
š Bug Fixes
We released fixes for the following:
- The display of an item in a catalog widget is showing extra white text at the bottom and the View Details text is not aligned with the price.
- All Columns in the Panorama Sublicenses Page are sorting with whole page refresh and the cursor is displayed incorrectly.
- Email notifications for certificate expiration are sometimes not sent.
- For EU instances, the subject line in learner notification emails is not correctly displaying substitutions.
- E-Commerce Tag Filter not returning all results for certain tags.
- In certain scenarios, courses deleted from a milestone in a learning path will still be displayed to learners.
- If a catalog is using tags to filter Content to Display in Widget, searching using terms that generate no results creates a popup error.

š Early Announcement
SETTINGS: change to Default Link Behavior for Cookie Banner
Our June 7th release will include a ticket that removes the hyperlink to the Thought Industries corporate site privacy policy from the default cookie banner. The actual default verbiage will remain unchanged:
We use necessary cookies to make our site work. By clicking āacceptā, you agree that we may also set optional analytics and third party behavioral advertising cookies to help us improve our site and to provide information to third parties. For more information on how these cookies work, please see our privacy policy.
Who is affected?
This change will only affect your instance if you have enabled the cookie banner but have not changed the default privacy policy link, in which case youāll need to take action to avoid a broken link with a āpage not foundā error. SeeĀ recommended actionsĀ below.
On the other hand, if youāve already customized this banner to remove the link to our site privacy policy and replace it with your own platform privacy policy, then youāre already conforming to best practices and this change will have no impact for your Thought Industries instance.
Recommended actions
If youāre using the default cookie banner, we recommend updating the translation to link your platform privacy policy:
- Log in as an admin and navigate toĀ Translations.
- Search for the
cookies.statement
translation in the General category. - Edit this translation to link to your privacy policy and make any other edits necessary for your own cookie notice/policy.
Tip
You can also read more about cookie policy functionality in our article on Configuring Cookie Policy and Settings.

We released the following quality improvements:
- Released on 12 April 2023: You can now limit the number of days learners have access to gifted and bulk purchase content. Previously, theĀ Limit days of access after enrollment?Ā setting did not apply to learners who gained access to content via gifting or bulk purchasing. With the release of this optimization, any access limit you establish with this setting will also be respected for gifted or bulk purchase content.
š Note
This change will only apply to purchases made after this release.

- Learner is unable to view an earned certificate if āalways regenerate certificatesā setting is active and the certificate template is updated.
- Page cannot be found error when a panorama admin clicks on the link to āUsersā from the Learner Import Page.

š„ New Features
COMMUNICATIONS:Ā Improved Admin Control of System Notifications
Weāve added a System Notifications page that allows you to granularly control many of the system notifications that are automatically sent to learners based on certain triggers. Previously, these notifications could not be individually disabled.
see the new System Notifications support article for details on System Notifications and Default Platform Emails to Learners > How to Use System Notifications.
View the page atĀ Communications > system Notifications.
š© Quality Improvements
We released the following quality improvements:
- Updates to learning path access and status updates in a learner profile: when an admin visits theĀ AccessĀ tab of a learnerās profile, they will now have a better experience when completing a search for a learning path. Specifically, the learnerās list of enrolled learning paths now displays separately, below the learning path search bar. This update also exposes the learning path status, which was not previously visible within this interface. Admins now have the ability to change this status of the learning path (e.g. started, complete). There is no change to learner experience with this update.
Ā
- Improved learner experience for webinars:Ā Webinars will now launch in a new tab for a learner, regardless of webinar provider.
Accessibility Improvements
We released the following accessibility improvement:
- WCAG:Ā Ensure that color is not the sole means of communicating the presence of a hyperlink or error message. Add other visual indicators, such as underlining the link or a descriptive āErrorā label.
