April 16 2026: New Sidebar, Bulk User Data Requests and more

New Features

You can now navigate the entire application through a redesigned sidebar with smooth animations, integrated chat, and context-aware content panels.

Key capabilities:

Smooth Transitions: Switch between sections with fluid, animated navigation
Integrated Chat: Access all your chat channels directly from the sidebar without leaving your current page
Course Content Panel: Browse course materials and content blocks in a dedicated side panel
Pin Courses: Pin your favorite courses for instant one-click access
Collapsible Sections: Organize your sidebar with expandable and collapsible groups
Quick Account Access: Reach your settings, notifications, and account options from the sidebar footer
Secondary Sidebar: Get contextual tools and filters displayed alongside your content
Smart Context: The sidebar automatically highlights relevant navigation items based on where you are

How to use: The new sidebar is automatically active on the left side of your dashboard. Explore pinned courses, chat channels, and account options directly from the navigation.

User Data Collection

You can now request specific data from users in bulk, such as personal information or statistical fields, and track the completion status of each request directly in user management.

How to use: Go to Organization > User Management, select the users you need data from, and choose “Data Collection Request” from the bulk actions menu. Users will receive a notification prompting them to fill in the requested fields.

Appointment Creator 3.0

You can now create appointments with a completely redesigned experience that suggests rooms, courses, and participants, detects scheduling overlaps with cohort members, and offers a compact view for quick entries.

How to use: Click “New Appointment” in the calendar to access the redesigned creation flow. The system will suggest relevant rooms, courses, and participants as you build your appointment.

Online Rooms

You can now mark rooms as online and add dedicated meeting links, so virtual appointments display the correct join link automatically.

How to use: Go to Organization > Rooms, create or edit a room, and toggle the “Online” switch to add a meeting link.

Content Block Editing

You can now edit all fields of content blocks after they’ve been created — including files, videos, links, and descriptions that were previously locked.

How to use: Open any existing content block and click edit. All fields are now fully editable.

Custom Fields for Certificates

You can now add custom fields with default values to your certificates for additional information like specialization or honors.

How to use: Go to course settings > Certificates and click “Add Custom Field” to include new fields.

Content Block Draft Recovery

Your unsaved content block drafts are now automatically saved, so you can restore them if your browser closes unexpectedly.

How to use: When reopening the content block creation form after an interruption, you’ll be prompted to restore your saved draft.

Chat Pinned Messages

You can now pin important messages in chat channels so your team can find key information quickly.

How to use: Select a message in any chat and choose “Pin.” View all pinned messages in the new “Pins” tab.

Improvements

Expanded Activity Logs

Activity tracking now covers significantly more actions including exam changes, applicant workflows, instructor assignments, document templates, leave of absence, and student status updates.

Smart Documents

Template creation now uses a streamlined side panel instead of a dialog, and document signing and history tracking have been improved.

Learning Journey

Content blocks now display completion status with the exact date, the page header layout has been refined, and a confetti animation plays when you finish a block.

Exam Center

Date scheduling now validates against past dates, bulk grading and publishing workflows have been streamlined, and exam request details are now shown in a detailed slide-out panel.

Appointment Experience

Room suggestions are now grouped by relevance, drag-and-drop rescheduling works more reliably, and online meeting links are displayed more clearly.

Breadcrumbs are now more scalable and include module version information for clearer navigation in study plans and exams.

Updated Font
