May 15, 2026: Content Databases

New Features

Course Content Database ⭐

You can now manage your content blocks centrally in a dedicated database, link them to individual courses, and keep everything in sync — so you maintain consistent learning materials across your entire organization.

Key features:

• Single-block linking: Link individual content blocks from the database to specific courses and control exactly which content appears where

• Automatic synchronization: Changes to a content block in the database are automatically synced to all linked courses, ensuring consistency across your programs

• Bulk actions: Select multiple content blocks at once to link or sync them in bulk — saving time with large course libraries

• Sync status indicators: Color-coded sync dots next to each content block show at a glance whether a block is synced, pending, or outdated — hover for detailed source and destination information

• Content protection for linked courses: Courses linked to the database are automatically protected from direct editing, with clear prompts to edit in the database instead

• File transfer: When syncing content blocks, all attached files (including SCORM packages) are automatically copied to the destination courses

• Assessment visibility option: A new setting lets you show or hide assessment specifications for content blocks, so you control what students see

How it works: Navigate to a course’s content area and use the “Content Block Sync” option to link blocks from the database. Manage your central content library on the Learning Journey Database page, where you can create, edit, and sync content blocks with linked courses.

Time Tracking & Leave Management

You can now manage leave entitlements, view time-tracking analytics, and assign working-time models — all through a completely redesigned, modern interface.

How it works: Go to a user’s profile in User Management and open the “Time Tracking” tab. Organization-wide working-time models can be managed under Settings → Time Tracking.

Company Management

You can now create and manage companies within your organization, assign users, and maintain company contacts — ideal for managing partnerships with external businesses.

How it works: Enable company management in your organization settings, then navigate to OrgHub → Companies to add companies and assign users.

Statistics Export Redesign

The statistics export has been completely redesigned with a new three-step flow — select data, configure export settings, and process the export — for easier creation of official reports.

How it works: Navigate to OrgHub → Statistics to use the redesigned export workflow with the new list, configuration, and processing pages.

Email Management

You can now view, manage, and archive all sent emails on a dedicated email management page — with a searchable table, tabs for different email statuses, and real-time send progress.

How it works: Go to OrgHub → Emails to open the new email overview. When composing emails, you see send progress in real time.

Exam Withdrawal & Re-registration

Students can now withdraw directly from exams, with support for withdrawal deadlines, optional file attachments, and the ability to re-register after a withdrawal.

How it works: Open an exam in your study plan and use the new “Withdraw from Exam” option. Re-registration is possible until the deadline shown in the dialog.

Module Grade Calculation

Module grade calculation has been overhauled and now supports weighted multi-exam modules with percentage and numeric grading, enabling a more accurate and transparent grade overview.

How it works: Module grades are calculated automatically in the study plan. Hover over a module grade to see a detailed breakdown of the calculation.

Semester Address

Users can now store a semester-specific address in their profile, which is automatically synced with the higher-education statistics system.

How it works: Go to your profile to add or update your semester address. The address is automatically included in statistics exports.

Chat Link Previews & Read Receipts

Shared links in chat now show previews, and you can see who has read your messages with the new read-receipt feature.

How it works: Simply share a link in a chat to see the preview. Read receipts can be turned on and off in the chat channel settings.

Improvements

Faster Page Load Times

The entire application now loads significantly faster thanks to a streaming architecture that reduces unnecessary re-renders and improves load speed.

Attendance Display

Attendance columns now show color-coded progress indicators in study program and cohort user tables, so attendance issues are visible at a glance.

Tuition Fee Configuration

Fee schedules now support version-related fees, automatically calculated amounts with manual override, and visual indicators for already assigned study program versions.

Availability Planning

The availability planning workflow has been optimized with better timezone handling, improved time-slot formatting, and more robust request management.

All-Day Calendar Events

All-day events now handle timezones correctly and show accurate date ranges regardless of your location.

Destatis Autocomplete

During statistics export, known Destatis fields are now filled in automatically, reducing manual input for official higher-education reports.

Regional Statistics Support

Statistics exports now support Germany’s districts (Kreise) and enable more detailed regional data for official reporting.

Dashboard Design Reliability

Dashboard designs and widget layouts now load more reliably, with improved saving and automatic restoration when switching between institutions.

Certificate Download & Email Delivery

Sharing certificates works reliably again — both PDF download and email delivery have been restored and improved with better error feedback.

Mentions in Chat

The chat mention system has been improved with better filtering, distinction of similar names, clickable mentions, and correct scroll behavior.

Global Search

Keyboard shortcut labels in global search have been shortened to avoid layout shifts on smaller screens.

Unified Loading States

Loading screens have been unified across pages — including rooms, curriculum, connections, and settings — for a more consistent look.
