What's New

A new tile lets learners submit a star rating and text feedback on lesson content, providing authors with engagement insights.

Authors can now configure whether the learner sidebar starts open or closed by default.

Lesson pages can now have custom titles, enabling named page navigation and improving the learner experience.

Button tiles now support routing learners to any specific page within the lesson, enabling non-linear navigation.

Three new characters — Rohan, Jenna, and Julian — have been added to the editable video and scenario tile character library.

Flashcard tiles now support left text alignment, addressing an accessibility concern raised by users.

The lesson completion screen has been redesigned to match the improved completion dialogue previously applied to courses.

The AI editing agent is now available to all paid tier users at no extra charge during its early rollout period.

A new system enables consistent AI-generated characters to appear across both generated videos and scenario tiles, starting with "Dale."

Authors can now share a review link for their storyboard so collaborators can comment before content is fully built.

A new generation mode gives the AI more time to think, with a "content strategy" slider to control how much creative magic vs. instruction-following the AI applies.

Carousel images now support captions, eliminating the need to add a separate text tile below an image for labeling.
