Overview

In Release 93, we have introduced a number of improvements to the existing features and the following new feature:

What's new

Supporting Arabic and RTL languages

The platform now supports for Arabic and other right-to-left (RTL) languages for all roles, including content developers, instructors, and learners.

Interactive components (SCORM) versioning

We've introduced an option to update SCORM packages with newer versions. Now enrolled learners who haven't started a SCORM activity can see its updated version. Those who have started it can reset their progress and choose between starting the new SCORM or continuing with the one they started. Completed activities are saved with a record about being finished. This allows learners to review either the original or the updated version.

Enhancements to the impersonation mode

We’ve enhanced the user impersonation experience for instructors and administrators:

A new pop-up warning now informs users about unrecoverable changes that can be made in this mode.

The impersonation mode interface was redesigned. Instructors and administrators can now easily understand that they are in the impersonation mode and can see whom they are impersonating.

TAB key / displays available actions in the Rich Text editor

We've introduced a keyboard shortcut feature for the Toolbox in the Media Block. It allows Authors to quickly access and insert content elements. Similar to the slash command shortcut in Notion, this enhancement simplifies accessing different Rich Text Format options while editing content in various content items in the content library.
