Core product updates
Require learners to retake courses in a path
Use our new path option Mandatory Replay to help your learners stay in compliance; when enabled, this option requires learners retake all courses within a path and only shows the results for the retake in path result reports.
Identify paths that came from programs
We've added a Migrated Program tag to help differentiate paths that are manually created from paths that were created from a program.
Add a cover image to your path with the Unsplash image bank
You can now add a cover image to your paths using the Unsplash image bank.
Estimated weekly commitment option added to paths
In the path steps setting, you can now set an Estimated weekly commitment.
Quickly tell which learners are attending classroom training with the new RSVP status.
Instead of having to manage invites in an outside calendar invite, RSVPs are part of the 360Learning platform:

- Instructors can see how learners have responded to their classroom invite directly in 360Learning.

- archivity (archived or live).
(I am aware archivity isn’t a word. But it should be.)

Core product updates

Messages posted in the forum of a path are now displayed in the newsfeed of enrolled users.
If you have the Globalization solution, users see only the messages in their language (and administrators see all messages)
Impacted application:
Simplified advanced settings
In order to simplify forum notification management, we removed two options from the group advanced settings:
Users receive an email when a new message is posted by a coach, an administrator or an instructor → corresponding to the notification option A new message is posted by an administrator, a coach or an instructor, in the personal notification settings of users.
Email notifications when a message is posted by a learner on a newsfeed are active. Each individual user can deactivate them in their settings. → corresponding to the notification option A new message is posted by a learner on a group or a session page, in the personal notification settings of users.
The corresponding notification options can still be disabled in the notification settings page, but they cannot be disabled by default by administrators.
We also added a new notification option Messages of all my users in a group newsfeed, in the section Other publications, which allows administrators to be notified of all new messages in the newsfeed of their group.
Impacted application:

Core product updates
Simplified course duplication
Authors who duplicate existing courses have more autonomy over their work with improvements we've made to the course copy experience. Instead of staying tied to the original course (and having the frustrating dependencies that come along with that), duplicates are now their own standalone courses.
Try it out by clicking ... → Make a copy on an existing course.
Impacted application:
Updated course option in paths: availability after enrollment
Path editors can now choose the option After the enrollment date (as a variation of After the session’s start date) to define an availability date for the courses.

Path editors can now choose the option At the end of the course, if successful in subsections Correct answer and Forum & reactions of the course options in a path.

New navigation experience for all
After a successful testing phase, we’re rolling out a new navigation experience in our ongoing efforts to improve the consistency of the navigation across the learning platform.

You can still access the old dashboard from the left sidebar until March 2023.
Workspaces
From the left sidebar, you can access two different workspaces (4):

Access to exports has moved
With the release of the new navigation experience, access to exports has moved:
