Bug Fixes

- Enterprise SSO sign-in: users on an enterprise single sign-on domain are sent to their identity provider again, instead of seeing a sign-in error.

- Image with text background: the background image of an image-with-text block now fills its frame edge to edge, with no grey strip down the side.

Improvements

- Articulate Rise import: Rise sections now import as modules with their lessons nested inside, blocks built with the Mighty extension import as editable embedded content, and course descriptions keep their formatting.

- Custom-code embeds in the AI Assistant: ask the AI Assistant to build an interactive custom-code embed and watch a live preview render as the code streams in.

- Label AI images and add an AI transparency notice: mark any image as AI-generated with a visible badge, turn on an opt-in AI notice on the cover page, and export machine-readable AI provenance metadata for transparency requirements.

- XLIFF translation import and export (Enterprise plan): export a course as an XLIFF 1.2 file, translate it in a professional tool like Trados, memoQ, or Phrase, then import it back into the same course with a full summary of what was applied.

Bug fixes

- App crash during browser translation: opting out of automatic browser translation stops a crash that could interrupt your work while creating a course.

- AI card edits deleting the wrong card: accepting an AI-suggested structural change now replaces the card cleanly instead of removing your content.

Bug Fixes

- Image and text banners fill the full width: Banners no longer stop short of the card edges, so layouts look right, including courses imported from Articulate Rise.

- The Go to link button opens reliably: The Go to action on a button block now keeps its panel open so you can set the destination URL.

- Learner progress is now saved reliably in SCORM courses: SCORM courses no longer lose learner progress on resume, and completion is recorded on the first pass instead of the second.

- Course exports no longer fail or time out: fixed PDF and PPTX exports that were aborting after about a minute and reporting a failed export.

- Translated courses now translate the full lesson body: translating a course now translates the full lesson content across preview, SCORM, and exports, not just the titles.

- SCORM exports now respect the course language: static SCORM packages now show player controls in the course language and lay out right-to-left languages such as Arabic correctly.

- Course narration now plays the voice you selected: switching a lesson back to a text-to-speech voice now plays that voice instead of a previously uploaded narration.

- Image markers stay put when an image scales or resizes: markers on an image now stay on their points when the image is resized in the editor or viewed on a narrow screen.

- Invalid learning outcomes are caught sooner: An over-length learning outcome is now flagged before you move to the next step, instead of silently failing at the end of course generation.

- Clearer errors for lessons missing source pages: Page-based lessons with no assigned source pages now fail fast with a clear reason, instead of retrying and erroring at the very end.

Improvements

- More natural narration with Gemini 3.1 voices: Course narration now uses Google's Gemini 3.1 text-to-speech, with a curated set of natural-sounding voices and better multilingual pronunciation. If you already picked a voice, it stays the same.

- AI chat assistant can now search your uploaded source documents: The AI chat assistant can look up and reference documents you've uploaded, grounding edits with citations to the file and page.

- Icons and automatic stock photos for callouts and layout cards: Attach an icon to callout blocks and layout cells (steps, tabs, accordion, grid, ring) from a curated set. AI-generated lessons also include matching icons automatically, and image blocks without a matching source image fall back to a fitting stock photo.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed AI-generated cards sometimes appearing blank: Quiz, chart, carousel, flip-card, and other interactive cards created by the AI chat assistant could occasionally end up silently blank due to malformed content. These are now validated and repaired before saving.

- Fixed a rare issue that could briefly take the whole app offline: Closing a tab or navigating away mid-load could crash the server itself, briefly taking the entire app down for everyone. The app now handles these cancellations safely.

- Fixed lessons getting stuck retrying instead of showing a clear error: Lessons created without any assigned source pages would silently retry generation several times before failing. They're now flagged with a clear error right away.

- Fixed being able to skip past a learning outcome error when creating a course: Entering a learning outcome longer than 500 characters let you advance to the next step even though it was invalid, causing generation to silently fail later. The error is now caught before you can move on.

- Fixed course generation crashing for some lessons: Generating a slide-based lesson with no assigned sources could crash the whole job. This is now handled gracefully.

- Fixed incorrect card counts for slide-based lessons: Lessons created from slides sometimes showed a card count in the outline that didn't match the number of slides actually generated.

- Fixed true/false questions showing raw text instead of a question: Asking the AI editor to add a true/false interaction could show raw text instead of the actual question.

- Fixed duplicate AI writing requests in the lesson editor: Continue Writing, Summarize, Extend, and Rephrase could fire the same generation request repeatedly. Each action now only fires once.

- Fixed lesson pages freezing when moving between lessons: Learners could experience the page freezing for several seconds when moving to the next lesson in a course with no quiz.

- Fixed alignment and overflow issues in ranking questions: Fixed misaligned numbering and text overflow when answers were long in ranking and sorting interactions.

- Fixed mobile disclaimer notice not clearing: The mobile editing notice now clears when you navigate away, and only appears where mobile editing genuinely doesn't work well yet.

- Fixed missing page selector for PowerPoint sources: The page range selector for choosing which pages a lesson uses now appears for PowerPoint sources as well as PDFs.

- Fixed 'must be an admin' error when moving courses: Admins who belong to more than 10 organizations could be incorrectly blocked from moving a course out of an organization.

Improvements

- Unified and improved the color picker across the editor: Replaced several inconsistent color-picking experiences with one consistent picker throughout the app, including an eyedropper tool and an opacity control for background colors.

- Smoother full-screen course view on mobile: Course lessons on mobile now scroll edge-to-edge as a full-screen experience, letting the browser's address bar collapse for more viewing space.

New features

- Editor menu no longer covers dialogs: Fixed the floating editor toolbar appearing on top of dialogs.

- Fewer errors when moving between pages: Fixed intermittent errors when navigating between pages.

- Clearer message for lessons with no source pages: Visual-convert lessons with no assigned source pages now explain the issue instead of failing with a generic error.

Improvements
