Product Updates

Secure Credentials with Automatic Masking Across Connectors  Gainsight CS protects connection credentials stored in connectors using Key Management Service (KMS) encryption. This security upgrade has been extended to 13 connectors, ensuring that sensitive fields such as API keys, client secrets, and passwords are encrypted at rest and never re-displayed after being saved.The following lists the 13 connectors that now include credential masking and KMS encryption:Freshdesk Zuora (V2) Zendesk Intercom (V2) ServiceNow Pipedrive (V2) Jira Zoho (V2) Gong.io Ecosystem Aha! Productboard REST API (Custom Connector)IMPORTANT: No disruption to existing connections: All existing connections continue to sync normally. Admins do not need to reconnect or re-enter credentials unless they intend to rotate a secret, or you do not need to reconnect or re-enter credentials unless you intend to rotate a secret.

We've been busy in June. This round of updates touches a little bit of everything, from how your AI Tutor processes content, to how learners rate courses, to a few platform improvements that you’ve been asking for.   🤖 AI Tutor Enhancements SCORM & PDF Support: Skilljar’s AI Tutor can now learn from SCORM packages and PDF documents.  Upload your existing training materials and the AI Tutor will use them as context to answer learner questions, guide practice exercises, and reinforce key concepts. The AI Tutor now draws from it all, giving learners accurate, context-aware help grounded in your full curriculum. AI Tutor: Claude Sonnet 4.6 Now Available: You can now select Claude Sonnet 4.6 as the LLM powering your AI Tutor.  Claude Sonnet 4.6 delivers strong reasoning and better handling of nuanced training content, giving your learners a noticeably improved tutoring experience. Admins can now choose their preferred model in the AI Tutor configuration settings, Claude or ChatGPT, and have more control over how the AI Tutor performs for your audience.  Learn More → Anthropic (Claude) is now available as an AI Model Provider in AI Tutor Domain Settings🌟 Course Ratings New 10-Point Scale Course ratings now support an NPS-style 10-point scale, giving you more granular insight into how learners feel about your content. This scale helps you identify which courses are truly excelling and which ones need attention, making it easier to prioritize content improvements where they'll have the most impact. Learn More →Configure Course Ratings settings in your admin dashboard, choose between a 5 star or 10 point rating scale📁 HTML Lessons: Larger Files Content Support HTML lessons now support up to 6 MB of content, removing a critical blocker for teams building AI-powered content creation workflows.If you've been using tools like Claude to generate polished, branded HTML lessons and publishing them to Skilljar via MCP or API, you may have hit a wall at the publish step. The previous 100 KB limit meant rich lessons with custom fonts, brand icons, and interactive elements were getting rejected, forcing you to strip out brand elements, and split lessons just to get it to publish.That's now resolved. Larger HTML lessons publish to Skilljar without any manual size trimming.  🔗 Certificate Redirect on Domain Settings Instead of sending learners to Skilljar-hosted URLs after earning certificates, you can now surface a verification page under your own domain [university.yourcompany.com/verify/…]  This makes it possible to control exactly where a learner lands when they earn a certificate, whether that's a congratulations page, a next-steps guide, or a custom branded destination. Note: Once you enable the new redirects on a domain, all new certificate links will use your branded URL automatically and any previously shared links will redirect seamlessly and your learners always land where you intend. Learn More → Catch the full Release Notes for this roundup of enhancements here.

This release brings six updates that give community teams more control over how pages look, how data flows between your tools, and how search engines find your content.Here's What's New🎨 Customize layouts on every page in your community The Layout Editor is no longer limited to your homepage and custom pages. You can now open it on any community, knowledge base, or group page and configure the layout independently, without affecting any other page.What you can do on each page:Add, hide, and reorder widgets without touching any other page in the community Replace the global sidebar with page-specific sidebar widgets Add and configure library widgets inline, with category or section filters applied automatically Set up distinct layouts for the events page, Groups Overview page, and individual group pagesThis means a partner program group, a product-specific category, and a KB section can each look and work differently — no developer required, no structural changes in Control.For more information, refer to the Getting started with the homepage and A closer look at homepage widgets articles. 🔗 Map community profile fields to Skilljar When unified login is enabled, CC acts as the identity provider for Skilljar. You can now map any CC profile attribute to a Skilljar field, including name, department, role, region, and preferred language. You can also push SSO attributes or CS profile data through to Skilljar if those integrations are active. Skilljar fields populate automatically, and the dropdown pulls your available Skilljar fields in real time when you set up a mapping.For more information, refer to the Configure CC-to-Skilljar Field Mapping article.🖼 Language Variant Layouts For multilingual communities that share a single category structure, you can now create separate page layouts for each language without splitting your community in Control.Switch to any configured language from the build bar and customize that page's layout independently. The first time you open a language variant, your default layout is copied over as a starting point. After the first save, each variant is fully standalone — changes to your default layout won't overwrite saved language variants.For more information, refer to the Create a Localized Homepage article.🌐 Rename Languages in the Community Switcher You can now edit the display name of any enabled language in Control, without adding a new language or changing any translated phrases. Previously, the language switcher showed only the native script name for each language, with no way to customize the label for regional audiences.When you enable a language in Control, the Display Name field becomes editable. Enter a custom name, save, and publish. The updated name appears immediately in the community language switcher. This means you can differentiate regional variants of the same language, keep one language entry with a custom label, and give members a label that matches their region — all without touching any translated content.For more information, refer to the Configure Language Settings article.🔄 More Control Over What Your API Connectors Return Two new capabilities give developers and admins more control over what data a connector sends to a widget before it reaches the browser.Response Transformation: Apply a transformation template to filter, reshape, or reformat the API response on the server before the widget receives it. This removes unwanted data server-side, so it never appears in the browser network tab. Composite Connectors: Chain multiple API calls into a single server-side flow. The widget makes one request and receives the final result — intermediate steps, tokens, and internal IDs stay inside the server-side flow and out of browser code.Note: Composite Connectors are configured in the repository registry. There is no visual admin UI for connector chaining at this time.For more information, refer to the Developer Portal documentation.🔍 Get more of your community indexed by search engines Gainsight CC now generates a sitemap index and includes all public topic URLs in your community sitemaps. Previously, sitemaps only listed structural URLs like category and section pages, which limited how much content search engines could discover.What's included now:A sitemap index file that gives crawlers a single entry point to your full sitemap structure All public topic pages included alongside existing structural URLs A lastmod timestamp on every URL so crawlers prioritize recently updated contentCommunities with more than 50,000 topics are automatically split across multiple sitemap files.Getting StartedThe expanded Layout Editor, Language Variant Layouts, and Skilljar field mapping are available in your CC instance now. To access the Layout Editor on a category, section, or group page, open it in Destination and select Edit Layout from the build bar.  For Skilljar field mapping, navigate to the SSO Field Mapping configuration in Control.API Connector enhancements are available through the Developer Portal. For sitemap changes, no configuration is needed — your sitemaps update automatically.👉 Check out the Release Notes for more details.💬 Have a question for ​@Sudhanshu, ​@marekkoszlak, and their teams?

We shipped another on-demand release for Gainsight CS, and this one’s focused on making Gainsight CS MCP more powerful, the Spaces experience intuitive, and Timeline activity more connected to every customer’s goals.Please note: MCP enhancements notated below have been enabled for all customers and a support ticket is not needed, Spaces and Timeline enhancements remain On-Demand. Please contact support to enable the Spaces and Timeline features.Let’s dive in. MCP: Deeper Customer Context, Right Where You Need It Gainsight CS MCP already connects your Gainsight data to the LLMs your team uses every day. This release goes further by making that data easier to query, more personalized, and faster to act on.Here’s what’s new:Query using reports you have already built: Your reports now serve as a knowledge layer inside MCP, with custom fields, terminology, and permissions already applied. You can also now modify report logic by adding fields, applying new filters, or removing ones that do not apply. Pull your portfolio instantly: When you reference "my portfolio," MCP reads the company and relationship filters you have already configured and applies them automatically.  Find key contacts fast: Ask "Who are the key contacts at [company]?" and MCP retrieves contact details from both Company Person and Relationship Person objects. You can refine by role, title, or other attributes too. For more information on how to set up Gainsight CS MCP, refer to the Set Up Gainsight CS MCP Server Integration article.Spaces: Easier to Navigate, Easier to Invite CSMs can now reorder tabs in the CSM Reports widget to keep their most-used reports within easy reach. And before any Spaces invitation goes out, admins can now send a test email to confirm that content, formatting, and tokens all look exactly right. For teams managing a high volume of Spaces invitations, catching a broken token before it reaches a customer matters. Timeline: Activity Connected to Success Plans CSMs log a lot in Timeline, but that activity has traditionally lived separately from the Success Plans where customer goals actually sit. This update connects the two.Now, admins can enable Success Plan association for Companies and Relationship types individually, or use Enable for All to activate it across the board in a single action. Once on, CSMs can search and link relevant Success Plans by name, type, status, or owner directly from the Associated Records section in Timeline. Admins can also customize which fields are searchable and what filter criteria apply to match how your team works.Over time, this builds a much richer picture of how your team's day-to-day engagement is moving customers toward their goals, which is exactly the narrative you want when renewal conversations come around.For more information on how to configure associated records, refer to the Configure Associated Records to Timeline article. Want to learn more?

This release makes life easier on both sides of Skilljar: less manual work for admins, and a more seamless experience for learners across languages and devices. Here's what's new.  👥 Automated SCIM Provisioning for AdminsAutomated SCIM provisioning allows you to manage Dashboard user accounts directly from your identity provider, whether that's Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, OneLogin, or any other SCIM 2.0 compliant providers. This means your IT team can manage Skilljar admin accounts the same way they manage every other tool in your stack.With SCIM enabled, your identity provider becomes the single source of truth for Dashboard access. This means:User accounts are automatically managed. A user account is created when someone is added to a Skilljar-mapped group, deactivated when they're removed, and reactivated (not duplicated) if they return. So when your IT team adds a new CE manager to a Skilljar-Admins group as part of standard onboarding, their Dashboard account is ready before day one. And when a contractor wraps up, their access is revoked the moment they're deprovisioned in your identity provider. Role assignments stay in sync. Skilljar reads your identity provider's group memberships and maps them to the corresponding Dashboard roles, so permissions update automatically as team members change groups. If a content author is promoted to domain admin in your IdP, the updated group membership flows straight through to Skilljar.This eliminates manual account management, reduces the risk of duplicate accounts, and keeps your Dashboard access aligned with your broader identity policies. Getting started: To connect your identity provider to Skilljar, Global Administrators can generate a SCIM token from Settings > SCIM Provisioning. The rest of the connection is configured in your identity provider. Check out the Help Article for more details.Release NotesNote: This is only available to Professional and Enterprise customers who have SSO for admins. SCIM manages Dashboard users only. Learner provisioning continues to work through SSO, API, or self-registration. 🔒 Self-Service SSONo more support tickets to set up SSO. Admins can now create, manage, and test SSO configurations directly from the Skilljar Dashboard.The new SSO Configuration page supports Token Based, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and Community configuration types. You can create multiple configurations and manage them all in one place, with the ability to activate whichever one is current. The best part? A built-in test function lets you validate any configuration before going live, so you can launch a new sign-in method with confidence.Getting Started: Org Admins can access SSO Configuration from Domains & Publishing > Domain Settings. The Help Article has more details on configuration.Release NotesNote:Multi-domain SSO (mSSO) still requires ProServices engagement to enable. Multiple configurations can be created, but only one can be active at a time. SSO Configuration in the Skilljar dashboard, Domains & Publishing > Domain Settings 🌍 Saved Localization PreferencesLearners no longer have to reselect their language every time they clear cookies, switch devices, or log in from somewhere new. Skilljar now saves language preferences directly to the learner's profile, so their selection persists automatically across every future visit.New language selector location. Learners can still choose their language from the footer selector, and can now also switch languages from the profile dropdown, shown below. Persistent across devices and browsers. The preference is stored in the database, not in cookies, so it follows the learner whether they're on their laptop at work, or their phone at home. Consistent across domains. For organizations with multiple training sites, one stored preference carries the learner's language everywhere without re-detection.Release NotesNote:This is enabled automatically for every organization with language packs configured. Applies to authenticated learners only. Anonymous learners continue to use browser-cookie persistence as before. Admins cannot currently view or edit a learner's stored preference from the Dashboard. Admin visibility and editing are planned as follow-on enhancements.Learners can now select their preferred language from the Profile menu ➕ Other Dashboard Enhancement:Course Ratings Available as Modular Lessons: Previously, Course Ratings only applied at the course level as a standalone lesson, but they can now be applied to individual lessons modularly. This allows learners to provide more granular feedback on your content. Release Notes.

Your learners shouldn't have to remember which tab has their courses and which one has the community. They shouldn't have to log in twice, search in two places, or lose their place every time they switch. That friction is real and it quietly chips away at engagement every day.That's why we built the Skilljar + Gainsight Customer Communities Integration, apart of Gainsight’s Digital Customer Hub. Shared customers can now connect both platforms into a single, seamless learning experience. 🔒 Unified Login & ProfileLearners sign in once through their Gainsight CC SSO and get instant access to both Community and Academy. Think about your new customer onboarding flow. Right now, a new user lands in your Community to meet other customers and get oriented, then they hit a wall the moment they try to access training. A separate login, a new password, another account to manage. That's friction at the exact moment you need momentum most. By being logged into both platforms, and with shared navigation enabled, users also have a Unified Profile. The Community profile replaces the native Skilljar profile, so users see one consistent identity as they move between Academy and Community. Skilljar-specific details like course progress and certifications are still accessible through "My Learning" in the profile menu.🧭 Unified NavigationCommunity branding and navigation can now be embedded directly inside Skilljar Builder Pages. Learners move between training and community content without ever feeling like they've left.Here's a scenario your learners live every day: they're halfway through a course, hit a question, and want to see if someone in the community has already answered it. Today, that means opening a new tab, logging in again, and trying to pick up where they left off in your Academy. 🔎 Federated SearchOne search bar = results from both Skilljar and Community. Learners find the course, article, or discussion they're looking for, wherever it lives.When a customer searches "how do I…," the answer might be in a Skilljar course, a Community discussion thread, or both. Right now they have to check each place separately and if they don't find it on the first try, most give up and open a ticket.Federated Search surfaces everything in one result set. Customers self-serve faster, your support team handles fewer repeat questions, and the training content you've invested in actually gets discovered. 📚 Education Widgets in CommunityYou can now embed Skilljar content directly on your Community pages, complete with progress bars, thumbnails, and customizable layouts.Your Community is already where customers go to stay current on your product. When you post a new feature announcement, that's prime real estate to say "here's the course that shows you how to use it." Without this integration, that connection never happens, instead it goes something like: the update goes out, customers read it, and the training stays locked in your Academy.Education Widgets let you embed the right course next to the right conversation. Your community homepage can greet new members with a "Start here" learning path. Admins configure everything directly from the Community widget library, no code required. What’s NextThis is the first step toward a fully connected learning and community experience. We're already working on what comes next: deeper personalization, richer profile data across platforms, and more ways to reward engagement across both spaces.For now, connect your Skilljar and Gainsight CC instances and see what it feels like when your Academy and Community work as one. Get StartedTo get started, our Help Article walks you through setting up a short enablement session with our team. Once the initial connection is in place, admins configure everything else on their own.👉 Help Article👉 Release Notes 

Most CS teams already have the data they need, but it rarely lives in one place or shows up when it matters. Instead, it’s spread across emails, meetings, and notes—and pulling it together takes more time than it should.That’s why our Q1 release is focused on making that easier. Moving forward, more of that context shows up automatically, easier to access in the moment, and it’s even easier to turn into action.Here’s what’s new: Gainsight MCP: Bring Customer Context Into AI WorkflowsYour team is likely already using LLMs to brainstorm, summarize, and write faster, and increasingly to prepare for calls, triage their books, and draft Success Plans. But until now, Gainsight data sat outside of that flow, meaning outputs lacked critical customer context, and getting it required copying data, switching tabs, and losing momentum.With Gainsight MCP, external LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude can now connect directly to your Gainsight instance. Teams can pull account context, review Timeline activity, check health scores, and take action, like updating CTAs or Success Plans, without ever leaving their AI workflow.Not sure where to start? Use our ready-to-use prompts for common workflows like weekly portfolio reviews, renewal prep, and QBR briefings. To learn more, refer to the Gainsight CS MCP Server Integration article.Connect Gainsight CS MCP to your LLM, explore real account data, and take action like creating CTAs and Success Plans through our free guided course. Take the course today!  Timeline: Capture the Full Customer Conversation, AutomaticallyThis release brings several updates that make Timeline meaningfully more complete without adding work for your team.Auto Email Capture: Automatically log emails to Timeline the moment they're sent or received, including participants, timestamps, and full conversation threads, so there's no need for plugins, checkboxes, or manual entry. Related messages are even grouped together.* To and From Fields: Admins also get new To and From fields for email activities, giving teams clearer visibility into who communicated with whom, which is especially useful for multi-threaded relationships. The result: A more complete customer record without anyone having to build it manually.*Need-to-know details on Auto Email Capture: Auto Email Capture is powered by Staircase technology. If you're using just CS, no additional purchase is required. You cannot connect only emails. To enable Auto Email Capture, you must select the Email + Meetings connection option. If you enable Auto Email Capture for a user group, don't also use Gainsight Assist, BCC email tags, or external Timeline APIs for those same users, as combining methods can create duplicate or overwritten Timeline activities. Upon enabling Auto Email Capture, a historical sync of 30 days will be triggered. For more information, refer to the Admin Guide, User Guide, or FAQs.  Timeline: Relationship Person SupportYou can now search and select Relationship Persons as external attendees in Timeline activities, helping you identify the right participants more accurately and view relevant context directly within the search experience.Support for Relationship Persons in Search:
External attendee search now includes both Company Person and Relationship Person records in Timeline activity, with search results grouped into three sections based on the attendee type: Company Person, Relationship Person, or User Context Based Display Order:
Section order is based on the activity’s primary context. If Company is the primary context, Company Person results appear first followed by the  Relationship Person results. Conditional Section Display: Sections are displayed only when relevant search results are found. For example, the Relationship Person section appears only if matching results are available. Attendee Context on Hover: Hovering over attendee details now indicates whether the participant is a Company Person or a Relationship Person.For more information on relationship person search, refer to the Log Activities to Timeline article. Journey Orchestrator: More Ways to Edit Live ProgramsYou launch a JO program, it's running smoothly, and then someone asks for a change. Until now, that usually meant cloning the entire program just to tweak one step, for example. With the refreshed Program Editor, you can now add a new step exactly where you need it, update existing steps like delay timing or Evaluate logic, and skip steps instead of deleting them.This release also introduces multiple participant syncs per day, allowing you to schedule syncs at defined intervals so time-sensitive programs like onboarding and risk response reflect the latest data instead of waiting for the next daily run.For more information, refer to the Edit an Advanced Program article. Copilot: Surface All Customers Insights into CopilotCopilot now pulls together Timeline activity and Staircase insights into a single response, so if you're trying to understand what's happening in an account, you can ask one question and see both what's been logged in Gainsight and what Staircase has picked up from emails, meetings, and support interactions.We’ve also added the ability to download report data as Excel files directly from Copilot, so when you get a tabular answer you can export it immediately for offline analysis or sharing. Pro Tip: Copilot is only as good as the data behind it. If you haven't reviewed your Key Definitions recently, go to Administration > Copilot > Key Definitions and make sure they reflect your organization's actual terminology, especially for concepts like ARR, customer segments, or risk. For more information, refer to the Copilot Overview article. Spaces: Keep Customer Goals Visible and CollaborativeCustomer Goals can now be shared in Spaces, bringing goal tracking into the same place where teams and customers already collaborate. Everyone can see progress, update values, and discuss next steps without switching tools, while admins stay in control of which goals are shared and what external participants can access. AI Cheat Sheet: Show Only What Your Team NeedsAdmins can now customize AI Cheat Sheet in C360 and R360 by renaming sections, reordering them, or turning them off entirely, so teams see the specific signals they care about instead of scanning through everything on the page.Pro Tip: Ask your CSMs which Cheat Sheet sections they actually use before configuring; you might find that two or three sections drive 90% of the value, and turning off the rest makes the widget significantly more useful at a glance.For more information on how to customize the widget, refer to the AI Cheat Sheet Overview article.  Want to learn more?

Gone are the days of writing code inside a browser editor with no version control, no reusability, and no AI tooling support to create custom widgets. Developer Studio lets your engineering team build, version, and deploy custom widgets using GitHub and the tools they already work in, including AI coding tools, so you can vibe code any widget you can imagine into existence.Here's What's NewShip changes in seconds: Push code to GitHub and see updates live in your community immediately, no manual publishing steps required.Build with familiar web technologies: Create custom widgets using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or React, backed by a versioned SDK for accessing community data and services.Connect to external services securely: Call external APIs through a server-side proxy that keeps credentials off the client and out of your repository. Manage connector definitions directly in GitHub alongside your widget code, so external data dependencies are fully version-controlled.Deploy from staging to production with Git branches: Connect different community instances to different Git branches. Test on staging, then promote to production through a standard Git merge.Build widgets with AI coding tools: The widget repository template includes an agents.md file that enables AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code to generate correct, deployable widgets automatically. Describe what you want, and let AI build it.Reuse widgets across pages: Publish a widget once and community managers can place it on any page through the WYSIWYG layout editor, no code copying required.Track every change with full audit-ability: The complete history of every widget change lives in Git: who changed what, when, and why.What This Means If You're Not an EngineerYou don't need to understand GitHub to benefit from Developer Studio. Once your engineering team builds and publishes a widget, it shows up directly in the community editor; ready to drag, drop, and configure like any other component. That means faster turnaround on custom requests, less back-and-forth with your dev team, and a community experience that can look and behave exactly the way your members need it to, without you ever touching code. Getting StartedDeveloper Studio is available within Gainsight CC. To get started: Connect your GitHub repository in CC Control Use the widget repository template to scaffold your first widget Push to GitHub and your widget publishes automatically and becomes available in the WYSIWYG editor For full documentation including quickstart guides, SDK reference, and connector setup, refer to the Gainsight Developer Portal. For API details, refer to the Gainsight CC API Reference.👉 Check out the Release Notes for more details.💬 Have a question for our team? Drop a comment below!

We are excited to deliver five updates that give community managers more flexibility, admins better data tools, and members a more polished, discoverable experience, no matter where they are in the world. 👥 Manage Groups with Confidence Using the New Group Moderator RoleEmpower trusted community members to manage their groups directly from Destination, without needing access to Control.The new Group Moderator role replaces the former Group Admin and gives designated members the tools to keep their groups running smoothly and securely.What Group Moderators can do: Add or remove members in real time — no email confirmations or approval workflows required Handle join requests — view, approve, or decline requests for private and hidden groups, directly from Destination Control featured content — edit and update the content pinned at the top of the group's page Access the Moderation Widget — manage the group from the overview page without logging into Control Set secure invite link expiry — choose from 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, or 90-day expiration windows to prevent unauthorized access Community Managers and admins can promote any member to the Group Moderator role from within Control.🙌 Shoutout to the Beta CrewBig thanks to the teams at Meltwater, Jamf, Personio, LinkedIn, Trimble, Alkami, and Veeam for putting Group Moderator through its paces. Your feedback helped shape the experience for community teams everywhere.For more information, refer to the Group Moderator Tasks and Member Management in Gainsight CC article. 🔁 Sync CS Attributes to Community User Profiles Gainsight CC admins can now map Gainsight CS attributes directly to CC user profile fields and keep them in sync automatically. The new User Profile Field Mapping page lets admins connect attributes from CS standard objects (Person and Company Person) to your CC user profile fields. Once configured, values sync on a recurring schedule every four hours.This is a first step in the direction of CS to CC, closing the loop on bidirectional sync of CC-CS, with more capabilities to followWhat this unlocks: Richer personalization and segmentation — use real CS data in CC to power targeted community experiences, smarter segmentation, and more relevant communications Automated attribute sync — No more support requests. Data flows automatically at set cadence for mapped user profile fields To get started, a one-click connection between CS and CC must be established from the Connectors page in CS, and the desired user profile fields must be added in CC before mapping.For more information, refer to the Configure User Profile Field Mapping article. 🌐 Reach Every Member in Their Language with an Expanded Language SwitcherYour community now supports 25 languages across 36 regional variants, up from 19 — and a redesigned language switcher makes it easier than ever for members to find theirs.Redesigned language switcher in the community header is marked by a new globe icon lets members select their preferred language instantly. The selection applies immediately across all system-generated content: interface text, metadata, and standard phrases.17 new languages and regional variants, including: Regional English variants: Australia, Canada, Global, Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, and United Kingdom Regional variants for Chinese (Traditional), French (Canada), Portuguese, and Spanish (United States) Entirely new languages: Hungarian, Indonesian, Norwegian, Polish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese Community Admins can enable and publish languages from Control > Language Settings.For more information, refer to the Configure Language Settings article. 🖼 Give Categories Imagery with Thumbnail Images on Section PagesThumbnail images added to categories are now visible on category navigation cards on section pages, making it easier for members to find and explore the content areas that matter to them.Previously, thumbnail images could be uploaded during category creation but never appeared in Destination. Now they do — bringing a more visual, intuitive browsing experience to your community with no additional configuration needed.For more information on how to add the thumbnail, refer to the Configure Community Sections article. 🔍 Help Google Find Your Community with Enhanced SEOGainsight Customer Community now delivers stronger search engine optimization across localized homepages, breadcrumb navigation, and content language declarations — helping Google surface your content to the right audiences.What's included:Localized Homepage Language Tagging Localized homepages are now tagged with the correct hreflang signals, so Google automatically serves your language-specific homepage to the right regional audience.Structured Breadcrumb Data Breadcrumb trails are now embedded as structured data that Google reads directly, enabling your pages to appear with cleaner, more navigable links in search results and improving organic click-through rates.Content Language Declaration Pages now correctly declare their content language in HTML markup, allowing screen readers to select the right voice and enabling browsers to offer accurate translation prompts for global visitors.Note: These are backend improvements that do not require any action by your team to reap the benefits!For more information on how to set up SEO, refer to the Configure SEO Settings article.👉 Check out the Release Notes for more details. 💬 Have a question for our team?

Skilljar offers a native Stripe integration, giving you the flexibility to monetize your courses through Stripe-powered payments. Our enhanced integration replaces the previous eCommerce experience with Stripe Checkout Sessions—Stripe's recommended workflow for collecting payments. This upgrade introduces improvements to help you sell globally, handle taxes automatically, and manage your commerce operations with more flexibility.  💲What's New: More Secure, Stripe-Hosted CheckoutYour learners' payment information is now handled entirely by Stripe through a more secure, hosted checkout page. Card validation, error handling, 3D Secure authentication, and PCI compliance are all managed by Stripe. The final payment step now redirects to a Stripe-hosted checkout page, a polished, familiar payment experience that supports more payment methods and shows tax upfront.  Automated Tax Calculation and CollectionIf you sell to learners across different states or countries, tax compliance is now significantly easier. The enhanced integration supports Stripe Tax, which automatically calculates and collects the correct sales tax, VAT, or GST based on your buyer's location.  Localized Currency SupportWith the enhanced integration, your learners can view prices and pay in their local currency, and Stripe handles the conversion automatically. If you're selling to a global audience, this removes one of the biggest points of friction in the buying experience. Coupons and Promotion Codes via StripeYou now manage discounts directly in the Stripe Product Catalog. Create coupons (percentage off or fixed amount), generate customer-facing promotion codes, restrict codes to specific learners or products, set expiration dates, and control redemption limits, all from your Stripe Dashboard. This gives you far more flexibility and control for discounting than the legacy integration.  Domain-Level MonetizationYou're no longer limited to configuring eCommerce at the organization level. The enhanced integration enables domain-level monetization, giving you more granular control over how and where you sell across your training properties. If you operate multiple domains, you can tailor your commerce setup to each one. Expanded Reporting and AnalyticsStripe's built-in reporting and analytics tools are now available to complement your Skilljar Order Report. This means richer visibility into transaction-level detail, payment trends, and revenue insights, accessible directly from your Stripe Dashboard alongside the reporting you already use in Skilljar. Automatic Inventory SyncWhen you publish monetized content on a domain with Stripe Checkout Sessions enabled, Skilljar automatically creates a corresponding product in your Stripe Product Catalog with its metadata. Setup ProcessGetting started takes a few configuration steps in your domain-level Feature Settings. Once you're up and running, you can manage advanced capabilities like coupons and tax rules directly in your Stripe Dashboard. Our Help Article walks you through the upgrade workflow and links to the Stripe documentation you'll need along the way.  Important Notes:Recurring subscriptions and saved payment methods are on the roadmap. The foundation is in place with Checkout Sessions, and subscription support will be coming in a future update. Promo codes will need to be recreated in the Stripe Dashboard as coupons. However, bulk promo codes will continue to work on the enhanced integration with no changes needed. Refunds are managed in Stripe. For transactions processed through the enhanced integration, refunds must be issued directly from your Stripe Dashboard.  If you syndicate monetized training to another LMS, the purchase flow cannot be initiated from that external platform. The enhanced integration is designed for purchases made directly on Skilljar-hosted Academies. Commerce for syndicated content must be handled by the external LMS (e.g., through its own Stripe integration or payment system), with enrollment passed to Skilljar via API after purchase.  Upgrading from the Legacy IntegrationIf you're currently using the legacy Stripe integration, here's what you need to know:No disruption to your current setup. Your existing integration will continue to work, however we strongly recommend upgrading to get the most out of connecting Skilljar + Stripe.  For help with Skilljar setup, our Help Article has everything you need. For help with Stripe setup, including taxes, coupons, and payment methods configuration, review help documentation directly at https://docs.stripe.com/. 

Secure Your Google BigQuery Credentials with Automatic Masking Gainsight now masks sensitive credential fields in connector configurations to strengthen security. When you create a new connection or add a new secret while editing, credentials such as Client Secret are visible only once during that session. If you close and reopen the edit window, the Client Secret is masked and no longer visible.For detailed information on this release, refer to the Patch Release notes.

This update introduces bulk actions for both visibility settings and ILT event creation, cutting down on manual work for admins managing large audiences and busy training calendars.  🗂️ Filter Visibility by Group CategoryManaging content visibility across dozens of groups just got an upgrade.You can now use Group Category as a filter when setting Group Visibility for Courses, Paths, Plans, and Pages. Instead of manually selecting each group one by one, simply filter by category and apply visibility settings to all groups in that category at once.This is especially useful if you manage large numbers of groups organized by segment, region, or account type. This also reduces the manual effort when rolling out content to these large, segmented audiences. How it Works:Filter by Group Category when configuring visibility on Courses, Paths, Plans, and Pages. This dropdown filter is available directly within your existing visibility settings Apply visibility settings to all groups within a category in bulk Looking to learn more about visibility settings? Visit our Help CenterOverride default visibility setting to include group category visibility 👉 Learn More  📅 Bulk Create ILT Events via CSV UploadAnother time saver for Skilljar admins, you can now bulk create ILT events by uploading a CSV file directly from your dashboard without API, developer support, or manual entry required. Simply prepare your event data in a spreadsheet and upload it all at once.This is valuable for organizations who plan events in bulk cycles (think: hundreds of events scheduled twice a year). Previously, this meant tedious one-by-one creation in the dashboard or a technical implementation, neither ideal for teams without dedicated developer resources. How it Works:Import events by uploading a CSV to create multiple ILT/VILT events in one action. This setting is available in your Live Training page in the Skilljar dashboard Drag your CSV file into the Skilljar dashboard to import events, use our CSV template to ensure successful upload.

Skilljar now supports Email Verification at signup, a new organization-level security setting that requires learners to confirm email ownership before accessing training when registering.When enabled, learners who signup with email/password authentication must complete registration through a secure email link before gaining access to your training domain. Adding this additional layer of verification helps you:Strengthen security for open registration domains Reduce spam and bot signups Ensure learners register with valid, owned email addressesEmail verification also supports compliance and consent best practices, including widely adopted “Double Opt-In” standards in the EU. While not universally required under GDPR, confirming email ownership helps organizations demonstrate stronger consent controls and reduce fraudulent or unauthorized access. Security Without Added Friction Our goal was to make this as easy as possible for learners, guiding them through an experience built on Skilljar’s existing invite workflow. After entering their email on your sign-up page, they’ll receive a secure, single-use link in their inbox. Until verification is complete, they do not have access to training.When they click the link, they’re taken to the familiar completion form to set and confirm their password. Once finished, they’ll be automatically logged in and redirected to the course catalog or specified destination. Completion email sent to learner’s inbox to complete verification Additional DetailsThis setting is controlled at the Organization level and applies to all domains within your organization. It applies to email/password (local) authentication only. SSO users and admin-invited learners are not affected. If a learner mistypes their email or lets the link expire, they can return to the signup page and re-enter their email to receive a new link. The link is valid for 7 days. Existing learners can continue logging in as usual, verification is required only for new self-signups after the setting is enabled.Check out the Release Notes for additional setup details.
