Product Updates

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/. 

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. This template is linked within the event import settingImport events by visiting your Live Training page in the Skilljar Dashboard Format your CSV using our template for successful upload  👉 Learn More

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.

Managing course content no longer means endless clicking. You can now select multiple items across Assets, SCORM, Quizzes, and Question Banks and take action in bulk. Consider this a small but mighty update from us to you, just in time for Valentine’s Day. 💝 Bulk DownloadAvailable for: Assets, SCORMYou’re sharing files with an internal team or keeping a local backup before a major refresh.

We are excited to share that all Skilljar documentation now lives in the Gainsight Help Center, so it’s easier to find, explore, and use Skilljar help content alongside other Gainsight products.Here’s what’s changing!All existing Skilljar help articles now remain available in the new location. Any upcoming content will be published in the new location. The previous Skilljar documentation site is still available, but no longer being updated. This site will be retired once post-migration checks are complete. If you visit this site, you’ll see a banner on top directing you to the new location. Please update any bookmarks or saved links to point to the new home.A quick note on ongoing updatesWhile all existing and new Skilljar documentation is now placed in the Gainsight Help Center, we’re still completing some link redirect work.During this transition, you may occasionally see a link that takes you to the old Skilljar documentation site. If that happens, please note the article title, and as a temporary workaround, search for the article directly in the Gainsight Help Center.Rest assured, we’re actively working to identify the required redirects and are moving quickly to put them in the right location.Why this move matters?Skilljar documentation is now part of the Gainsight Help Center, alongside documentation for other Gainsight products. This helps in a few important ways: A more consistent documentation experience. Familiar structure, navigation, and style standards that make content easier to scan and understand. A shared information architecture makes it more intuitive to find what you’re looking for. Continued improvements to search, usability, and content quality apply consistently across Skilljar documentation. If you have any questions or spot something missing, please reach out to docs@gainsight.com or Gainsight Support.Thanks for your continued support—we look forward to making Skilljar documentation even easier to use.

Two small updates to make your life easier: mark content complete automatically with our new Course Action, and enjoy smoother performance thanks to completed API pagination updates. Skilljar Course Action: Complete Content ✔️Now live in the Completion & Post-Completion section of the Course Actions tab, Complete Content lets you automatically mark selected courses, paths, or plans as complete when a learner finishes the trigger course. How it works:If a learner already has an active enrollment, the selected course, path, or plan will be marked complete. This action supports all completion triggers: pass or fail, pass only, or fail only. If a learner does not have an enrollment, they’ll be enrolled and marked complete instantly, with the same enrolled_at and completed_at timestamp. Note: Only top-level completion is recorded e.g. if this action is used to mark a course as complete, lesson progress will not be reflected in Course Analytics. Only the top-level course object will appear as completed. Use it when:You want to move learners along an automated learning workflow, like marking foundational content complete for power users who’ve already gone through similar training, or auto-completing onboarding content once a capstone course is finished. Where to find it:Skilljar Dashboard → Courses → Select a Course → Actions Tab → Completion or Post-Completion Actions Check out the Help Center article for more details. Complete Content now available in Completion & Post-Completion Skilljar Course Actions  Skilljar API Pagination Update Complete 🛠️ Skilljar has updated our API pagination settings to improve reliability and performance for all customers, and to better align with how APIs operate across the industry.The default page size will remain 100 items per page; except those pages that previously returned up to 1000 results will now return 250 by default The maximum page size for all requests will change from 10,000 to 1,000If your integration already uses standard pagination practices (such as iterating through pages until all data is retrieved), no changes are needed, you may simply notice that larger datasets require a few additional requests.This update will help ensure consistent API performance and stability for all Skilljar customers.Visit our Help Center to learn more. 

You can now add and manage footer links—like Privacy, Terms, and key resources—without having to use custom HTML. And to keep things tidy, we’ve added support for dropdowns for both your header and footer, so you can group related links easily.Plus, we’ve shipped behind-the-scenes upgrades to make your experience smoother across the board, from usability and reporting to accessibility. Nothing flashy, just the kind of thoughtful improvements that quietly make your day better. Here’s what’s new: New Dropdowns for Header Link ManagementYou can now add additional links to your site’s header and group them into dropdown menus, making it easier to guide learners to the right resources. Whether it's reference materials, help docs, or other training content, you can keep everything organized and accessible from the top of the page. Admin Experience: Add and order your links under the appropriate dropdown Academy/Learner Experience: Example of dropdown links in header Consistent Footer Links ManagementInstead of relying on custom HTML, you can now manage footer links the same way you manage header links. Add link names, set the order, organize dropdowns, and publish updates easily.  Admin Experience: Manage footer links with the same organization as header links Academy/Learner Experience: Example of dropdown links added to footer Small enhancements & improvements: Click-to-Copy Functionality in Publication Settings We’ve added copy icons to make grabbing key values quicker and more intuitive in Publication Settings:URL Field: You’ll now see a copy icon next to the slug input. Clicking it copies the full URL (prefix + slug) to your clipboard. SKU Field: A new copy icon in the Purchase Settings section lets you instantly copy the SKU, without triggering the flyout.Both icons include tooltips to confirm when a value has been copied. This enhancement also supports optional copy functionality at the component level in summary callouts, making it easier to reuse this pattern elsewhere. Domain Filter Added to Drill-Down Course AnalyticsYou can now filter by domain when viewing drill-down Course Analytics.Previously, domain filtering was only available on the high-level Course Analytics view, making it difficult to analyze data by domain after clicking into a specific course. With this update, users can apply the same domain filter at the drill-down level to see exactly which students make up metrics like registrations and completions for a given domain. Filter by Unpublished Courses in Course ManagementYou can now filter for unpublished courses in Course Management to easily review, clean up, or take action on drafted content. Other bugs and fixes:Training credits will now be enabled by default for all new organizations. Existing organizations’ training credits will remain unchanged. You can now view tags associated with live events in the CSV download—displayed as a comma-separated list in a new “Tags” column at the end of the file. Student Manager permissions can now be automated via API, making it easier for teams to assign training management access directly from systems like Salesforce, without manual setup in the dashboard. Made small visual adjustments to the Course Management header in the dashboard to improve visual alignment and overall polish. You can now filter for groups without categories to identify uncategorized groups that may need cleanup or organization. You can now download a CSV from the Labels Management page to view all labels and their associated objects in one exportable file. Bug fix that now allows Course Management pages to render correctly in Safari on desktop and mobile browsers. Accessibility Improvements The expand/collapse icons in catalog filters in the learner experience will now include alt text, improving screen reader support and overall accessibility for keyboard and assistive tech users.  Quiz titles on lesson pages in the learner experience are now properly tagged as H3s, ensuring correct heading structure for screen readers.  👀 You might’ve already noticed some of these under-the-radar improvements, we’re always looking for ways to make your day-to-day a little easier. Which one’s been your favorite?

We’ve all been there: you spot something you want to come back to, on social media, in an email, or tucked in a browser tab (or seven), and then… it’s gone.Your learners feel that same frustration when it comes to training. That’s why we built Saved Content. With a single click, learners can bookmark courses and learning paths, whether they’re halfway through or planning to start later, and always know exactly where to find them.Saved Content lives in a dedicated section at the top of their profile page, right above active enrollments, creating a personal hub they can return to anytime. What it means for admins:Encourage higher re-engagement and completion rates of in-progress courses. Deliver a more personalized, learner-friendly experience at scale. 💡Pro tip! Pair Saved Content with In-Progress Catalog Tiles to spotlight unfinished courses on Builder Pages for an extra completion rate boost. Saved Content is already live in your academy, so learners can start bookmarking courses and paths right away.👉 Check out our Help Center article for more details. 

This release expands the Skilljar API with new endpoints to help automate catalog updates, integrate with AI tools, and support headless architecture. We’ve also added smaller enhancements, like bulk quiz question uploads for admins and notification opt-outs for learners, to make everyday tasks easier. Let’s dive in! Expanded Content Management APIsWe’ve added new API endpoints and fields designed to automate content management and power AI-powered workflows. Here’s what’s new—and how you can use them: 📖 Catalog Page ManagementEndpoints: Create, update, and delete catalog pages and content that appears on that page: a specific course, learning path, webinar recording, PDF, certification exam, etc. Keep your catalog fresh by syncing directly with your CMS/DAM (see below). Automate content placement as new courses or resources are published. CMS (Content Management System): A tool that helps you create, organize, and publish content on a website without needing to code.  DAM (Digital Asset Management): A tool for storing and organizing digital files like images, videos, and documents so your team can find and use them easily.  🎓 CoursesEndpoints: Add and manage labels, delete courses, filter by label name. New fields for course metadata (promo_image_url, created_at, & time-tracking fields). Auto-tag or organize courses programmatically; push AI-generated promo images or time-to-complete estimates into your course metadata.📚 Published Courses & PathsEndpoints: For courses, full Create, Review, Update, Delete (CRUD), plus set rules for prerequisites, re-enrollment rules, visibility overrides, and tags. For paths, full CRUD, including labels, tags, and path items. New fields (created_at,slug,modified_at) Automate how and when learners see content. With an AI content tool, you can now publish a new course to Skilljar and automatically set prerequisites, visibility rules, and labels so it fits into the right learning path and audience segment, without admins manually configuring it in the dashboard.🏷 Tags & LabelsEndpoints: Full CRUD for tags and labels. Streamline how content is classified; use AI tools to auto-tag courses based on content.💲 License PackagesEndpoints: Add or update students in license packages via API.   Manage access automatically if you’re using License Packages. Add learners as soon as they’re provisioned in your CRM or HRIS.📝 AssessmentsEndpoints: Manage question banks, quizzes, and individual questions programmatically. Generate quiz questions with AI (e.g., from transcripts or lessons) and publish them straight into Skilljar. Refresh existing question banks at scale.📂 Other EnhancementsNote: These endpoints are listed in a separate category because they affect the admin side of Skilljar (things like deleting assets, updating path fields) rather than the learner side.Endpoints: Delete assets, lessons, and web packages; new fields for paths (promo_image_url, short_description, long_description_html, header_html,course_name_singular) Keep content clean and up to date; push AI-authored course summaries or descriptions directly into Skilljar.  What Does This Update Unlock?Automate content updates across large catalogs. Enable AI-powered content creation and publishing with partners like LearnExperts or Parta.io—or your own integrations. Support headless architectures by giving developers the ability to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) courses and paths entirely through the API, without relying on the Skilljar dashboard UI.⚠️ Note: Our expanded APIs open the door for integrations with AI-powered content tools that can generate and publish content directly into Skilljar. With technical expertise, you can build similar workflows on your own, but success will depend on your ability to prompt, program, and connect these tools effectively. These are not out-of-the-box capabilities; but rather options for teams ready to leverage APIs and AI together.👉 See our API documentation for more information.  Bulk Upload Quiz QuestionsAdmins can now bulk upload quiz questions directly from the Dashboard, making quiz and question bank creation faster and easier.

Available now on Professional and Enterprise plans, License Packages are now part of our new External Management suite; built to give your partners and customers more control without giving them access to your Skilljar dashboard.For organizations that license training, managing them can be... a bit messy. Manual tracking, adding students one by one, using spreadsheets or clunky workarounds. License Packages solve that.Now, Student Managers—users without Skilljar dashboard access—can assign, track, and reassign licenses to students directly in your branded Academy. It’s a simpler, scalable way to manage paid training for external teams, while giving you full visibility and permission control from the dashboard.With License Packages, you can: Create and allocate License Packages to specific Student Managers from the Skilljar dashboard (💡 Pro tip! Automate this process by using our API, Salesforce integration, and custom objects) Let Student Managers handle License Packages directly in your Academy, never in your dashboard. They’ll see which students are enrolled, completions, and whether each student is active in the package. This capability makes it easier to scale training programs, give external teams the access they need, and avoid the delays and deal blockers that come from limited permissions.🕹️ Try it out in Skilljar Academy📚 See how License Packages fit into the bigger picture → [Read the blog]🔗 Learn more in our Help Center 

It’s a familiar scenario: a learner returns to your Academy but doesn’t remember where they left off. That small moment of uncertainty can disrupt progress, lower engagement, and result in incomplete training. So we fixed it.What’s New:We’ve added a personalized content block on Builder Pages that automatically displays each learner's in-progress courses. No workarounds for you, no guesswork for your learners; just a clear path to continue learning the moment they log in to your Academy.You spend a ton of time designing impactful training. Let's make sure learners know where to go next, so they don't stall out. 🔗 Check out the Help Center article to see how to add this content to Builder Pages.

Our goal is to make Skilljar as flexible as possible. That’s why we’ve invested in interoperability with modern tools and file types—now supporting the launch of xAPI (cmi5) content, including the ability to syndicate xAPI courses across Skilljar organizations using Content Syndication. We’ve also upgraded to the latest Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 protocol for improved compatibility with third-party platforms. Here's what's possible with xAPI (cmi5) content support:🚀 Embed xAPI (cmi5) content from third-party tools like Articulate directly into Skilljar content, or launch it from a link within the lesson window📊 Track xAPI lessons just like SCORM, with completions, progress, and scores captured in Skilljar analytics If you use Content Syndication:🔗 Share xAPI (cmi5) courses across Skilljar organizations using the existing Content Syndication workflow🧭 Track course analytics in both the host and receiving organizations, all within your dashboard✏️ Maintain control over your content with course updates automatically syncing across both organizations______LTI 1.3 Now Available for All Customers:We’ve also upgraded our support for the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocol to version 1.3, the latest version of the standard. This update improves security and compatibility when integrating with third-party platforms like LinkedIn Learning and gives you more flexibility when bringing external content into Skilljar.What is LTI 1.3—and why should you care?LTI 1.3 is a secure industry standard that lets Skilljar connect with external learning platforms without forcing learners to log in twice or switch between systems.Here’s what that means in practice: One click, straight to the content. Learners launch third-party lessons from Skilljar without redirects or extra logins. Progress that syncs. When a learner finishes an external course, Skilljar gets the completion data automatically and marks the lesson complete. It’s a smart solution if you: Use third-party content but still want tracking and completion in Skilljar Offer compliance or certification training that lives outside your platform Want to simplify the learning experience across multiple tools Looking to get started? Learn how to set up LTI 1.3 integrations in our Help Center.
