# Changelog Track the latest product updates for Skillsail. A running record of launches, quality-of-life improvements, and product updates across Skillsail. ## October 2, 2026 ### Translatable diagrams that follow the narration Skillsail can now create native diagram slides for a procedure with decision points, a repeating cycle, or a hierarchy. Diagrams are drawn from structured steps and connections, so every label is translated with the rest of the course instead of being baked into an image, and learners get a generated text version. When a slide has voiceover, each step appears as the narration reaches it, in every language. Pausing, seeking, or a reduced-motion setting shows the full diagram. Diagrams work in the preview and in HTML5, SCORM, xAPI, and cmi5 exports. ## September 30, 2026 ### Clear exit for unfinished quizzes When a learner tries to leave a score-based training while graded questions are still unanswered, the player now explains how many questions remain and which passing score is required. They can continue with the first open question or save and exit. Saving keeps the attempt resumable in the LMS, and when the LMS frame cannot close itself the player shows a clear closed state instead of appearing to do nothing. Courses exported before this update need a new export to receive the change. ## September 29, 2026 ### Five more interface languages Skillsail now supports Italian, French, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese, alongside English, German, and Spanish. Switch the app language in **Settings → General → Language**, or use the website’s language picker for marketing pages and docs. See [Languages and translation](/docs/concepts/languages-and-translation). ## September 24, 2026 ### Collaborate across your organization Editors can now work on every course in their organization. New Eve threads in verified internal Slack and Teams channels or group chats are shared with all active editors in that organization—including editors outside the conversation—along with the saved Eve transcript. Linked editors can contribute by mentioning Skillsail in the same thread. Personal chats, private or external conversations, groups with guests, and existing private threads keep their private audience. ### Clearer credits and complete usage history Usage can now load older ledger entries instead of stopping at the newest page. The credit summary also shows remaining included credits, reset dates, one-time grants, top-ups, and overage when they apply. ## September 23, 2026 ### Manage organization members directly Organization admins can now invite members, change roles, remove access, and resend or revoke pending invitations directly in Settings. Member activity and invitation status stay visible on the same page. ## September 21, 2026 ### Simpler training reviews The comments panel now separates slide scope from comment status, uses slide numbers for context, and keeps the comment box within reach. New reviewers can add their name with their first comment in one step. ### Settings with focused pages Settings now open in a dialog over your current work, with separate pages for general preferences, conversation channels, AI assistants, organization, members, billing, and usage. Compact controls and recognizable integration logos make each page easier to scan, and the dialog adapts to smaller screens. ### Continue older conversations in place Older or technically closed chats that can be reopened now continue in the same conversation, keeping saved messages, the course, and uploaded resources together. Chats you intentionally archived remain closed, while active work and approval requests are preserved. ## September 18, 2026 ### Smoother reviews for signed-in guests External reviewers who sign in can now comment using their profile name and manage their comments across browsers. Reviewers without a profile name can add their first and last name directly in the review panel. Signed-in and anonymous external reviewers both keep the Guest tag. ## September 14, 2026 ### Slide editing improvements In web chat, the assistant can use the slide shown in your preview as context for requests like “shorten this slide.” Two-column slides now align their column headings and text beneath the overall title. ## September 11, 2026 ### Faster image and video generation Slide images now use GPT Image 2.5 Flare at high quality, and generated videos use H3 Max at 1080p. Videos default to eight seconds and can be requested from five to fifteen seconds. Generated media continues to work in module previews and SCORM exports. ## August 30, 2026 ### Skillsail is now available as a ChatGPT plugin You can now add Skillsail directly from its [public ChatGPT plugin listing](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a5e473f608c81918cec408e518b340b) and work with your training modules from ChatGPT without turning on developer mode or pasting an MCP address. Sign in with your existing Skillsail account, or create one during setup, choose your organization, and ask ChatGPT to create, edit, translate, publish, or export your modules. Managed ChatGPT workspaces may require an administrator to approve the plugin. The [connection guide](/docs/mcp/connect) also keeps the manual custom connector setup available as a fallback. ### Upload Markdown as source material You can now attach Markdown (`.md`) files as source material when you start a module or continue in chat. Skillsail reads the text so you can ask the assistant to turn notes, briefs, or existing outlines into a learning module. - On the homepage, attach one Markdown file up to 2 MB. Other supported documents and images remain up to 20 MB - In chat, attach Markdown alongside your other source files - Markdown is authoring source only. Learner downloads in a published module stay limited to PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint See [Resources and media](/docs/concepts/resources-and-media). ## August 17, 2026 ### Review comments on by default when sharing Sharing a module now turns review comments on by default. Reviewers can still leave comments on the share link without creating an account. Authors who want a delivery-only link can turn comments off with the **Collect review comments** switch in share settings. Existing public shares that already have comments off stay off. See [Sharing and templates](/docs/concepts/sharing-and-templates). ## August 13, 2026 ### Live component gallery and complete authoring reference The [interactive content guide](/docs/interactive-content) now includes a live gallery that lets authors try representative learner components directly in the documentation. The same page provides a component-by-component reference for all 22 purpose-built interactive activities, six native slide designs, and eight graded question formats, including clear guidance on scoring, LMS reporting, exports, and how to ask the Skillsail assistant for each kind of experience. ## August 10, 2026 ### Native presentation slide designs Static statements, semantic notes, quotations, section-opening heroes, two-column comparisons, and text-over-image compositions are now native slide designs rather than interactive activities. They use the normal slide translation, managed-media, voiceover, preview, and export lifecycle. Existing modules that used the earlier JSON Render presentation blocks remain playable, while assistants now author new presentation-only content through the slide tools. The design contract contains only bounded structural choices. Labels, attributions, sources, and both columns remain ordinary localized slide text, and image overlays use a single managed slide image that is included in HTML5, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, and cmi5 packages. ## August 8, 2026 ### More visual interactions, accessible media, and scored question types Skillsail modules can now use labeled graphics, guided screenshot simulations, accessible bar and pie charts, multiple-choice practice, navigation button stacks, sandboxed web embeds, and learner download cards. Advanced managed image and quotation carousels are available when visiting a deliberate sequence in one interaction is essential. Uploaded images for visual activities are managed by Skillsail, shared across language versions, and packaged into module exports. The activity catalog now also includes spatial drag-and-drop practice over a managed image, before-and-after image comparisons, and scenarios that support either a simple card or managed backgrounds and character portraits. Static statements, notes, quotations, section openers, two-column copy, and image overlays use native slide designs rather than pretending that presentation content is an interaction. Graded questions now also support multiple-response, fill-in-the-blank, matching, image-choice, multi-region hotspot, and rich multi-blank cloze formats. Image-choice and hotspot questions use managed images in preview and packaged exports, while hotspot regions remain operable through both the image overlay and an equivalent keyboard-friendly choice list. Every format uses the same score, passing threshold, retake, and resume flow as existing multiple-choice and pick-a-side questions; typed fill and cloze resume data stores only whether the submitted answer was correct, not the learner's text. Uploaded PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can become package-local learner downloads instead of network-only links. Slide videos can carry ordered captions and a localized transcript in both full-screen and content layouts. These accessibility and download assets travel with standalone and LMS packages. Managed activity images, question images, and learner downloads can now be removed safely across every language version. Video replacement can explicitly preserve or clear earlier captions and transcripts, and visual questions and spatial placement controls now provide stronger accessible fallback and state information. The new components use the shared responsive player in editor preview, public modules, standalone HTML5, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, and cmi5 packages. They are also available to the Skillsail EVE agent and connected MCP assistants through bounded authoring contracts. ## August 7, 2026 ### Ten new purpose-built learning interactions Interactive activity slides now include dedicated process steppers, timelines, matching pairs, sequence builders, scenarios, flashcards, multiple-response practice, fill-in-the-blank practice, private guided reflections, and checklists. Each activity has a bounded authoring schema, keyboard-accessible controls, responsive learner rendering, and localized learner-facing copy. The same activities are available to the Skillsail EVE agent and connected MCP assistants, and they use the shared player in preview, public modules, standalone HTML5, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, and cmi5 exports. Practice activity answers remain local and unscored; use a standard question when the result must affect the module's passing score. ### Review comments for shared modules Public modules can now collect review comments directly on individual slides. Reviewers can join with a display name, leave threaded feedback, edit or delete their own comments, and follow resolved discussions without creating an account. Authors can reply, resolve or reopen threads, and keep the full comment history even when comments are turned off or a slide is deleted. Turn comments on or off in the module's share settings. The Skillsail assistant and connected MCP assistants can also read feedback, reply in the module owner's name, resolve or reopen threads, and update visibility, template status, passphrase removal, and comment collection together in one confirmed sharing change. See [Sharing and templates](/docs/concepts/sharing-and-templates) and [What the assistant can do](/docs/mcp/tool-reference) for the complete workflow. ## July 30, 2026 ### Microsoft Teams: chat with your assistant in Teams The Skillsail assistant is now available in Microsoft Teams. Send it a personal message, or mention **@Skillsail** in a team channel and it replies in a thread on your message. Connect your account from **Settings → Conversation channels** with a one-click link that prefills the connect message in Teams — see [Use Skillsail in Microsoft Teams](/docs/channels/teams) to get started. ## July 28, 2026 ### More flexible visual slides Slides can now combine up to four generated images in responsive stacked, split, or gallery layouts. Learners can select any slide image to open a larger view, and the same layouts are available through the Skillsail assistant and connected MCP assistants. ## July 27, 2026 ### PowerPoint imports now build learner-ready modules Skillsail can now inspect and import selected slides or ranges from an uploaded `.pptx` without loading the entire presentation at once. By default, the assistant turns the source ideas into concise, learner-focused course slides while preserving important facts, figures, quotations, and compliance language. You can ask for a close transcription when exact wording matters. - Work with a whole deck, a range, or specific slide numbers, including large presentations processed in safe batches - Use slide text and speaker notes, and reuse a suitable directly embedded image from each source slide - Retry an interrupted import without duplicating the same course slides or repeating the same visual-analysis charge The import rebuilds the material as an e-learning course; it does not reproduce PowerPoint animations, charts, SmartArt, vector artwork, master slides, backgrounds, or the complete visual composition. See [Turn a PowerPoint into a module](/docs/concepts/resources-and-media) for the workflow and current limits. ## July 13, 2026 ### Slack: chat with your assistant where your team works The Skillsail assistant is now available in Slack. Message it in a DM, or invite it to a channel and mention it when you need it — the standout feature is threads: mention **@Skillsail** mid-discussion and it reads the thread's earlier replies before answering, so your team can talk through a process and then say "turn this into a training module" without repeating anything. Add the app to your workspace and connect your account, both from **Settings → Conversation channels** — see [Use Skillsail in Slack](/docs/channels/slack) to get started. ## July 11, 2026 ### Chat with your Skillsail assistant in Telegram You can now connect your Telegram account to Skillsail and talk to your course assistant straight from your phone — create modules, edit slides, translate content, or send a photo or PDF to work into a course. Connect in **Settings → Conversation channels** with a one-tap link, and add the bot to team group chats where it responds when mentioned. See [Use Skillsail in Telegram](/docs/channels/telegram) to get started. Slack and Microsoft Teams support is on the way. ## July 9, 2026 ### xAPI, cmi5, and standalone HTML5 export Modules can now be exported as **xAPI** ("Tin Can") and **cmi5** packages, alongside the existing SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 formats. Choose the standard in the publish dialog or when starting a new module — the exported package tracks completion, scores, and resume position through your LMS or Learning Record Store. - xAPI packages send learner statements (attempted, passed, failed, completed) to your LRS and support bookmarking, so learners resume where they left off - cmi5 packages follow the modern successor to SCORM, including launch-mode handling and mastery-score criteria from your module's completion settings - Works with SCORM Cloud and any xAPI- or cmi5-conformant LMS There is also a new **standalone HTML5** export for teams without an LMS: a self-contained web package you can host on any web server. Learner progress — bookmark, quiz score, and completion — is stored in the learner's browser, so people still resume where they left off. ## July 3, 2026 ### Billing controls on the usage page **Usage & Billing** now brings plan status, shared monthly credits, plan options, billing settings, and recent usage into one place. Free organizations can choose Plus or Pro from the page. Paid organizations can switch between Plus and Pro, see when the current plan renews or ends, and keep the current plan when a scheduled change can be canceled. ## May 29, 2026 ### Self-service organization deletion Organization admins can now delete their Skillsail organization from **Settings**. See [Deleting an organization](/docs/account-deletion) for what is removed and how billing is handled. ## May 23, 2026 ### Expanded docs for course authors The Skillsail docs now cover the parts of the product that come up most often when you are building a module. New sections: - **Concepts** — modules and components, languages and translation, themes and completion, resources and media, sharing and templates, and saved versions. - **AI assistants (MCP)** — connect an outside AI assistant to your Skillsail workspace, a plain-language list of [everything the assistant can do](/docs/mcp/tool-reference), and [recipes](/docs/mcp/recipes) for common authoring jobs. The pages are written for course authors and trainers — the people actually building modules. ### Skillsail AI assistant documentation Skillsail now has public documentation for connecting MCP-compatible AI assistants to your Skillsail workspace. The guide explains how to connect an assistant, what kinds of training tasks it can help with, and what to check before publishing or sharing AI-assisted changes. - New guide: `/docs/mcp/overview` - Covers training creation, content updates, publishing, templates, resources, exports, and version restore - Written for Skillsail users and workspace admins, with a focus on day-to-day authoring tasks ## April 29, 2026 ### More free-form learning content Skillsail can now create more open-ended learning experiences alongside the slide and question formats you already use. When a standard slide is not the right fit, you can ask for a learning game, branching scenario, checklist, decision exercise, flash-card activity, simulation-style practice, or another custom learning moment. This gives you more room to describe the outcome you want instead of choosing a predefined template first. For example, you can ask Skillsail to create a quick phishing detection game, a safety decision tree, or a product knowledge practice activity, and Skillsail will build a self-contained experience for the module. - Best for practice moments, guided exploration, lightweight games, scenarios, and custom exercises - Works alongside existing slides, questions, media, translations, sharing, and exports - Designed to give authors more creative freedom without needing to write code ## April 28, 2026 ### Credit usage is now tracked Skillsail now tracks credit usage for AI features. Signed-in users can review their organization's monthly usage from **Usage & Billing** in the account menu or at [skillsail.com/usage](https://skillsail.com/usage). For current allowances, usage examples, and billing details, see [Credits and Usage](https://skillsail.com/legal/credits). ## March 10, 2026 ### A better home for public docs The documentation experience makes product updates, guides, and release notes easier to browse, share, and revisit. - Public documentation is available at `/docs` - The latest release notes live at `/docs/changelog` - Product documentation is now delivered directly through the Skillsail website ## March 9, 2026 ### Docs content is easier to reuse Changelog pages are now easier to reuse, making it simpler to copy updates into support replies, internal notes, or AI workflows.
