Sana Learn Changelog

True/false question type

We added a new question type, true/false questions, to broaden the range of question types available. It lives with the other question types and works in a manner that is very familiar.

Schedule and edit live sessions from Manage

To streamline management of live-sessions, users can now schedule live sessions from the content page in manage, and edit them directly from the session page. Only admins and group admins with access to edit the live session can schedule a new session through Manage

Transcriptions for narrations

As part of our WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility efforts, we now transcribe all narrations - including generated, uploaded and recorded narrations. Narrations use native html5 tracks, meaning that they are fully accessible to any user. We also switched to native transcriptions for all other videos, including the video card and block on a page card.

More consistent filtering

We streamlined filtering and sorting across Create, My Library, and Teamspace pages for a smoother, more accessible experience that works seamlessly on mobile devices.

Discover page

Help learners find exactly what they need with our new Discover page. We improved the browsing experience to make content exploration more intuitive and engaging, encouraging self-directed learning across your organization. The Discover page, located in the sidebar, provides learners with a dedicated space to browse available content on the platform and explore new learning opportunities.

Improved PDF content creator

We rebuilt our PDF content creator with a smarter ingestion engine. Text extraction is more accurate, image handling works more effectively, and our reasoning approach iterates across multiple loops to enhance module grouping and interactive card creation. Text-based sources remain the most effective, but images are now handled much more efficiently than before.

Updated language models

Enhanced GPT-4.1 models now power Insights search and generative filters, delivering better results with improved reasoning capabilities. Expect more accurate answers and smarter content suggestions across the platform.

AI assistant search

Search and get answers using natural language, then chat with the results for deeper exploration. This upgrade to our existing assistant search lets learners ask questions in plain English and find knowledge instantly. Ideal for quick troubleshooting, concept exploration, and learner-driven discovery. Find it by clicking Search in the sidebar, then choose the "ask assistant" option in your search results.

AI tutor

The most effective learning doesn't happen through courses—it happens through conversations. Our new AI tutor brings this natural approach to every Sana course, creating an adaptive experience that guides learners exactly when they need support. The AI tutor will be available across all courses, providing in-course assistance that helps learners ask questions, understand complex concepts, and connect ideas as they progress. You can set default behaviors for new courses and customize settings at the individual course level.

New notifications for managers

Line managers now receive automated alerts when their direct reports have overdue content, expiring certificates, pending invitations, or failed assessments. This helps L&D teams leverage managers for learner activation and support, especially for compliance training and mandatory programs where staying on track matters. Configure notifications for email, Slack, or Teams in your organization settings.

Program unenrollment

Program enrollments now work intelligently with your changing organizational needs. Learners who no longer match enrollment rule criteria are automatically unenrolled while preserving their progress, and changes to enrollment rules apply to existing users. Perfect for organizations with evolving teams, compliance requirements, or complex enrollment scenarios. Manage these settings through your program enrollment rules.

Survey card

Create customizable surveys directly in Sana, eliminating the need for external tools like Google Forms. With various question types, including Likert scale, NPS, free text, multiple choice, and single choice, you can gather valuable feedback and measure results more effectively. Perfect for course feedback, pulse checks, and pre- or post-course assessments. Find this new card in the course editor.

Exercise submission and review dates in Insights

We added submission and review dates for exercise submissions in Insights. Admins can now see which reviewers need to pick up the pace or which submissions have gone stale, making it easier to keep feedback flowing.

Accessibility updates

We made updates to platform accessibility, including descriptive page titles across all routes, improved accessibility of modals and panels, added ARIA labels to components like progress bars and buttons, and enhanced keyboard navigation and screen reader support in Teamspace, Discover, and Survey features.

Multi-select user attributes

We now have user attributes that allow multiple values for a single user. This can be used for building automations, such as smart groups, enrollment rules, and filtering in all manage user tables, as well as improved reporting in Insights for users with multiple overlapping attributes.
