SparkLearn® 4.3 Release Notes

We’re excited to roll out a fresh batch of features and fixes designed to improve content creation, publishing flexibility, and overall user experience in SparkLearn. Let’s dig into what’s new:

Details:

  • Animated GIFs in Articles: Bring your content to life—animated GIFs can now be embedded directly in the body of articles. Perfect to add some personality to your learning materials.
  • Bulk Scheduling for Content: Content Managers can now bulk schedule the publishing or archiving of articles, courses, and journeys. Plan content drops or retire stale materials with fewer clicks and more control.
  • Custom Highlights & Font Colors: Add custom font colors and highlights to your article text. Emphasize important points and align content more closely with your brand.
  • Custom Bullets & Numbered Lists: You asked and we delivered. You can now customize bullet styles and number formats in your lists. 
  • Xyleme Cross Reference Mapping: We’ve added support for Xyleme’s Cross Reference element by mapping it to our new anchor feature, making it possible to have specific headings and sections within your documents.
  • Smarter Certificate Links: Certificates of completion now link directly to the course or learning journey where they were earned, offering easier reference for learners and managers.
  • Improved Dashboard Printing: Analytics dashboards now print with cleaner layouts and improved formatting, making your reports easier to read and share offline.
