Roadmap
Please note that our roadmap is subject to change and not a guarantee of a new feature or within the outlined timeframe - sometimes things take a little longer (but sometimes they are quicker too!). If you would like to provide ideas for a feature in development or check if we have a feature on the future roadmap, please contact our support team.
In Development
Sage IA Transform. We are adding more options (both content and output) to the new Transform element.
Article Deprecation. See below.
Scheduled Next
Continuing Education. Admins will be able to set CE goals for users and track completion to those goals per CE reporting period. Plus some new Analytics reports about Continuing Education.
Customised email notifications. Admins will have the ability to customise email notification text (note that this feature will only be available on Active/Business plans).
Pathway scheduled release. Admins will be able to schedule the timed release of topics within a pathway, to drip feed topics over a scheduled period of time instead of all at once.
Bulk download of files / certificates. We are investigating ways for admins to do a bulk download of uploaded files or certificates of completion (e.g. into a zip file).
Substantial revisions to the Learner Homepage - updated UI, new Dashboard view, new Calendar view, improved Profile and Team pages, reporting for Team leaders and more. This substantial upgrade will start in December and run through to February.
Deprecation Notices
Article merge into Topics. We will be merging articles into topics by February 2025. This means that 'articles' will no longer exist as a separate type of knowledge but will instead become 'topics'. Topics will have a 'Standard Topic' mode (which is what topics are now) and a 'Simple Topic' mode (which is what articles are now). No changes are required by any organisation and no data or content will be lost - articles will simply become topics with 'Simple Topic' activated. For admins, however, this will greatly simplify reporting and enrolments as everything will be a Topic. In addition, creators will now be able to switch between Standard and Simple topics on their own. This deprecation process is therefore largely about removing the word 'article' from our user interface. Changes started on 22 January 2025 and should take about 2-3 weeks to be completed. Please follow changes in the Change Log below.
Activities removal. We will be deprecating the Activities feature within topics by April 2025. As we have developed more elements for creators over the last few years, the existing Activities function within topics is now less powerful and flexible than having creators use existing elements to create the same experience. To simplify the creation process, we will therefore deprecate the Activities option within topics. Existing topics using Activities will not be impacted - they will continue to work. However, no new Activities will be able to be created. All library content will be updated to remove Activities (and replace with similar content within the parts of the topic). To assist with this, we will also increase the number of parts allowed within a topic to 20 at the same time. Learn more about how to replace your old Activities in this article.
Old Events Element removal. The Old Events Element was replaced by the New Events Element in July 2024. At that time, no more old events could be created but existing old events could still be used. We will be entirely removing the Old Events Element in January 2025. Admins should ensure they have downloaded all historical data from Old Events and removed them from their topics as necessary.
Changelog for 2025
Tip: All 2024 changes have been moved to a separate article.
22 January 2025 (Release 10820)
Deprecation Work - We have begun the process of deprecating Articles (see above). This is a 2-3 week process, during which time there may be some small inconsistencies in the UI as we remove instances of 'article' and replace it with 'topic'. This update changes the following:
The filters to select topics and articles for pathways, analytics and the 'Enrol in knowledge' bulk action no longer reference articles. Instead, all articles are now shown with topics (so Active Topics includes all topics and articles).
The Timelines report no longer have separate events for Articles. All previous Article events are now Topic Events (so Article Updated is now shown as Topic Updated).
Feature - Sage AI Transform updated! Big update - creators can now select from existing elements in a topic (or an entire section of elements, an entire part or even the entire topic) to provide content for Transform. This means creators can, say, select an existing Narration as the content and then quiz as the Output to make a quiz from the script of that Narration. This feature is available for all organisations with Sage AI Transform access to should further accelerate content creations. Learn more here!
Tweak - We've added a Spinal Tap's worth - 11 - new characters to Scenario! There are now over 40 characters with yet more to come in the next few weeks.
Tweak - The keyword search on Admin/People now works for a search phrase (e.g. Tribal Habits) rather than just one word (Tribal). So you can now search for someone using their first and last name. π
Tweak - The Scenario element in Creator mode is now wider (which makes it look closer to the full width of the learner version).
Fix - EEEK! When we updated Hotspot last week to the new creator UI, it broke the first two markers on newly created Hotspots. That's fixed.
Fix - When a part has an assessable element (like an assessable Upload) and the element was failed, the final 'complete this part' button was styled red and disabled. The wording on that red button was also red, so this didn't meet WCAG requirements! It does now and is much easier for everyone to read.
Fix - In certain situations, when copying a Glossary between topics, the items in the copied Glossary would appear in a different order. Now they will copy in the same order as the original Glossary. Note that this wont fix Glossaries already copied with this issue - you will need to recopy.
Fix - Users were unable to clear the expiry date of a Certificate saved in External Knowledge - they can now.
Fix - When a topic had an Assessment enabled and toggled some quizzes to only show in the Assessment and then disabled the Assessment without changing the setting on those quizzes, those quizzes become 'invisible'! It's pretty rare, but we fixed it anyway so the quizzes remain visible in this edge case.
Fix - When editing the Scenario element, creators couldn't 'Cancel' their changes (to revert to previous version). They can now.
16 January 2025 (Release 10749)
Feature - Sage AI Transform updated! We've added all the interact layouts to Sage AI Transform (for organisations on Active/Business/Stored plans). These are more complex transformations and can generate a Process layout with steps, an Acronym layout (which is quite fun), Timelines layout for events occurring over a time period plus tabs, lists, flipcards and more.
Tweak - Interact element now accepts up to 20 items and has the improved drag and drop UI seen in the new Slideshow element.
Fix - When copying the new Slideshow element, it wasn't always immediately displaying the images in the slideshow to creators, which made it hard to realise the element had been copied. That's fixed now.
15 January 2025 (Release 10737)
Feature - Sage AI Transform is available! Our next piece of AI technology has launched. Sage AI Transform allows creators to transform existing content into Tribal Habits elements. We are initially launching with plain text content and outputs of Quizzes and Accordions, but there are lots more content and output options coming over the next few weeks. Note that access to this feature, including certain content and output options, requires certain plans. Learn more in this article.
Tweak - Narration and Hotspot elements now accept up to 20 items and have the improved drag and drop UI seen in the new Slideshow element.
Tweak - PDF Topic now includes Scenario, Slideshow and Event elements.
Fix - The description text box for the Overview image in a topic went missing - its back from its holiday and visible again.
Fix - The recent update to our Zapier integration to fire the Update Person trigger for deactivated/reactivated people stopped firing. It's firing again now!
8 January 2025 (Release 10662)
Feature - New Slideshow element is available! We have a new element for creators to kick off 2025 - slideshow. This element allows creators to add up to 20 images into a scrolling slideshow, including captions. Learn more in this article!
Tweak - We have updated our Zapier application so that the trigger for an updated person is now also triggered if the person is deactivated (or reactivated) or becomes an admin (or is no longer an admin).
Tweak - We have restricted the Overview image in topics to be JPG or PNG to help with some compatibility requirements with certificates of completion and topics which are showing the overview image on the certificate. Note that PNG images must be non-interlaced PNGs (which are the majority of PNGs, but some older image editors may also create interlaced PNGs, which are not compatible with the PDF format of our certificates of completion and can result in errors).
Fix - Seems like we had a little error with Activities (reminder - they are being deprecated in the next few months). That's fixed!
7 January 2025 (Release 10514)
Happy New Year!
Tweak - Admins can now filter All People by Language. The Admin/People table now displays languages for each user and the CSV download for users includes their language. The Public API can now also set languages for users.
Tweak - The Analytics reports for Completed Dates and Certified Dates now only display Enrolled People in the table when that option is selected (to see all people, select the All People option).
Tweak - We've added tool tips to various options in Creator mode to help out new Creators.
Tweak - Certificates of Completion now once again show the Overview image from a topic if that topic has that option enabled. NOTE: Overview images should be small (both in pixels and size) to fit onto the Certificate template. Also, Overview images must be JPG or non-interlaced PNG format.
Tweak - The Analytics/Downloads table is finally fixed so that if you have a really complex and long filter, you can now still see the Download column on the table without having to Zoom out! At last!
Fix - The Scenario element wasn't displaying correctly on some mobile devices - now it is!
