Content Type Filtering for Completion Reporting

Content authors now designate a type for their content, and completion reporting in Insights uses this designation for filtering – so you keep meaningful content-type breakdowns as legacy content migrates into Mixed content.

Accurate Quiz and Assessment Reporting Data

Assessment reports now show who observed each attempt, and question names in SCORM and cmi5 modules are cleaned up so a question a learner retakes shows under one name instead of several. No action needed – this is a backend data improvement only.

Content Creator by Default

File, Article, E-learning, Link, and Quiz on the Create new content screen now open Content Creator with the matching block already added. The legacy tools are still available in a collapsed section at the bottom of the screen until they retire at the end of 2026. Existing content isn't affected.

Content Creator: Multi-Page Content

Creators can now split a single piece of content into distinct pages instead of one long scrolling page. Learners navigate between pages, with a progress count (for example, “1 of 5”) showing what’s left to open.

No

Content Podcasts

Learners can now generate AI audio – podcast, bulletin, or read-through – for any eligible mixed content item, once an admin turns on AI audio for the tenant. Desktop only at launch.

Content Rating

Learners can rate mixed content from one to five stars and add an optional private note. Turn it on in Configure > Content > Ratings with Let learners rate content. Admins and authors see the results on the content's Activity tab. Ratings are never shown to other learners.

Content Type Categorisations

Creators can now choose a content type while publishing in Content Creator, such as Article, Quiz, or E-learning. The type replaces the generic "Mixed" label on content cards and lets people filter by content type in search, homepage blocks, and Manage Content. You can change the type after publishing.

Admin Recommended Widgets

Admins can now recommend specific widgets to chosen audiences, surfacing them directly in users’ Hubs. Users can add a recommended widget to customise it, or dismiss it – recommendations can’t be made mandatory, and a dismissed widget stays hidden until an admin recommends it again.

Kiki Content Review Against Organisation Content Standards

Authors can ask Kiki to check their content in Content Creator against your organisation's standards, such as tone of voice, learning goals, and words to avoid. Admins set the standards in Configure > AI features > Content Creator Kiki review. Suggestions are guidance only and never block publishing.

Self-Service AI Tool Connections

Admins can now connect AI tools (such as Claude or ChatGPT) to Thrive themselves in the new MCP server screen under Configure > AI features – no need to wait on Thrive to set it up.

Chat Notifications

If someone is offline when they receive a new chat message, Thrive now emails them to let them know, with a link straight to the conversation. Thrive waits 15 minutes after the first message before sending, sends only one email per period away, and never includes the message content.

No

Content Rating for Mobile

Learners can now rate mixed content from one to five stars, with an optional private note, at the end of the content in the Thrive Mobile App. An admin needs to turn on Let learners rate content on web first.
