New Features and Enhancements

Comments on Mixed-Content Articles

Learners can now comment directly on articles that combine content like text, video, links, and downloads. Previously, commenting was limited to single-content articles only.

This enhancement supports simple, non-threaded comments, allowing learners to ask questions, share reflections, and engage socially across a broader range of learning materials.

How to Enable

Content Creators (or anyone with edit access) can enable or disable comments during the AI Content Creator publishing flow using the Enable Comments toggle. Comments are enabled by default.

What’s Coming Next

This initial release includes basic commenting functionality — non-threaded comments that support light interaction and engagement. Future updates will introduce enhancements such as threaded replies, mentions, and like counters.

UI Update: Theme Renaming and Background Colour Standardisation

As part of our ongoing UX improvements, we’ve made two updates to help create a more consistent and intuitive experience across Thrive:

  • The "Default" theme is renamed to "Light Mode" for consistency with the existing Dark Mode option.

  • A standard white background has been introduced for Light Mode to improve visual consistency across the platform and support accessibility. This change helps resolve UI inconsistencies, such as white elements clashing with off-white or grey backgrounds.

Note:

For more information, see Dark Mode.

Other Enhancements

  • Users can now manage their own comments by deleting any they've posted, while super admins have the ability to delete comments made by any user.

  • General improvements and bug fixes to enhance performance and stability.
