Product Updates - Week of July 27th, 2026

New features added this week

  1. Course Admin configuration improvements
    1. Previously, after creating a course, course creators were presented with a static page of instructions for configuring the course. The Configure tab has now been updated to automatically display the most commonly used course settings, allowing course creators to begin configuring and publishing their course immediately.
    2. The following settings are now available on the Configure tab:
      1. Overview: The course Name, Short description, and Long description
      2. Settings: Course code, Section code, Location, Credits, Organization, Language, and Time zone
      3. Enrollment: Allow learners to enroll, Open enrollment, and Allow learners to retake the course
      4. Completion: Enable or disable automatic course completion
      5. Catalog: Publish the course to the catalog
      6. Categories: Edit or add course categories
    3. Any changes made on the Configure tab are automatically reflected on the corresponding section with the Admin tabs.
    4. The updated Configure tab is now available from the Admin fly-out menu for all courses on all CYPHER for business and CYPHER for academia platforms.
    5. To learn more, visit the Configure tab section of the Configure courses and classes article.

Behind the scenes

  1. iPad course calendar: Resolved a sizing issue that caused the bottom of the calendar to be truncated when viewed in landscape mode on iPads. Users can now view all calendar dates as expected.
  2. Portal visual editor: For Carousel slides, the Insert image buttons have been removed from the editor to prevent errors caused by placing inline images over the background image.
