NEW FEATURES
Skillsoft Platform Admin
Specify the number of days, hours, or minutes your learners can remain signed in to the platform before they must sign in again.
Login timeouts go into effect the next time your learner signs out of the platform. When you change your timeout values, Skillsoft recommends you send a notification to your learners asking them to sign out of the platform.
For more information, see Security and Login.
At the top of each report, a new Prepare CSV for Download link displays in place of the old Download CSV link.
Now, instead of waiting for the CSV file to generate after you click the link, after the confirmation message displays you can navigate away from the page in the platform and check the status of your CSV file download on the new Report Download (CSV) page.

COMING SOON
Beginning in May 2020, in conjunction with the Skillsoft Content Status report, a monthly Retiring Content email will be sent to PES customers and Skillsoft Platform admins with privileges to the report. It alerts you to upcoming retiring assets, and contains a link to view the report in full.
You can opt out of this notification via the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
For more information see Retiring Content emails.
Coming next month, a new option will be available on the Engagement page in Skillsoft Platform Admin that allows you to disable all Content Status emails sent to your organization. By default, this setting will be enabled (set to On).
Users with an admin role will also have the option to individually opt in or out of these emails on their Account Information page.
