New Features and Enhancements as of February 10, 2026
Manage, promote, and measure learning
The items in this section provide the tools you need to manage users and content, promote learning, and measure learning effectiveness on your bottom line.
This release provides you with enhanced capabilities to manage course restarts to help ensure that learners have a clear understanding of their progression requirements.
- Choose whether to notify learners when they are restarting a course or dynamic content. This notification prepares learners that they may lose current progress by restarting. It gives them the option to proceed to restart or finish their in progress session before restarting. This is important for learners who are taking courses within a specific time frame, such as for NASBA credit. The notification is on by default.
- For customers integrating with other LMSs, you now have improved content restart settings that allow you to specify the length of time that courses from different collections retain their progress or their completion. After the duration passes, learners must restart the course. You can specify a duration anywhere from 1 to 730 days.
General announcement
This section contains general notifications about how Skillsoft supports our customers.
When learners join live Bootcamps and Leadercamps, they will join automatically with a system‑generated display name.
What learners can expect:
- Chat and Q&A with the instructor will work exactly the same.
- Display names cannot be changed or customized at this time.
- This change does not affect their progress, completion records, or certificates—those will continue to display the learner's name (if enabled on your site).
- There’s nothing you or learners need to do for this change to go into effect — no setup, no settings to change.
LX Design Studio Enhancements (Early Access)
The items in this section pertain to LX Design Studio, a content creation platform featuring a suite of AI-driven apps and tools that allows you to easily design custom content tailored to your organization's policies, programs, and skills.
You can now use the Course Designer to quickly create custom courses for your organization. Using the power of AI and Skillsoft's proven instructional design best practices, the Course Designer walks you through setting objectives, creating a course outline, scripting and design, video generation, assessment generation and translation.
After your highly-tailored course is created, you can publish it to the platform and designate to specific audiences. You can curate your new course into custom channels, journeys, assignments and learning programs.
For more details, see Course Designer.
With this release, you now have the ability to upload and manage media resources. From the Media Library tab or from within a project or workspace, users can upload relevant videos and images to be used as reference materials.
You can also transcribe video files to be used as knowledge sources when creating content.
For more details, see Media Library.
Users of LX Design Studio, now see a Profile page, where they can view their name, email, and role. They can also view just the workspaces they own and create new ones. This new page helps users understand their permissions about what they can and can’t do within LX Design Studio and provides easy viewing of just their workspaces.
We will soon be updating our AI models for the Skillsoft LX Design Studio Assessments app. Learners are not likely to notice any changes when interacting with the app.
This update is part of our commitment to staying current with the latest advancements in AI technology, ensuring that we continue to provide you with the best possible security and user experience. If you require additional information, please reach out to your Skillsoft account team.
