Important Considerations about What's New Message Text
Copying and pasting pre-formatted text from third-party applications (such as Microsoft Word) is not supported; doing so can cause hidden characters to be pasted into the text field, resulting in inconsistent and improper text formatting on the What's New page.
You can create different welcome messages for different advanced user groups and domains.
If you delete the default welcome message and do not enter a custom message, no message displays and the area is blank.
In the What's New message text, using hashtags within a link from your Skillport site is not supported. Skillsoft suggests using the Share feature to generate a link to include in the message text.
The asset selection options display, as well as an image showing the placement of the assets on the Learner What's New page.
Select the Visibility:Display On Page check box.
Click Select Assets.
The Asset Selection dialog box displays the Catalog for you to browse and make your selections.
Locate the asset(s) in the left Catalog pane and click Add to add it to the Displayed Assets list in the right pane. You can select up to three assets to display in the promoted assets area. These can be either stock assets from the Skillsoft library catalogs or content that you have created and uploaded. Order these assets by using the up and down arrows. To remove an asset from the list, highlight it and click Remove.
Note: Job Aids and Skillbriefs cannot be selected as promoted assets.
Click Save.
Note: If you either do not select any assets for the What's New area or de-select the Display on Page check box, the promoted assets space will be left blank in the learner user interface.
