Release 1.6.11 - Coming Soon
This release includes powerful updates to improve control, usability, and platform accessibility. We’ve focused on refining the user experience for both admins and learners while continuing to expand platform reliability and compliance.
Version 1.6.11 will be rolling out on all sites from Sunday 10th August, 2025.
What's New 🎊
AR-8402: Reintroduced SMS for Enrolment Workflows with Built-in Compliance Controls
SMS functionality has been re-enabled for enrolment workflows, allowing users to receive a confirmation message when enrolled in a course. To reduce message fatigue, users will now receive only one enrolment SMS within a 24-hour period, even if enrolled in multiple courses during that time. Each site is also capped at 300 non-critical SMS per month. Critical messages like MFA codes and new account setup notifications remain exempt from these limits.
Why did we do this?
We wanted to restore enrolment SMS messaging to improve learner engagement—while ensuring messages are purposeful, non-intrusive, and compliant with SMS best practices. This update balances usefulness with control by introducing daily digesting and per-site limits.
AR-8417: Export Live Learning Attendance Form Responses
Live Learning sessions now support a single export that combines participant attendance with their registration form responses. The updated Export Attendance button includes these responses as additional columns in the CSV—eliminating the need to manually merge multiple datasets.
Why did we do this?
Previously, admins and facilitators had to reconcile separate reports to gather complete session data, leading to time-consuming, error-prone work—especially in high-volume environments. This change streamlines data handling, reduces admin overhead, and supports a smoother workflow for teams managing dozens of sessions each month .
AR-8256: Transition Order Clarified in Momentum Design
We've enhanced the Momentum builder interface to make the processing order of transitions between nodes more visible. Transitions now clearly indicate their evaluation sequence, using updated visual cues like reordered blocks and directional arrows within the transition settings area.
Why did we do this?
Many users were unaware that transitions are processed top-to-bottom, and that the order can impact workflow logic significantly. This confusion often led to incorrect flow execution and increased support tickets. With this update, admins and instructional designers can now see and adjust transition order with confidence—making complex workflows easier to manage and troubleshoot.
Changes ✨
AR-8620: External API Rate Limiting by API Key
Rate limiting has been introduced across all external API requests, applying a strict request threshold of 60 requests per minute. Clients exceeding the permitted rate will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response, in line with industry standards for API protection.
Why did we do this? This update helps ensure consistent performance and reliability by safeguarding the platform against excessive or unintended API usage.
AR-8427: Instructor Field in Live Learning Attendance Reports
The Live Learning Attendance report now includes two optional fields: Instructor and External Instructor. When enabled, each instructor’s name is displayed on its own line within the report, improving clarity and readability.
Why did we do this? Customers managing instructor-led sessions needed a simple way to track and report on who facilitated each session. This change reduces the need for manual record-keeping and supports better reporting for compliance and internal tracking.
AR-8549: Momentums Constants Dropdown UI Overhaul
The Constants dropdown used in Blueprints, Builder, and the Constant Editor has been updated to use the Acorn UI component for visual consistency.
Why did we do this? To improve design alignment and eliminate legacy styling.
AR-8261: Character Limits Now Visible on Content Inputs
Character limit hints (200 max) are now shown when entering course and live learning names.
Why did we do this? To reduce confusion when names were silently truncated.
AR-7639: Removed “Time Spent” Option from Course Progress Report
The “Time Spent” field has been removed from the options available in the Course Progress report.
Why did we do this? This field was no longer needed and often caused confusion during report creation. Its removal helps simplify the reporting experience and ensures users focus on the most relevant metrics.
Bug Fixes 🐞
AR-8639: Fixed Premature Reminders in Refresher Workflow
Resolved an issue where refresher training reminders were sent immediately after course completion due to incorrect use of the static cut-off date in reminder logic. Reminders now correctly ignore the static date and only use it to determine expiry.

Resolved an issue where admins could not select more than 15 capabilities when setting up an assessment campaign.

Fixed an issue where the Start Date in capability assessment campaign setup displayed outdated information, even after updates.

AR-8546: Fixed Fatal Error When Using userFields=true with Pagination in API
Resolved a bug that caused certain API endpoints (e.g., User Accounts, Attendance) to return a fatal error when both paginate=true and userFields=true were included in the request. These endpoints now correctly return paginated results with user field data.
AR-8547: Fixed Missing Completions in CPD Reports Due to Date Range Start Time
