This release puts powerful new tools in your hands +while making everyday tasks simpler. Here's what's ready for you now: + +๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ For Course Authors +******************************** + +:ref:`Easier Content Reuse with Libraries `: Using +Libraries, authors can now create modular units that can be +reused in multiple courses. Updates and changes to content can be managed +centrally in Libraries, with changes syncing seamlessly. Save hours of content +creation by leveraging libraries for reuse in your courses. + +:ref:`Analytics in Studio `: Studio now includes +In-Context Analytics, enabling course teams to make data-driven course improvements without switching tools. With a +new button on Course Outline and Unit pages, authors can view insights like +problem correctness rates and video rewatch patterns without leaving the Studio +page. Spot struggling students early and adjust your teaching approach in real +time. *Note: Requires use of the Aspects analytics system.* + +:ref:`More Content Blocks Enabled by Default `: To reduce +technical barriers and improve discoverability, a curated list of high-value content blocks (e.g., Google Docs, +LTI 1.3, Polls, Surveys, Word Cloud) is now enabled by default in Studio. These +can be accessed via the new โ€œAdvancedโ€ tile in the unit editor. + +:ref:`Studio UI Modernization `: Studio now features a +modern, streamlined interface by default on all sites. + +:ref:`Problem Editor Updates `: Write clearer, +more flexible problems with Markdown support in the Problem Editor. + +:ref:`Improved Preview Experience `: The โ€œPreviewโ€ +button in Studio now uses the default student experience rather than the legacy experience, letting authors +see content exactly as learners will, improving content validation during +authoring. + +๐ŸŽ“ For Learners +***************** + +:ref:`Give learners credentials they'll want to share`: In +addition to certificates, learners can now earn digital badges โ€” a +more portable, shareable credential that can be added to social media profiles +and email signatures. While certificates provide detailed achievement records, +badges offer quick, visual proof of skills that employers and peers can easily +recognize. Open edX now integrates directly with Accredible and Credly to issue +and manage these badges. + +โš™๏ธ For Site Operators +********************** + +:ref:`More flexibility for your tech team to build custom features `: More +plugin slots have been added across the platform to support easier customization and extension by your +development or operations team. + +:ref:`Your site, your brand โ€” now faster than ever `: Our +new theming system takes only seconds to change, switch, +and deploy your organization's brand themes.

Set up credentials +once and reuse them across all your tools with our streamlined LTI 1.3 plugin. + +**Beautiful Course Pages**: Your course catalog is getting a major glow-up! New, +customizable pages will help you showcase courses with modern design and full +theming support. + +**Important**: The Ulmo release will require the new theming system.
