Course progress performance

We’ve enhanced how course activity is tracked in the background — including events like ending an instruction, completing a module or section, and completing a course. This data powers the course progress visualization for users.

With increased usage of courses and progress tracking, we identified some inefficiencies in how this data was processed. We’ve optimized these areas! While the actual improvement varies depending on the data within each SelfGuide tenant, our test cases showed performance boosts of up to 20x!

Embed instruction (preview)

Integrating SelfGuide more deeply in the IT-landscape is a long-term objective we're actively working on. This goal is huge with ideas for native integrations with third party applications, rich content integrations, and data synchronization to third-party applications.

A major step towards this vision is the new embed instruction functionality, a long-awaited feature. It allows editors to make an instruction available directly within a third-party application, enabling users to interact with those instructions without ever leaving the external application.

This functionality is in preview and will be released in the near feature. If you're interested in early access or have any questions, feel free to contact gert.kienhuis@selfguide.com.

Minor changes

Using the REST API with a guest application identity now returns guest urls for instructions
The password field on the login form has auto focus if the username is already known
When switching between list and tile views, the paging is now reset for a more intuitive experience

Bugfixes:

Delete of a content channel led to an error page, the content channel was actually deleted but the page could not be updated
A bug has been resolved that caused the interface to incorrectly appear as though the wrong course had been deleted. In reality, no incorrect deletion occurred, the issue was only visual.
