Notes: July 5th Release

Please note: In the interest of informing our customers as early as possible of any platform changes, we are sharing these release notes in advance of the software release. The final updates may vary and will be documented accordingly.

Authoring & Blueprint Creation

Refreshed Authoring Navigation and Blueprint Landing Page
The Authoring left navigation has been reorganized, with Exam Blueprints now listed as the first menu option ahead of Job Task Analyses. Admins now land on the Exam Blueprints tab immediately after login, and the organization filter defaults to a single organization automatically or remembers your last selection across portals. All existing functionality remains unchanged.

New Card Menu for Starting an Exam Blueprint
Starting a new exam blueprint now begins with a card based menu that lays out each creation method side by side. Each card includes a short description of what that method involves, and cards that use AI display a sparkle icon to call out that capability. The available starting points are creating a blueprint from scratch or building one from an existing Certiverse Job Task Analysis.

Streamlined Flow for Creating a Blueprint from a New Job Task Analysis
Selecting Start With a JTA from the blueprint creation menu now guides users directly through creating a new Job Task Analysis and into the Authoring Blueprint. The Job Task Analysis Info section has been renamed to Exam Blueprint Info and now includes Exam Blueprint Name, Assessment Level, and a new required Exam Duration field, alongside the shortened Minimally Qualified Candidate Info section. Existing Job Task Analyses are not affected by this change.

Faster Blueprint Creation from an Existing Job Task Analysis
Selecting Use a Certiverse JTA from the blueprint creation menu now takes users directly to the Create Exam Blueprint screen, reducing the number of navigation steps required. Fields such as Exam Blueprint Name and Assessment Level are automatically filled in from the selected Job Task Analysis, though they remain editable before saving. All other blueprint creation behavior stays the same.

Simplified Manual Blueprint Creation Flow
Selecting Start From Scratch from the blueprint creation menu now opens a streamlined Create Exam Blueprint screen focused on manual setup. The Blueprint Info section has been renamed to Exam Blueprint Info and the Minimally Qualified Candidate section to Minimally Qualified Candidate Info, and the Organization field has been removed from this screen since it is now selected earlier in the flow. No other blueprint functionality has changed.

Renamed Build Blueprint Button and Updated Status Labels
The Publish JTA button has been renamed to Build Blueprint and now takes users through a short two step flow, first confirming the Job Task Analysis is ready and then asking whether AI should generate topic descriptions before moving into the Authoring Blueprint. Status labels have also been updated for clarity, with Completed replacing Published for finished Job Task Analyses and Authoring replacing In Progress in the Status filter. This does not change how existing Job Task Analyses or blueprints are stored.

AI Bulk Content Generation

New Toggle to Enable AI Bulk Content Generation
An Enable AI Bulk Content Generation toggle has been added under Admin > Blueprints > AI Configuration, giving Organization Admins and SuperAdmins control over which blueprints can use AI generated items. New blueprints have this setting turned on by default, while existing blueprints start with it turned off until an admin enables it. When the toggle is off, the AI Bulk Generation option does not appear in Item Authoring for that blueprint.

AI Bulk Generation Entry Point in Item Authoring
An AI Bulk Generation button now appears in Item Authoring for every blueprint. Before generation can start, the platform runs a series of pre-flight checks, such as confirming the feature is enabled for the blueprint and that all topics have descriptions, and shows a clear message if any check fails so the issue can be resolved before continuing.

Review and Add Reference Content Before AI Generation
Once pre-flight checks pass, users can open a new sidesheet to review the reference content already loaded for their blueprint before starting AI generation. The sidesheet shows whether enough content is available to meet the blueprint's item target and lets users add supplementary material if needed, with a Generate Items button that opens a confirmation step before submitting the job.

AI Generation Now Runs in the Background
Once a bulk generation request is confirmed, the sidesheet switches to an in progress state and the job runs in the background, so users are free to continue working elsewhere while it completes. Users are notified automatically once the process finishes.

In-App Notification When AI Bulk Generation Completes
Users now receive an in-app notification when their AI bulk content generation job finishes. The notification names the blueprint and the number of items created, includes a Bulk Creation status label, and provides a View Items button that opens Item Management with the relevant blueprint already selected.

AI-Generated Items Follow Standard Review Workflow
Items created through AI bulk generation are now added to a blueprint's item bank the same way a human authored item would be, attributed to Certiverse AI. Depending on the blueprint's Accepted Reviews Required setting, generated items are added either directly as Accepted or as For Review, matching the existing review process. Individual item level emails and notifications are suppressed during bulk generation to avoid excessive notifications, since a single completion notification is sent instead.

Integrations

Schoox LMS Integration for Eligibility and Enrollment
Schoox has been added as a supported Learning Management System for exam eligibility checks. Organizations can now configure Schoox as an eligibility option in the Store, and the platform verifies a candidate's enrollment before allowing them to book an exam. When a candidate completes their exam, enrollment in the corresponding Schoox course is automatically closed.
