Product updates

Category: Netex Author

Netex Cloud. March 2026 Second Release

Code blocks in the Authoring tool

You can now insert source code blocks directly into content created with Author.

✔︎ Clearer, more professional content that’s much easier to read.

More supported file types in Drive

We’ve expanded the range of supported formats in Drive, so you can work with more resource types from a single place.

New supported formats:

  • Office documents: spreadsheets, presentations and text documents
  • Audio files: such as MP3, WAV and other common browser-compatible formats

For audio files, an integrated player is now available, allowing users to listen directly within the platform. 🎧

✔︎ Greater flexibility to adapt learning assets to different business and tracking needs.

Experts can now use content from Drive

The Experts functionality takes another step forward: it is now possible to add knowledge from Drive directly into an Expert.

Experts can currently use the following as knowledge sources:

  • PDF
  • SCORM
  • xAPI

This enables more enriched responses, combining content not only from the LMS but also from Drive—always respecting each user’s access permissions.

✔︎ More powerful Experts, better connected to your resources and more effective in answering real-world questions.

New tag-based search filter in the LMS

A new search criterion has been added to the LMS: tag-based search.

Users can now find content more precisely using associated tags, in the same way they already do with other search fields.

✔︎ Faster and more intuitive access to the right learning content.

Note: this functionality is available in environments already using the latest version of carousels/search.

Redesigned job role view

The job roles screen has been redesigned to provide a more visual and intuitive experience. Key improvements include:

  • Updated colour scheme for easier reading
  • Visual indicators of current and target levels for each competency
  • More detailed insights when selecting a competency
  • Direct access to related content to continue improving each skill

✔︎ Result: clearer progress visibility and more effective navigation.

Netex Cloud. February 2026 First Release

AUTHORING TOOL

AI Image Generation: Your Visual Ideas, Instantly

Create personalised images with text directly from the authoring tool. Now you can transform any concept into a unique image for your backgrounds or sections, without leaving the editor.

Three ways to create your images:

  1. From scratch: Describe what you need and the AI generates it.
  2. From a base image: Use a reference image to guide the creation.
  3. Improve what you already have: Upload an image and ask the AI to optimise or modify it.

What’s in it for users?

  • Say goodbye to generic image banks: create unique visuals aligned with your message.
  • Save time on searching and external editing.
  • Greater visual coherence across your content.

✓ More attractive and personalised content, with no additional effort.

Automatic Video Transcription: Accessibility at the Click of a Button

Automatically generate text for your MP4 videos directly from the authoring tool. It makes reading easier for all your users and effortlessly meets WCAG accessibility standards (Level AA).

How does it work?

  1. Upload your MP4 video to the content.
  2. Activate automatic transcription with a single click.
  3. The system generates the complete text, ready to display or download.

Why it matters

  • Universal accessibility: Ensures all users, including those with hearing impairments, can access the content.
  • Regulatory compliance: Achieves WCAG Level AA without manual effort.
  • Improved experience: Users can read whilst watching the video, reinforcing comprehension.

✓ More inclusive videos, with no technical effort or additional time.

Enhanced Question Generator: From Your PDFs to Intelligent Assessments

The AI question generator is now even more powerful. In addition to creating assessments based on your course content, it can analyse one or more PDF files from your Drive to generate questions automatically.

What can you do now?

  • Select PDFs from your Drive as the source for questions.
  • Combine course content with information from external documents.
  • Generate complete assessments without writing a single question.

Direct benefit

  • More agility: Repurpose technical documentation, manuals, or existing materials.
  • Greater variety: Create assessments based on multiple sources of knowledge.
  • Less manual work: The AI does the heavy lifting whilst you review and adjust.

✓ Richer and more varied assessments, generated in minutes rather than hours.

Smarter Question Banks: Each Student, a Different Exam

You can now configure your assessments so that the order of answer options from questions drawn from question banks changes automatically for each student.

What’s the benefit?

This improvement adds an additional layer of randomisation: not only are different questions drawn from the bank for each student, but the answer options for each question also appear in a different order.

What’s in it for users?

  • Fairer assessments: Reduces the possibility of copying between students.
  • Greater security: Each student faces a unique assessment, even if they share the same questions.
  • No complex configuration: Activated with a simple adjustment in the assessment settings.

✓ More robust and personalised assessments, without adding work for the author.

More Flexible Video Progress: Resume Where You Left Off

We’ve improved the behaviour of “fast forward blocking” in videos. Now, even with this option activated, you can manually skip forward to any point where you previously stopped, without having to watch it again from the beginning.

How does it work?

  • The system remembers your progress in each video.
  • You can navigate freely up to the point you previously reached.
  • The block only applies to content not yet viewed.

Why it matters

  • Better user experience: Eliminates the frustration of having to review content already seen.
  • Flexibility without losing control: Maintains the pedagogical intention of the block, but with common sense.
  • Time saving: Students can revisit specific sections without repeating the entire video.

✓ A perfect balance between formative control and respect for the student’s time.

Netex Cloud. November 2025 First Release.

SHARE

Publish when you choose

Now, in our knowledge-sharing tool, you can save a post as a draft, ensuring that it is not visible to the people subscribed to the playlist until you decide to publish it.

AI Author with human review

AUTHOR

Improvements in the content review process

The content review process in Netex Cloud’s authoring tool is now more agile, clearer, and more collaborative. We have redesigned this workflow to make the work of both authors and reviewers easier, avoiding bottlenecks and accelerating every stage of the process.

Comments and tasks directly on the content

Reviewers can add comments and create change tasks directly on the content itself, making communication and adjustment management much more direct and organised.

Temporary unit locking

To avoid simultaneous edits, authors can temporarily lock a unit while they are working on it. Fewer interferences, more peace of mind.

Faster navigation during review

During this process, sequential navigation can be unlocked to quickly access the last pages. This helps speed up reviews and move forward faster than ever.

Netex Cloud. September 2025 First release.

LMS

Assessments with tasks managed by the manager

Learning by doing! Managers can now assess tasks directly from the platform.

Tasks are a new course activity designed to evaluate learner progress, encourage active participation and develop key skills such as research and writing.

They also promote autonomy, as learners can work independently and at their own pace.

Recertification through badges

Say goodbye to complicated recertification processes!
With this new functionality, you can manage recertification automatically through badges.

The aim is to simplify the process, reducing the effort needed to create trainings and register users. This makes keeping your certifications up to date easier than ever.

In-platform communications – Newsletters (Iteration II)

More power for your internal communications! The new version of the Newsletters module allows administrators to:

  • Design bulletins with different layouts
  • Select recipients and delivery channels
  • Customise the message language

This improvement offers greater flexibility and control when communicating updates, campaigns or reminders within the platform.

Outdated theme warning

The platform will now notify you when content uses an older version of a theme. You can then update it easily and benefit from the improvements and optimisations in the latest versions.

More flexible and formative quizzes

More options to personalise the learning experience!

  • Automatic quiz restart: you will be able to configure quizzes so learners can take them again after a set period if they do not pass.

An improvement that makes the interface more intuitive and pleasant to use.

LMS.

Practical Assignments with Real Evidence

Netex Cloud LMS now includes assessment through practical assignments. Learners can submit files as evidence of learning, allowing instructors to collect and review submissions to evaluate their progress and understanding.

How does it work?

  1. The trainer sets the assignment. They define the title, description, required resources, and whether the learner needs to upload a file as evidence.
  2. The learner submits their work. They view the activity within the course and upload the required files in formats such as PDF, JPG, MP4, DOC, PPT, XLS, ZIP, etc.
  3. Assessment and feedback. The trainer reviews the submitted files, provides comments, and assigns a grade.
  4. Automatic integrations. Gamification rewards are triggered, and the overall course grade is updated for graded activities.

Benefits

  • Authentic assessment: Go beyond tests by evaluating learning through real-world evidence.
  • Complete flexibility: Supports multiple file formats and sizes.
  • Increased engagement: Boosts participation with automatic rewards and instant grading.
  • Seamless experience: Same workflow on web and mobile, with no learning curve.

Turn every submission into a learning opportunity.

AUTHORING TOOL

New level-based navigation menu

  • Page hierarchy: Organise content by importance and create visually distinct sections or chapters.
  • Full control from the panel: Show or hide pages from the navigation menu with a single click.
  • Section markers: Visually highlight the start of new chapters or thematic blocks, helping learners stay oriented.

Learn more.

Use Question Banks for Assessments

You can now create a centralised question bank in the Netex Cloud authoring tool, with single or multiple-choice questions that can be easily reused across all your content.

Managed from a single repository, updating questions or delegating their maintenance becomes much more efficient—no need to edit each unit individually.

Create dynamic quizzes by defining how many questions to draw randomly from the bank (e.g. 10 out of a total of 50), or how many per category (such as 5 from Maths and 5 from Algebra).

This allows you to offer personalised assessments to each learner—without increasing the author’s workload.

Videos now allow you to set a fixed aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 9:16, etc.) to ensure consistent, professional playback tailored to each design.

With these improvements, you gain efficiency, control, and quality in your assessments and multimedia resources.
