Netex Cloud. May 2026 First Release

EXPERTS

Video and audio files now supported from Drive

Until now, Experts could index Drive content in PDF, SCORM or xAPI format. From this release, that capability extends to multimedia content: videos and audio files.

This makes it much easier to leverage materials such as recorded training sessions, video pills, podcasts, internal explainers or supplementary content. More supported formats means more knowledge within reach for your users.

NETEX CLOUD

Four new languages now available

Netex Cloud adds new languages to keep expanding its international reach: Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin. This update marks another step in our expansion across Eastern Europe, delivering a closer, more localised experience for users in these markets.

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.
