It’s time for Release 108!

On Tuesday 13 May, it’s finally here: Release 108. This release is a little different than usual. In this article, we’ll walk you through all the changes to the aNewSpring platform.

Let’s dive into the details!

The new learner experience

We’re proud to present part 2 of the new learner experience: the updated results overview and account settings.

Important: These pages are not enabled by default. You decide when they go live for your learners.

Test and activate the pages yourself

Super) Tenants can select users who can preview and test the pages, before deciding to put them live.

Note: Do you have multiple tenants? Consult with each other and make a joint decision.

Activate the new experience

Ready to go live right away? You can enable the new experience yourself once the release becomes available.

Testing a new learner experience

Prefer to test internally or inform learners first? You can activate the new learner experience for a limited group of (test) users. This allows you to make screenshots in your own branding and prepare learners for the upcoming changes.

(Super) Tenants can select users who can preview and test the pages before they decide to put them live.

Test your (new) Look & Feel

This functionality will be available a few weeks after release 108.

When you are creating a new Look & Feel, then you want to preview the changes before going live. Until now, testing also meant publishing those changes for all learners.

No longer! We’re introducing a test feature: you can now assign a specific Look & Feel to a (test) user. Only they will see the new styling, no impact on the rest of your learning environment.

This is perfect for testing colour schemes, fonts or the styling of the widgets, whether you're also testing the new learner pages, or not.

A representative results overview

A new page for learners to celebrate their results! It includes all familiar features such as certificates, links to completed activities, and MemoTrainer results, now presented in a user-friendly, accessible and responsive design.

Do you use custom grading colours in your environment or courses? These will appear in a lighter shade on the new results page, ensuring a balanced and visually pleasing experience.

This lighter colour styling will gradually be applied across all redesigned pages, eventually replacing the current colours.

Cleaner account settings pages

What was previously labelled as 'Account Settings' is now found under 'My Account', consolidated into three clearly structured tabs instead of four.

While reviewing notification settings, we noticed some alerts weren’t properly categorised. These previously “floating” notifications have now been assigned to the correct categories.

To ensure users don’t miss important updates, this release activates the following three categories by default (if they were previously disabled):

Progress
Newly Available Activities
Agenda & Events

If these were turned off before, users may now receive more emails than usual. Don't worry—each email includes a link to easily adjust notification preferences.

Nothing changes for users who had already opted out of notifications—they will continue to receive none.

What was previously labelled as 'Account Settings' is now found under 'My Account'.

A refreshed footer

A consistent experience starts with a solid foundation. That’s why all redesigned pages now include a refreshed footer. As a bonus, you can customise the footer text colour via Look & Feel, useful if you need better contrast or improved readability.

Other platform updates

These functionalities have been available since January 29, 2025.

Export the license overview

Not everyone enjoys data analysis, but it can offer powerful insights. The new export option in the license overview helps you track how many licenses are expected to be used in the coming period.

You can export all data or select a specific timeframe, then analyse the results using your preferred tool.

New email notification category for instructors

While cleaning up the email notifications, we added a new category for instructors: Assessments. This is especially useful for instructors who only want to receive notifications about activities that need to be assessed.

Hide past events

Finding an event in a long list can be time-consuming. That's why you can now filter by event status in two additional places:

While linking events to an activity in courses as an administrator.
As an instructor on the 'Event' tab.

This helps keep the overview clean and up to date.

Bancontact added as payment method

This functionality has been available since February 18, 2025.

iDeal is the go-to payment method in the Netherlands. To better serve your Belgian learners and customers Bancontact has now been added as a payment method for Stripe.

Balance notifications will be enabled by default

This functionality will be available a few weeks after release 108.

We don’t want you to run out of licenses unexpectedly, which is why the license balance notification will be enabled by default. If your license count drops below a set threshold, all tenants will receive an email alert.

The default threshold is set to 10% of your last purchase, but you can adjust it, change the recipients of the email, or disable the alert entirely.
