New features summary May 2025

The upcoming release of Adobe Learning Manager introduces a variety of new features and enhancements aimed at streamlining the platform and enhancing its capabilities.

Group Success Dashboard

The Group Success Dashboard (GSD) in Adobe Learning Manager allows administrators and managers to monitor learner progress in near real time (60-minute delay from enrollment, progress, or completion to reflecting on the dashboard) across departments or user groups. It supports proactive tracking of course completion, enrollment, and pending actions, making it easier to manage learning for teams. Group Success Dashboard simplifies progress tracking by replacing Excel-based transcripts with an easy-to-use interface, making it easier to review learner activity for scenarios like performance appraisals or compliance checks. It’s especially helpful for managers overseeing small teams (under 50 people), such as store managers or internal teams, allowing them to quickly monitor course completion and keep learning on track.

Enhancements to custom roles

Adobe Learning Manager now allows users to have multiple custom roles, addressing the need for custom administrators to manage various responsibilities. Each role can have up to 500 users, and each user can have up to 50 roles, providing flexibility in delegating tasks. Users can easily switch between their assigned roles through a new option in their profile, ensuring seamless management of different responsibilities. Administrators can assign or modify roles for users via a new link in the user page, allowing them to add or remove roles as needed. These enhancements simplify the management of multiple responsibilities, particularly for small teams with limited resources.

Learner bulk enrollment, attendance, and completion bulk-enrollment

Using Adobe Learning Manager’s bulk enrollment feature, administrators can efficiently enroll large groups of learners into courses, certifications, or learning programs by uploading a CSV file. This process saves time, ensures consistency, and supports organizational scalability. Additionally, administrators and instructors can update learner information, attendance, and completions in bulk through CSV uploads, minimizing manual work and ensuring data accuracy.

Track content using Content unique ID and Expiry Dates

The Content unique ID is a unique code given to each content item in Adobe Learning Manager. It helps administrators and authors find and manage content easily, especially when updating or moving it between systems. This Content unique ID is also useful for connecting content with other tools like HR or compliance systems. The same Content unique ID is used across all language versions, so everything stays consistent for learners.

The Expiry Date marks content that may be outdated or no longer needed. Even after the expiry date, the content stays available, but it reminds authors and administrators to check and update it if needed. Based on settings, expired content can be removed from new enrollments or archived. Like the Content unique ID, the Expiry Date works the same way for all language versions, helping keep content clean and up to date for everyone.

Additionally, the Content unique ID supports integration with content migration processes, allowing easy content transfer and management across different systems.

Admin AI Assistant (Beta)

In complex learning setups, Administrators may struggle to find content or complete tasks because of complicated menus and disconnected workflows. For instance, tasks like running reports or accessing specific information may require navigating multiple screens. The Admin AI Assistant (Beta) helps you find the right information to understand and complete tasks efficiently.

The Admin AI Assistant (Beta) in Adobe Learning Manager helps administrators quickly find answers to common questions, explore system features, and understand how to complete key task, just by asking in plain language. Whether you’re new to Adobe Learning Manager or looking for faster ways to troubleshoot, the Admin AI Assistant (Beta) simplifies your workflow by providing context-aware help directly in the platform.

It uses Adobe’s AI capabilities to enable natural language queries across learning content and system workflows. Administrators can ask questions like How to add users to Adobe Learning Manager or How to add Learning Paths. The Adobe Learning Manager Admin AI Assistant (Beta) is trained exclusively on publicly available, Adobe-owned documentation such as, resources hosted on Experience League. It does not learn from or access customer content, internal training material, or user-generated data.

New content languages

Adobe Learning Manager is known for supporting many languages for both content and interface, which makes it stand out from other learning platforms. With every milestone, Adobe Learning Manager expands its language offerings to better support a global and diverse user base. In this release, we’re introducing new content languages, further enhancing our commitment to delivering inclusive and accessible learning experiences for all.

Login access report in FTP, custom FTP, and Box log-in-access-report

The login access reports are now available for Box, FTP, and Custom FTP connectors, in addition to the existing Job APIs. This report provides detailed information on user login activities, including execution status, compression settings, and scheduling options. The report can be generated on-demand or scheduled, and the data is stored in the specified connector for easy access and analysis. This enhancement improves the ability to monitor and audit user login activities, ensuring better security and compliance tracking.

The report is now available in the custom FTP, FTP and Box along with existing reports, such as learner progress and course completion. This integration allows administrators to access all necessary reports from a single source, facilitating better data management and analysis.

The report helps in automation by enabling the export of login and access data to the FTP, where it can be joined with other reports to create comprehensive dashboards. This feature is particularly useful for organizations that rely on automated processes for data analysis and reporting.

User language preference update on login through SAML

Adobe Learning Manager is a multi-lingual platform where learners’ language preferences are taken care of through various ways, like interface language, content language, and courses, along with its modules and instances, are also multi-lingual.

For users of the Adobe Learning Manager native platform, this enhancement addresses the need for just-in-time user provisioning. When users are creating accounts and logging in for the first time, this feature ensures that their language preferences are accurately captured and applied.

This feature ensures that users’ language preferences are updated automatically when they log in through SAML. This helps in providing a personalized experience by displaying the interface in the user’s preferred language.
When users log in through SAML, their language preference (Interface and Content language) is checked and updated based on the information provided during the login process.

The feature integrates with the SAML login process to capture and update the user’s language preference seamlessly.

Filter deleted users before purging

Purging users means permanently deleting their data from the system. Sort users by the date they were deleted, making it easier to locate and manage specific records. Additionally, a new filter allows administrators to select users based on the year and month of deletion, narrowing down the list to a specific timeframe. These changes streamline the user cleanup process, enabling administrators to efficiently purge users by selecting multiple records within a defined period.

Adobe Connect connector enhancements

Support for seminars with large audiences

Adobe Learning Manager now also supports selecting Seminar rooms from Adobe Connect while setting up a VC session in Connect. Previously, administrator could only select the Meeting room type. This enhancement enables administrator with a valid seminar license to schedule and manage one-time or large-scale events (up to 1,500 attendees) within Adobe Learning Manager.

Migration changes

Success criteria for the content using migration

Migration process in Adobe Learning Manager for importing modules now supports the ability to add parameters for defining success criteria.
This is supported now by adding three new optional columns in the module_version.csv. Three new optional columns are: successCriteria, successQuizData, and successViewPercent.

These fields accept only specific values, and the connector will fail to process the file if invalid values are entered.
A quiz module can use three types of success criteria. Either it can mark pass if the learner launches the content, depending on a percentage value scored (defined by successViewPercent: below), or it can be based on the quiz module’s outcome (defined by successQuizData: below). This value is to be filled in as per the instructions below. The successCriteria parameter is used to determine this.

successCriteria: Accepts LAUNCH_CONTENT, VIEW_PERCENT, QUIZ, or VIEWPERCENT_OR_QUIZ.

This field is only valid if hasQuiz is true. Also, if only completionCriteria is passed, then successCriteria will be considered the same as completionCriteria for interactive content.

successQuizData: Accepts QUIZ_ATTEMPTED, QUIZ_PASSED, or QUIZPASSED_OR_LIMITREACHED.

successViewPercent: Accepts integer values from 0 to 100.

Add Content unique ID and Expiry Date for content using migration

Content unique ID and Expiry Date are now supported during migration. Two additional columns: expiryDate and uniqueContentId have been added to the module_version.csv file to enable this functionality. Refer this sample CSV and CSV specification file for more information.

View this article for more information about the migration process.

Enhancements to webhooks

Webhooks now support events for courses within Learning Paths (LPs) and certifications when enrollment, unenrollment, or completion occurs.
This includes supporting events for each course within the LP or certification, in addition to the parent LO event.

View this article for more information about Webhooks.

API changes

All the public APIs now support improved error handling by returning clear and specific error messages when invalid or incomplete data is passed in POST and PATCH requests. This enhancement applies particularly to relationship fields within the request payloads.

When a request includes incorrect data types or is missing required information in the relationship section, the API responds with descriptive messages that indicates the exact issue. This enables faster identification and resolution of errors during integration or testing.

The following sample responses illustrate various error scenarios:

{
  "status": "BAD_REQUEST",
  "title": "Field Type incorrect",
  "source": {
    "info": "incorrect relation type - Andrew"
  }
}

{
  "status": "BAD_REQUEST",
  "title": "Missing Param",
  "source": {
    "info": "skills"
  }
}
