Welcome to our Q3 2024 release notes! This quarter, we’re introducing transformative features to enhance autonomy, discovery, and technical functionality. From empowering learning program managers with Channels, to improving integration with Glean, and refining GraphQL capabilities, our updates are designed to make knowledge sharing seamless and personalized. Plus, get a sneak peek at what’s coming next to elevate your learning journey!

What's New 🚀

Channels: Empower Learning Teams with Autonomy 📺:

With Channels, learning program managers can now manage their programs their way while giving learners a tailored, focused experience.

For Learning Program Managers:

  • Custom Branding: Create channels with unique logos, colors, and descriptions for each program.

  • Ownership and Control: Manage content, events, and access independently for each channel.

  • Tailored Policies: Set rules for attendance, notifications, and access levels—public, hidden, or restricted.

For Learners:

  • Personalized Learning: Subscribe to channels that align with your goals, such as Engineering, Leadership Development, or Sales.

  • Streamlined Discovery: Explore relevant content across all teams in one platform, reducing clutter and focusing on growth.

  • Custom Notifications: Stay informed about the channels and events that matter most to you.

Glean Integration: Surface Learning Where You Need It Most 🔍

Our integration with Glean federated search makes it easier than ever to find PlusPlus content and events across your organization.

What’s Included:

  • Search for Tracks, Events, Courses, Videos, Articles, and Codelabs.

  • Personalized search results tailored to user roles and department info.

  • Support for access-restricted items ensures secure, relevant content.

Plus, build your own Glean connector using the Push API for seamless bulk indexing of learning data.

GraphQL API Enhancements 💻

We’ve expanded our GraphQL API with new features and improved documentation to make it easier for developers to interact with and utilize PlusPlus data.

What’s New:

  • Enhanced Enrollment Query: Search for enrollments for multiple users with the new user_emails parameter.

  • New Glean Queries: Access glean_indexing and glean_datasource_config queries to support custom Glean connectors.

  • Improved Documentation: Added descriptions to queries and nodes for a more informative experience in the GraphQLi query builder.

  • Location-Based Search: Use the locations parameter to find events in specific locations.

These improvements streamline integration and make data access more powerful than ever.


Coming Soon 🔜

Badges: Celebrate Achievements 🏆

We’re introducing Badges to reward and inspire your teams.

What to Expect:

  • Customizable Badges: Define badges with unique names, descriptions, and images.

  • Automated Rules: Issue and revoke badges seamlessly based on milestones or criteria.

  • Visible Recognition: Showcase badges on profiles and avatars to motivate your team and highlight top accomplishments.

Badging brings a gamified layer to your learning experience, making achievements more engaging and visible.


Tracks Improvements
