Release notes

26th May 2026

v1.8.3 launches Embeddables — a new way to drop Coassemble learning experiences, authoring tools and analytics dashboards directly into your own apps and platforms using signed-URL iframes, backed by workspace-level API keys and a new developer documentation site. Alongside Embeddables, image generation moves out of beta on a new model with a manual trigger, AI narration adds two new voice locales, and a wave of authoring, video and translation improvements ship. The release also wraps in the hotfixes that have gone to production since v1.8.2.

New Features

Embeddables

Coassemble Embeddables go live in v1.8.3 as a fully supported, customer-facing capability. Customers can drop Coassemble learning experiences, authoring tools and analytics dashboards directly into their own apps and platforms using signed-URL iframes. A new developer documentation site walks through every embeddable component end to end, with live code examples. Availability of individual embeddables varies by plan — see the developer docs for the current plan matrix.

A standout in this release: Collections are now first-class in Headless for the first time. Until now, Headless only supported courses. v1.8.3 introduces a full Collection REST API (GET /collections, GET /collections/{id}, POST /collection, DELETE /collection/{id}, POST /collection/{id}/restore) and a full set of Collection embeddables — Player, Builder, List, Card and Analytics — so integrations can programmatically create, manage and embed collections of courses end to end.

  • Course Player and Collection Player — embed interactive courses and collections for learners, with per-user signed URLs

  • Course Card and Collection Card — embed a single course or collection as a clickable preview card

  • Course List and Collection List — embed a browsable list of courses or collections as card grids

  • Course, Collection and User Analytics — embed read-only dashboards showing engagement, completion and user-level activity

  • Course Builder and Collection Builder — embed Coassemble's authoring and collection-management tools directly inside your product

  • course.generated postMessage event — the embedded Course Builder now posts a course.generated event to the parent window when AI course generation completes, with the course's id, title and screenCount, so host apps can react the moment a course is ready

  • Workspace-scoped API keys — a new COASSEMBLE:: key format replaces the old user-level keys, so integrations no longer break when the owning user rotates a key or leaves the workspace. Existing COASSEMBLE-V1-SHA256 keys continue to work

  • Tiered API actions — API keys now carry capability tiers, so each plan only unlocks the embeddables and endpoints included in its tier

  • New developer documentation site — full reference for embeddables, the REST API (Courses, Collections, Themes, Identities, Tracking, Translations, Usage, Generate), webhooks, events and errors

Image generation: now manual, powered by Gemini Flash 2.5

AI image generation is moving out of beta with an upgraded model — Gemini Flash 2.5, replacing Imagen (which Google is sunsetting). Image generation is now triggered on demand instead of running automatically, giving authors full control over when images are created and tokens are used.

  • Manual generation — images are no longer auto-generated when creating courses from a prompt, transforming documents, or generating screens

  • Monthly token allowance — a monthly image generation allowance is now in effect on some plans, with a clear usage indicator in the AI image modal. Existing headless customers are not affected

New narration voices

  • Added French (Canada) and Spanish (Mexico) voices to AI narration, expanding language coverage for global teams

More reliable narration

A round of improvements to make narration generation faster to recover from transient issues and clearer when something goes wrong.

  • Categorised publish errors — the publish modal now groups narration errors with targeted retry and edit actions, so authors know exactly what to do next

  • Smarter retries — narration generation now retries on transient Google TTS timeouts and 503s, with a long-text fallback for big scripts

  • Automatic re-generation triggers — adding, removing or altering questions now correctly flags narrations for regeneration

  • Cleaner script handling — auto narration is preserved when a custom script is absent, and the narration modal's language is now read-only as intended

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where video playback would fail to recover when Mux returned a 404 or had no static rendition available — playback now falls back gracefully and retries on 429 responses

  • Resolved YouTube embeds failing to initialise with the enablejsapi flag, and YouTube fullscreen breaking inside nested SCORM iframes

  • Fixed Vimeo oEmbed producing a duplicate url parameter on the XHR request

  • Resolved a video status polling issue that was being incorrectly caught by the global rate limit

  • Fixed course player crashes where the screens array could be missing or malformed — added guards across navigation, completion and oEmbed restoration

  • Resolved a course revert issue where the course theme wasn't returned, so revert sometimes left themes out of sync

  • Fixed an issue where quiz generation would occasionally not return any questions when creating a new screen

  • Fixed finish screen narration properties not persisting, and paragraph breaks being stripped from narration text

  • Resolved standalone narration not playing when narration was not enforced or there was no start button

  • Fixed a folder restoration bug where restoring a course would clear its folderId instead of returning it to its original folder

  • Resolved an issue where adding to a folder before it had loaded would silently fail

  • Fixed paste into the email-multi share field being broken after a recent text input change

  • Resolved an issue where reordering questions unnecessarily bumped the course's updated timestamp

Coassemble 1.8.2

31 March 2026

New Features

Improved Folder Functionality

We've made it easier to discover and use folders on your dashboard, plus added new ways to organise your courses.

  • A new Folder button in the dashboard header makes it clearer how to create folders

  • Works alongside existing sign-in options like Google and email

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where quiz generation could fail silently — errors are now handled gracefully

  • Fixed a bug where course narration wouldn't play correctly when the start button was hidden

  • Fixed learner progress tracking failing in certain edge cases

  • Resolved an issue where reverting a course didn't properly restore the course theme

  • Fixed quiz screen creation so questions are always returned correctly when adding new screens

  • Improved video upload reliability, including better retry handling when the video service is busy

Coassemble 1.8.1

17 March 2026

Major Features

Brand Voice

Introducing Brand Voice, a new way to ensure AI-generated content matches your organisation's tone and style.

You can now:

  • Choose an image generation style (Photo, Cinematic, Drawing, Vector, Painting) and exclude unwanted imagery

Available on Enterprise plans.

Video Transcoding Infrastructure

We've replaced Mux with a new region-locked video transcoding pipeline built on AWS MediaConvert. While Mux supported region-locking for US and EU, it did not support the UK.

  • All video uploads, transcoding, and delivery now stay entirely within their deployment region (US, EU, or UK)

  • UK enterprise customers can now meet the same data residency requirements previously only available in US and EU

  • Videos are transcoded into multiple quality levels with adaptive bitrate streaming

Improvements

  • Collection admins can now customise finish screen navigation when courses are part of a collection, configuring different button labels and destinations for mid-collection vs. final courses.

  • On screens with unsynced narrations, a single standalone voiceover button now appears instead of individual item-level narrations.

  • When advancing through quiz questions, focus now automatically moves to the new question content, improving the experience for keyboard and screen reader users.

  • Internal infrastructure for Sevalla-hosted environments (EU and UK) is now codified with Terraform.

  • Shared template links now work for people who don't yet have a Coassemble account.

Bug Fixes

  • Pop quiz results now correctly show a failing message when only a few answers are provided, instead of incorrectly reporting a pass.

  • Deleted quiz questions are no longer included in tracking API responses.

  • Collection themes are now correctly applied when viewing a collection via a direct link in the app.

  • Fixed checkbox selection not responding to clicks.

  • Exporting a filtered Activity Report now exports only the filtered data, not the entire dataset.
