There’s a new update for all Site Builder themes that:

• Adds new features (including the ability to add alt text to your site logo, extra form validation, and icons for links that open in new windows)
• Fixes a few bugs
• Makes some accessibility updates

To update your theme, head to your Theme Library, and click the Update Theme button (shown above :D ).

Reminder: Any code customizations will be reset with a theme update.

It's now even easier to manage your work in the Course Builder with a bunch of workflow improvements to the curriculum sidebar (particularly if you have lots of lessons and/or chapters in course).

• More detailed lesson information at a glance. Draft lessons are now more clearly indicated, plus you'll see new icons to show lesson settings (like prerequisite, downloadable, etc).
• New View Options. To make the Course Builder easier to access when you have many lessons, or are using a smaller screen, the "Add Chapter" button is now fixed to the bottom of the screen. Plus you also have the option to expand or collapse all, and switch to a compact view.

• Copy Lesson. The "Copy Lesson From" button is now easier to access within each chapter.
• Bulk Draft Updates. It's now easier to put all lessons within a course in and out of draft mode with the addition of "Apply to all lessons in the course" next to the "Set to draft" checkbox in each lesson.

Presentation lessons are now easier to manage with a ton of improvements based on your feedback. You can now:

• Upload & download audio per slide (no more having to re-upload the whole PDF document & re-record ALL your audio)
• Replace one slide (making quick corrections much easier)
• Require students to view all slides before being able to complete the lesson (on Pro plans and above)
• Upload PDFs with more than 20 pages

Plus, the lessons are easier to navigate for students, because:

• The Previous/Next buttons are now anchored so they’re always in view
• You can now navigate between slides using the keyboard arrows (and swipe)

Holiday mode is back! 🎉

You can make it snow on your course website by selecting 'Let it snow!' in your Thinkific Settings.

Once enabled, snow will appear on your landing pages, but not the course player or checkout. And it won't last forever - the snow will automatically stop falling January 2nd.

🎁 Happy holidays from the Thinkific team 🎅
