What's New in Coursebox
A roundup of the latest features and improvements in Coursebox. Each section covers what's new, how it works, and what you can do with it.
Course Structure: Choose Your Page Blocks (July 22, 2026)
In the Course Structure stage, you now choose which blocks go on each page before you generate the course.
What's new
- In the Course Structure, you can now set the Page content blocks on each page, on top of renaming, reordering, and adding or removing sections and pages
- Each page shows a few of its blocks as colourful highlight tags, with the full total beside them, such as "7 blocks"
- Open a page's blocks to add, remove, and reorder them, choosing from the full library: Text, Content Block, Case Study, Table, Quote, Info Tabs, Carousel, Number List, Grid Cards, List Cards, Promo Cards, Quiz, Assignment, YouTube video, Image, Flip Cards, Accordion, and Scenario
How it works:
Write a prompt or upload a document to create your course with AI
In the Course Structure, before you click Generate Course, find the page you want to change
Click the block count on that page, such as "5 blocks", or any of its colourful highlight tags, to open its Page content blocks
Under Add a block, click a block to add it; use the up and down arrows to reorder, and the x to remove a block
Click Save to keep your changes to that page
When you are happy with each page, click Generate Course to build your course
What you can do:
- Decide what each page looks like before the AI writes anything, so it comes out the way you want the first time
- Place quizzes, scenarios, and interactive blocks exactly where you want them from the start
Please note: Coursebox is currently migrating all accounts to a faster, upgraded platform. This feature is already available on newer accounts and will roll out to all remaining accounts by early August 2026.
AI Editor 2.2: Now Builds Interactive Blocks (July 17, 2026)
Describe the block you want and the AI Editor builds it for you, ready to use.
What's new:
- Ask the AI Editor for a specific block and it will build it: Flip Cards, Accordions, Info Tabs, Grid Cards, List Cards, Quotes
- The generated blocks will have content and settings already filled in
- The AI Editor also adds or replaces images and videos, and can adjust the tone, language, and AI Tutor behaviour
How it works:
Open the page you want to work on
Click the AI Editor icon (the sparkle in the top toolbar) to open the AI Editor chat panel
In the "Ask me" box, describe the block you want, for example "create an accordion for each compliance category" or "turn these notes into a set of flip cards"
The AI Editor builds the block on your page, with its content and settings in place
Keep chatting to fine-tune any block until it is right
What you can do:
- Go from a plain description straight to a finished, interactive block
- Build varied, engaging pages with the block type that fits each idea
- Add or update images, video, and the tone of a page in the same chat

Fonts & Text Size: Now In Any Text Block (July 17, 2026)
You can now set the font and size on text inside any text block.
What's new:

- Set the size of that text, right where you are editing
- Works in the editor across all text-based blocks
How it works:
Open a course page in the editor
Click into a text-based block, or add one
Highlight the text you want to change
Choose a font from the font family dropdown
Set the size with the font size control
Your changes are saved and visible to learners immediately
What you can do:
- Match your text to your brand fonts
- Build clear visual hierarchy on a page
- Make text bigger where readability matters most
To set fonts for a whole course, use the Course Theme (available on LMS and white-label plans). This control changes the font on the text you select within a block.
AI Quizzes & Assessments 2.2: Now Made From Your Course (July 16, 2026)
The AI quiz and assignment generators now read your course content before writing questions, so assessments are grounded in what your learners have studied.
What's new:
- Your AI quizzes and assignments are now built from your own course content, so every question reflects what your learners have studied
- The generator draws on the material on the page and its section when it writes questions
- Works for both quizzes and written assignments
How it works:
Open a course in the editor and navigate to the page or section where you want to add a quiz or assignment
Use the AI quiz or assignment generator as usual
The AI reads the content on that page (and surrounding pages in the section) before writing questions
Review the generated questions, which now reflect the specific material covered in your course
What you can do:
- Generate quiz questions that test what was taught, not just the topic in general
- Reduce the time spent rewriting AI-generated questions that missed the mark
Please note: Coursebox is currently migrating all accounts to a faster, upgraded platform. This feature is already available on newer accounts and will roll out to all remaining accounts by early August 2026.

Platform Languages: Now 17 More (June 25, 2026)

What's new:

- Learners and admins see the interface in their selected language without any setup by the course creator
How it works:

Admins can set a default language for their portal in the platform settings
What you can do:

3. Enter your prompt, specifying your audience and key topics for best results
4. The AI generates a course outline and content based closely on your document
5. Review the generated course and use the editor to refine any content
What you can do:

- Distribute fully portable course packages that work offline or in closed networks
Dynamic vs Self-hosted SCORM
Dynamic SCORM (Export to SCORM 1.2 or 2004) stays connected to Coursebox, so every feature keeps working. Choose it if you want the full experience.
Self-hosted SCORM runs completely on its own, with no Coursebox connection, which makes it ideal for offline use or closed networks. The following features rely on a live connection, so they work with Dynamic SCORM rather than in a self-hosted package:
- Listen mode (text-to-speech)
- Short answer questions in quizzes
- Assignments submissions
- Discussions
- AI tutor
- Uploaded SCORM content
Admin User Management (June 19, 2026)
Super Admins can now fix a user's email and suspend accounts straight from the Users section, with no need to contact support.

- Suspend a user to restrict their access, without deleting the account
- Both sit with the Super Admin
How it works:
As a Super Admin, open the Users section from the left-hand menu

Suspended users can be reactivated later, without losing their course progress or data
What you can do:
- Correct a wrong email yourself, so learners keep their progress and access
- Restrict access for leavers or expired contracts, without deleting their records
- Handle everyday user changes from the Users section, instead of raising a support ticket
Prompt Memory (June 16, 2026)
Coursebox AI retains your instructions and preferences throughout a session so you don't need to repeat yourself as you build and refine your course.
What's new:
- The AI remembers context from earlier in your session, including tone, audience, and course details
- Instructions carry forward automatically to all content generated after they're given
- You can update or override remembered settings at any point by providing a new instruction
How it works:
1. Start a course creation session in Coursebox AI
2. Provide any preferences or instructions early on — such as audience level, tone, or course topic
3. Continue building your course as normal; the AI applies your earlier instructions to new content automatically
4. To change a setting, simply type a new instruction in your prompt — the AI will use the updated context going forward
What you can do:
- Set your course tone or audience once and have it applied throughout the entire session
- Refine content without re-explaining your course context each time
- Override any previous instruction mid-session by providing an updated prompt
