For those who have activated Docebo Discover, Coach & Share in their platforms, please note that starting on December 22nd, with the release of the revamped Share Content functionality, there will be changes in the behavior of the following three APIs:

• GET/share/v1/admin/assets: when the API is called and the asset is not assigned to any channels, the parameter “channels_assignment_count” will return value “0” (instead of the parameter not being returned).

• GET/share/v1/assets/{id_asset}/invitations/users: the parameter “search” will be mandatory for security requirements.

• POST/share/v1/video: if the API is called and the “thumbnail_url” parameter (optional) is passed, the thumbnail will be set as default for the asset (instead of the parameter “thumbnail_url” being ignored).
