Enhanced Leaderboards
Gamifying the learning experience just became way more intuitive and streamlined.

Now, learners can save and compile a playlist of their most useful learning content on the Go.Learn mobile app or in your company’s Branded Mobile Learning App, so there’s no need to wait until they’re sitting in front of their laptops to curate and share their favorite content. Note that this feature enhancement will be live in your Go.Learn apps by the end of this week.

Product Updates History
Starting from this week, for those using Docebo’s mobile app and the Discover, Coach & Share module, you can create and manage playlists directly from the Go.Learn app. You can also add learning assets and courses to already existing playlists using the mobile app. Furthermore, a handful of minor issues have been addressed to give you a better, smoother learning experience.
Today, the Docebo Content library renews its user interface for a better navigation experience among more than 60000 courses, all available in preview mode. The new experience also includes extended filtering options both in the library, for Superadmins, and in the Docebo Content catalog, for learners. Find out more!
For those using the Gamification app to make users’ training programs more interactive and engaging, the Leaderboards management area has been revamped with a refreshed interface to make the user experience of Superadmins smoother and more intuitive. You can now benefit from a number of new options allowing you to better configure and customize your leaderboards, among them the possibility to segment the leaderboard’s availability by branch. Learn more.
For those using the Discover, Coach & Share module, please note that starting today, users will find in the New Invitations and Subscriptions channel also the content that was shared with them via the new Share Content functionality, in addition to the courses or learning plans in which they are enrolled. Instead, the content that users have been invited to watch will not appear in the New Invitations and Subscriptions channel anymore. Learn more.
Starting from today, when adding a question to a survey training material, you as the Superadmin have the possibility to mark it as mandatory, meaning that the learner needs to answer the question in order to submit and complete the survey. Learn more.
As communicated on January 26, 2021, for those using the PUT /learn/v1/enrollments API, in order to improve the platform security, starting today, the user_id and the course_id parameters will be removed from the API query string. Both parameters will be kept in the query body.
As communicated on February 9, 2021, for those using the GET manage/v1/user API, in order to improve the platform performance, starting today, this endpoint will no longer retrieve the list of the currently logged users by default. The count of the currently logged users is used by the My KPIs widget when the Users recently active in courses option is selected. If you are using the widget with this option, you can keep the current behavior by activating the new get_currently_logged_users_count parameter.
For those using the POST /course/v1/courses/{id}/duplicate API, please note that starting today, this endpoint will also manage the duplication of ILT courses.
For those using the PUT /learn/v1/courses/ API, please note that starting on March 23, 2021, if the channel attribute does not contain a valid value, the endpoint will return a 400 error. If you do not want to assign the course to any channel, leave the attribute blank.
For those using the GET /share/v1/user/{id_user}/assets API, please note that in order to improve the platform security, starting on March 23rd, 2021, the endpoint will change to GET /share/v1/user/{uuid_user}/assets. The uuid_user parameter is a unique identifier randomly generated that already exists for every user on the platform. Check out our API documentation for further details.
For those using the new custom reports and the new management of classroom courses and webinars (ILT courses), given that instructors are no longer counted as enrolled users in ILT courses, starting from today, when you as a Superadmin create or manage a report including ILT courses, you can use the Show only users with learner as user course level option to either include or exclude instructors in the custom report.
For those integrating with GoToMeeting V2, please note that starting today, you will be able to select audio options different from your PC audio when attending your web training.
For those using the Power Users app, please note that starting on March 2, 2021you will be able to manage multiple Power Users profiles via CSV files by listing them in the Profile Name CSV data field separated by the | character (pipe, or, vertical bar). If you are using | as the field separator of your CSV files and you are planning to use CSV files for the Power User multi-profile management, please choose a different separator.
Please note that starting on March 9th, 2021, in the User Statistics table in the Reports tab on the Course Management page, the Session Time column will be renamed to Training Material Time and will still show the total time spent by the learner on the training materials composing the course. A new column, showing the total time spent by the learner on the attended session events composing the course (for ILT – Instructor-Led Training course type), will be added and called Session Time. Moreover, when selecting a username in the table to see his/her details, you will see a counter showing the sum of the Session Time and Training Material Time columns.
The changes to these two columns will be reflected also in the following new custom reports: Users – Courses, Courses – Users, Groups/Branches – Courses. Starting on March 9th 2021— among the Statistics Fields in the View Options tab’s configuration and then in your custom report — you will find the Training Material Time field instead of Time in Session, and the new Session Time field.
For those using the GET/learn/v1/enrollments API, please note that starting on March 30, 2021, the in progress status for courses, sessions and learning plans’ enrollments will be reported as in_progress instead of in-progress. This change will align the API response with the API Response Schema.
Docebo’s journey towards accessibility began in July 2020 and it can be considered as a work in progress, as new areas of the learner experience meet the platform accessibility standards. As of today, the compliance on accessibility has reached in new areas of your desktop platform including built-in pages and page widgets. Check out what’s new in our Knowledge Base and in our updated Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT).
For those manually managing automatic groups, we have reviewed the user assignment method switching process, in order to provide better guidance. Find out more.
For those using Webhooks, starting today, the payload of the following attributes has been enhanced as follows:
- the learningplan.course.added event includes the course_name attribute.
- the user.created, user.deactivated and the user.updated events offer the possibility to add extra data to their payload.
Starting from today, when you delete the page selected as the platform landing page in the menu in use in your platform, after the login, users will receive a 403 error and will not be able to navigate the platform.
As communicated on January 20, 2021, for those using the Power Users app, starting from today, in order to improve the platform security, when activating the Use Category Tree option in the platform Advanced Settings to display course category tree in catalogs and in the Catalogs widget, the category visibility for Power Users will be limited to the categories associated to the courses belonging to the catalogs they have visibility on, as learners.
In this update, a handful of minor issues have been addressed to give you a better, smoother learning experience on mobile.
As communicated on January 5, 2021, starting on today, for those using the GET/learn/v1/coursedesc/getCourseDescription API to retrieve the course description, the API:
- will return a 403 error if the public catalog is disabled in your platform (platform advanced setting > Course Catalog tab > Show the catalog to non-authenticated users option is disabled)
- will return error 200 if the public catalog is enabled in your platform , (platform advanced setting > Course Catalog tab > Show the catalog to non-authenticated users option is enabled) only for the courses having the published status
As communicated on January 5, for those using LTI training material in courses, starting from today, in order to better comply with the IMS Global standard, the context_id and context_title attributes no longer provide the LTI training material values, but the course values instead.
As communicated on January 5, 2021, starting from today, for those using the PUT /learn/v1/enrollments API, the extra array [] is removed from the “updated” part of the API response, so that the response is fully aligned with the response schema shown in the Response Sample section of the API browser corresponding page. Check out our API documentation for further details.
For those using the GET manage/v1/user API, in order to improve the platform performance, starting on February 23, 2021, this endpoint will no longer retrieve the list of the currently logged users by default. The count of the currently logged users is used by the My KPIs widget when the Users recently active in courses option is selected. If you are using the widget with this option, you can keep the current behavior by activating the new get_currently_logged_users_count parameter.
For those using the Users – Learning Objects custom report, please note that starting on February 23rd, 2021 a new field — named Training Material Last Completion Date — will be added among the Training Material Fields, in the View Options tab in the New Reports menu. By selecting the new field, you will show in your report the last time the learner completed the training material.
Additionally, starting on the same date, in the Enrollment Fields section below in the same tab (View Options), the Completion Date field will show in your report the course completion date and no longer the training material completion date.
These two changes will be applied also in the old Reports menu.
For those using automatic groups, please note that starting on March 9, 2021, as part of the continuous enhancement of the group management functionality, you will be able to automatically include users into groups on the basis of the branch of belonging and on the basis of their enrollment in courses.
As a consequence of this enhancement, the following APIs will no longer delete (and will return a 400 error) the courses and the branches involved in the conditions used to manage the auto-population of groups:
- DELETE /course/v1/courses/batch
- DELETE /learn/v1/courses/\{id}
- DELETE /manage/v1/orgchart/{id}
- DELETE /manage/v1/orgchart/batch
As of today, the management of classroom courses and webinars offers a fresh and revamped interface aimed at making the creation and management of these types of courses more flexible and intuitive. Learn more about what’s new.
For those using the Observation Checklists functionality to perform task monitoring and check users compliance with requirements, starting from today checklists are a course training material too! As a Superadmin, you can import the checklists you created on the Observation Checklists management page as training material for the course, and then your learners, when attending the course, will find the checklists in the list of training material to complete. Learn more.
Starting from today, for those who have activated Docebo Discover, Coach & Share in their platforms, users can take advantage of a completely revamped experience and interface when sharing informal learning content (assets) with their peers and then editing the assets they shared.

- GET/share/v1/admin/assets
