June 2026 Releases
Price Options
A highly anticipated feature giving administrators the power to establish multiple pricing tiers for a single course. Learners can now choose the price point that fits their situation, with exciting plans on the horizon to automate these assignments based on learner attributes and membership affiliations.
Popular ways our clients are putting this to work:
- Member vs. Non-Member Pricing — reward your organization's members with an exclusive discounted rate, while maintaining standard pricing for everyone else
- Core Content vs. Content + Certification — offer the same foundational course to all learners while giving those who want more the option to add a certification, assessment, or other premium add-on

Memberships (formerly Subscriptions)
Memberships — a ground-up rebuild and rebrand of Subscriptions that goes far beyond a simple name change.
What admins can now do:
- Build and manage memberships from the ground up — set your pricing, choose how memberships expire (whether that's a rolling duration or a fixed end date), and add a description that speaks to your audience
- Curate the course experience by adding specific courses directly to each membership
What learners can now expect:
- Full visibility into membership-gated courses right from the catalog — no more hitting a wall or discovering content only after purchasing
- A clearer, more transparent picture of exactly what a membership costs and what courses it unlocks

Quantity Registration
Now Available!
Quantity Registration — ever wished your learners could gift a course seat to a colleague, spouse, or teammate and cover the cost themselves? That capability is coming soon.
The Enroll a Friend flow empowers learners to:
- Purchase and secure a seat in a course section on someone else's behalf — no extra steps, no back-and-forth
- Keep a running history of every friend or colleague they've enrolled and paid for, all in one place
On the receiving end, the friend gets an instant notification letting them know they've been enrolled. New to the platform? No problem — they'll be prompted to create an account and hit the ground running, including filling out all the mandatory profile fields in your custom registration form.

New Default Filters
Based on your feedback, admin users will now see only Active Courses, Sections, and Learners by default. Previously, both active and archived items were shown automatically. While filters were available, they reset on each visit—requiring admins to repeatedly reapply them. Since archived items are used less frequently, this created unnecessary clutter and slowed down everyday tasks.
Bulk Certificate Downloads for Completed Enrollments
Admins can now download certificates in bulk from Enrollments. Previously, certificates had to be accessed individually. This update streamlines the process by allowing multiple certificates to be downloaded at once—saving time and reducing repetitive steps. Thank you to our clients for submitting this feedback!
To download certificates in bulk, admins will need the ability to access bulk actions under the enrollments tab. Once in bulk enrollments, filter the data to match the enrollments you need for your certificates. From there you can select multiple enrollments and download all available certificates as a single PDF. Only completed enrollments with configured certificates will be included and incomplete or enrollments with no certificates will be skipped. A summary message will show how many certificates were downloaded, unavailable, or failed. Keep in mind:
- If no selected enrollments are eligible, no file will be generated
- A maximum selection limit applies to ensure performance

New Delivery Option: Send Reports via HTTP
We’ve added a new way to deliver your outbound reports! In addition to Email and SFTP, you can now send reports directly to an external system using an HTTP endpoint. This enables you to now deliver reports in different ways to other software platforms, internal systems, and custom applications that accept web requests.
When selecting the new HTTP delivery type, you’ll configure:
- Endpoint URL – The secure web address where the report should be sent.
- Maximum File Size (MB) – Set a size limit for the delivery (default is 10MB, maximum is 100MB).
This helps ensure your receiving system can handle the file size appropriately.
Based on the timeframe that is selected, we will send your report to a secure web address (URL) you provide, package the file securely within the request, and deliver it directly to your receiving system.

New Account Registration Process
Genius is currently testing a new account registration enhancing upon your current tools. This new experience includes custom fields, display logic, and affiliation mapping capabilities. This allows for you to collect even more data, ensure all the correct questions are required, and place individuals in the correct affiliation based upon a response to a question, instead of displaying the affiliation selector. We are currently looking for Beta users, so please reach out to your Client Success Manager or Implementation Manager if you are interested.
Canvas Integration Updates
Genius now complies with the requirements of an update to the Canvas API that requires additional headers. This is live in all client sandboxes and production environments.
Improved Login Experience for Clients Using SSO only
Genius allows for clients to configure their site to only use your SSO instead of displaying the Public Welcome page. If you require all learners, admins, and instructors to sign in via SAML or Azure you can use two new parameters: DEFAULT_PAGE and CUSTOM_LEARNER_LOGIN_URL. By configuring both of these you can send learners through a journey that only displays your SSO and logout pages through the user journey. Please note your Public Welcome page will still be visible to individuals that have the link or may have saved this in their browser or email.
New Read/Write APIs for Financial Data
Genius has added additional API endpoints to allow you to create, update, and get Financial Data for your learners, affiliations, and guardians. We are currently looking for clients to help test the above information. If you are interested please reach out!
