August 2025

We have some exciting new releases and a sneak peek at what's coming up in the next couple of weeks in this month's product update.

Here's a look at this month's product update:

Transform how you assess knowledge and skills with our powerful new testing capabilities. You can now create comprehensive assessments using multiple question types, including long and short text responses, matching exercises, file uploads, and fill-in-the-blank questions.

Whether you're building certification programs, skills assessments, or compliance testing, these flexible question formats let you evaluate understanding in the way that works best for your content. From practical file submissions to detailed written responses, you can now assess your team's knowledge as thoroughly as you need to.

Take complete control of your test submissions with our new centralized Submissions Manager. Beyond simple pass/fail results, you now get a granular breakdown of every test submission, letting you see exactly how team members performed on each question type. Grade answers directly within the manager and see which questions were automatically scored versus those requiring your review.

This detailed visibility transforms assessment from basic scoring into meaningful insights about individual performance. You can identify where team members excelled or struggled, giving you the information you need to follow up with additional support or training where it's most needed.

We believe the work you put into building, sharing, and using knowledge deserves recognition. Our new Achievements system celebrates the meaningful ways you contribute to your team's success - whether you're creating helpful documentation, consistently sharing knowledge with colleagues, or helping others find the right information.

As you naturally use Waybook in your daily work, you'll earn badges that reflect your contributions. These aren't about hitting arbitrary targets - they're about recognizing the real value you bring when you help a colleague find information, create clear documentation, or explore new ways to share knowledge.

Your achievements tell the story of how you contribute to your team's knowledge sharing success, while helping managers identify knowledge champions who might be great mentors for others.

Managing deadlines across multiple documents is now incredibly efficient with bulk update capabilities in Document Manager. Select multiple documents and update their deadlines simultaneously, transforming what used to be a time-consuming task into a quick, streamlined process.

This improvement gives you better control over your content lifecycle while saving valuable time when coordinating training schedules, compliance deadlines, or organizational updates across your documentation.

Stay on top of team feedback with improved comment visibility throughout Document Manager. You can now see comment totals at a glance, view last comment dates, and manage the comments you've made with enhanced control and organization.

This enhanced visibility helps you maintain better engagement with your team's feedback, ensuring important discussions don't get overlooked and making it easier to follow up on valuable input from your colleagues.
