If you've spent time on the Community this week you might notice we look a little different! We hope you like our new look, which is based on the new Inspire theme available in Totara 19. Here are a few changes you might notice:
A new collapsible side-menu with updated menu structure to make it easier to find what you’re looking for
New Explore catalogue using catalogue blocks to improve content findability
Goals are now available for you to try - why not set yourself some goals linked to your Academy training?
We've also made it easier to find out what's on the roadmap for future releases and to have your say by suggesting and voting on new features with our new roadmap dashboard
We'd love to hear your thoughts on these changes.
And if you’d like to get ready for using the Inspire theme on your own Totara 19 site, why not take a look at our updated course on Dashboards and basic theming v19?
