Now available on Professional and Enterprise plans, External Management allows you to delegate student management without granting external users access to your Skilljar dashboard.

Now, Global Admins can give any student the ability to be a “Student Manager.” Directly from your branded Academy, Student Managers can:

✅ Add new students to your Academy and their managed group

✅ Enroll students in specified content

✅ Track what content individual students are enrolled in, completion status, and due dates

This means less administrative work for you, while keeping full control over what others can do. Check out the interactive demo to see External Management in action!

We’re sending Custom Enrollment Reports straight to your stakeholders’ inboxes.

• Tailored Insights: Easily show your program’s impact with automatic delivery of the metrics that matter most.
• Set & Forget: Schedule reports once and let Skilljar handle the rest–no more manual downloads.
• Keep Data Secure: Share student enrollment analytics without needing to grant additional dashboard access.

Here's what's new at Skilljar from the month of October:

✍️ Course Drafts: Easily make updates to your courses and save changes as a draft before publishing—offering greater flexibility over your content without affecting what learners see.
