April showers bring new feature flowers!
Spring is in full swing with Centercode’s garden of new features and improvements! Last month in our GoEarly program, we planted the seeds for our new embedding system for content within resources, and now those features are ready to bloom. And that’s not all! This month’s GoEarly release includes the results of our second DevJam, bringing you a bouquet of nearly one hundred small improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life features!

✨ New Features ✨
Help your resources bloom with embeds!
This month’s main feature is the full release of our brand-new content embedding system, adding even more functionality to our recently updated resource creation system! These new embedding features bring you a more feature-rich, streamlined, and intuitive new way to embed a wide range of custom and preset embed options. It's never been easier to add external video, social media, and scheduling tools (with many more to come!) into your Centercode resources (content, releases, and activities).
When creating a resource, you’ll now find the “External embed” option listed in the “Include” portion of the resource. Selecting that will present you with a drop-down menu that allows you to select the type of embed you’d like to include. We've expanded the capabilities of Centercode’s embedding system to include inline JavaScript and link assets via the “Custom embedded script” option, and you'll also get a number of pre-built embed selections.
Selecting any of the pre-built embed types will present you with a helpful infobox (and accompanying linked help article), telling you how to acquire the embed code from the external source (YouTube, Loom, Figma, etc) and which field to embed the code in.
If you don't see the option you are looking for on the list, we also have a custom embedded script option that now includes the ability to include inline JavaScript and linked file assets. This custom embedding option will cover the vast majority (if not all) of proper embeds - we haven’t met one we couldn’t support!
These powerful new embed tools give you a new degree of freedom in presenting vital testing material, visual aids, and scheduling tools to your testers—and we can’t wait to see what you do with them! For more detailed information on these tools and how to use them, see our helpful knowledge base article here!

DevJam 2: Electric Boogaloo
Coming soon to a GoEarly implementation near you are the results of Centercode’s second DevJam - back by popular demand! We gathered another huge batch of small but impactful bugs and improvements that spanned all aspects of the platform and set our dev team loose on them. The result? Nearly a hundred bug fixes, UI tweaks, and string clarifications! Check out that DevJam hand-off board!

🐞 Bug Fixes 🐞
Macros & Automation
- An order of operations adjustment was made to macros that email users while also removing them (removal is now last, with some protections to prevent access during execution time).
Performance
- Removed a data point calculation from User Summary pages that was not used which should improve performance of the User Summary page
- Additional work on jQuery refactoring/depreciation was performed.
