Learn Amp's new navigation, featuring a large search box in the top navigation, and multiple icons in the side navigation.

(blue star) Timeline:

We know that updating our UI can be a big change in your organisation. That’s why we are rolling it out slowly so that you have time to try it out before your end users, and prepare any training that you wish to roll out.

(blue star) About the beta

We have developed the navigation in close collaboration with customers so we are confident that there won’t be any major changes from this point onward. We hope that the majority will enable the Navigation during this period as we want to get input from as many customers as possible.

Changes mid-beta

  • Feedback: If there are any ideas, raised by a majority of customers, that will be beneficial, we will look to implement these before a full launch; these changes would be immediately visible if you have the beta feature enabled.

  • Tab structure: We are currently completing some work on the tab structure to further enhance the navigation experience throughout Learn Amp. If you enable the beta feature, you will see these changes in your account as soon as they are available. You can see an example of the change, using 1-to-1s as an example, below. The 'My' tabs will only appear when a user is thinking about their own learning and development ie. when they access the area via My Learning/My Development.

📚 Resources

Here you will find some resources you can use and adapt to support the roll-out of the new navigation to your employees.

🤔 FAQ:

Please try out your different use cases and let us know if you spot any bugs or have any suggestions for how to make it even better via our feedback form. We’ll be actively monitoring suggestions to inform any changes before closing the beta testing period.

No, in Q2-Q3 this year we will move all accounts over to the new navigation. Maintaining two navigations would significantly reduce our engineering capacity and therefore slow down the pace at which we can build new features and fix any bugs.

We heard in user interviews that the banner images at the top of the page takes up a lot of screen real estate and causes a lot of scrolling. For this reason, we have removed the large banners and replaced them with simpler and smaller gradient banners.

You can customise the colour of these banners in Company Settings → Colours.

To enable the most impactful roll-out of communities, we have put this power in your hands. You will find a new Company Setting that enables you to decide when the Community navigation item goes live. This means you can set up your Communities in advance and then launch them all in one go as part of a wider campaign.
