Updating Items with Volt (Open Beta)
Updating Items with Volt (Open Beta) allows you to modify existing learning items using natural language instructions within a Volt conversation. It's available to Admins and Owners with Volt enabled.
Overview
Once you've created learning items on your platform, keeping them up to date matters just as much as creating them. With Volt's item and exercise updating agents, you can make changes to items and their exercises using plain language, without touching the editor.
This feature is currently in Open Beta. You can enable it from Company Settings → AI Features.

Quick Start Guide
From the sidebar, select Settings, then AI Features
Ensure Volt AI Assistants is toggled on
Enable the Item Updater, Exercise Updater, and/or Exercise Remover toggles as required
Open the Volt panel from the sidebar
Reference the item you want to update and describe the changes — for example, "Update the introduction in the Data Privacy item to reflect GDPR changes" or "Remove the multiple choice exercise from the Onboarding Essentials item"
💡 Be specific about which item and what changes you want. The more context you give Volt, the more accurate the result.
FAQs
Q: Can Volt update multiple items at once?
You can update multiple items in sequence within a single conversation. Giving Volt a very broad instruction covering many items at once may not produce the results you expect — it's best to work through items one at a time.
Q: Will updates made by Volt override my existing content?
Yes — when Volt updates an item or exercise, it modifies the existing content. Review changes after they're made and use your platform's version history if you need to revert.
Q: Can I undo a change made by Volt?
Volt doesn't have a built-in undo function, but your platform's standard version history and content management tools remain available.
