Sphere has a refreshed experience for planning lessons, creating resources and developing assessments, with clearer navigation, more focused workspaces and improved visibility of progress across a course.

• Lessons and resources are brought together within a clearer, more consistent workspace.
• Resource types and lesson coverage are easier to identify.
• Improved progress indicators show how Key Learning Points are covered across lessons.
• Refined filters, labels and navigation make it easier to move between the main areas of Sphere.

The Lessons and Resources area has received a further usability and design uplift.

• Resource indicators now use recognisable icons to make different outputs easier to distinguish.
• Key Learning Point controls, coverage indicators and progress displays have been refined.
• Filter controls are presented more clearly and consistently.
• Navigation has been reorganised to make the main Sphere workspaces easier to access.

The HTML Presentation editor has been refined to provide a clearer and more efficient editing experience.

• The slide preview remains visible while you work with longer editing panels.
• Slide navigation, preview modes and common slide actions are grouped more clearly.
• Slide reordering controls are easier to discover and use.
• Text, speaker notes and layout controls are organised into clearer editing panels.
• Component layouts provide a more intuitive representation of the available slide space.

Sift now presents Find and Ask as two clear and distinct ways to work with selected documents.

• Find searches for relevant words, phrases, topics, documents and passages without generating a synthesised answer.
• Ask lets you submit a natural-language question and receive an evidence-backed answer with supporting citations.
• Mode-specific guidance, actions and result presentation make it clearer which capability is being used.
• The selected document scope remains visible and applies across both modes.
• The experience has been designed to remain clear and accessible across desktop and mobile devices.
