Three of the biggest, what they actually cost you, and a 90 day plan to cut them. https://getadministrate.com/blog/product-update-learning-paths-august-2026/ https://getadministrate.com/blog/product-update-learning-paths-august-2026/ Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT JJ Cranston Learning Paths just got a significant upgrade. If you've ever had to nest paths inside paths to get the structure you wanted, or held off making a change because learners were already registered, this update is for you.
