Full steam ahead for August!
For us, the summer has been a time of laying the groundwork and making progress on some major new features for you all! Expect to see the outcomes of these projects in the next few weeks (starting this month!) all in an effort to make this new school year for you and your students the best (and easiest) yet.

We’ve been working on a whole host of behind-the-scenes improvements for you.
It may not seem flashy, but we’ve spent July focusing on some behind-the-scenes improvements to prepare for some major releases in the coming weeks! Including (but not limited to) our new content restriction feature, improvements to our integrations, expansion of our block editor, and increased embed options for our Labor Market Insights module! Stay tuned for more on these, but rest assured knowing they’re very near the finish line!
Upcoming + Continued Priorities for August
We’re updating our integration with Symplicity to enable more granular import capabilities!
We’re expanding the details that we can import through our integration with Symplicity to allow you to more intentionally filter and curate events imported from Symplicity! Soon, you’ll be able to include events tagged by class level. More on this soon!
We’re expanding the Block editor to bring more flexibility and formatting options to your platform!
We’re upgrading our text editing tools to utilize the highly flexible Block editor technology. This upgrade allows you to format and style your content with much more control and stylistic control, to improve your editing experience, and to build more visually engaging posts for your students and stakeholders! Right now, you can opt in to start using this upgrade on your blog content and custom pages. Over the summer, we’ll be working to extend the editor to your communities and resource content.
If you don’t currently have the block editor enabled for Custom Pages or Blogs (or aren’t sure), and you’d like to enable it, reach out to us at support@gouconnect.com! It’s completely free, and included as we work to add continuously evolving value to your virtual career center.
We’re building the ability to restrict content based on end-user profile attributes!
It’s in progress! With this new release, you’ll be able to set specific visibility permissions for individual pieces of content, based on SSO authentication, or individual profile settings! Now, you can easily host all your resources – for faculty, students, and more – all within uConnect, without needing to lock your entire site.
We’re building more embed options for our Labor Market Insights module !
With this new version of our Labor Market Insights module, you’ll now have access to an <iframe> code that will allow you to plug your Labor Market Data visualization into any webpage owned by your university. This could have a huge impact on admissions / enrollment, employer engagement, and more!
