Content Update Coworker | Keep content current in any language
Keep every course and document current, in every language. The Content Update Coworker finds what changed, updates it, and re-translates only what moved. Finds every asset a change touches. When a policy, product, or procedure changes, or when the Coworker detects the change itself, it maps the full blast radius: every course and document affected, across formats and languages, even when the wording is not identical. Drafts the update and shows you the diff. It drafts the changes and shows an in-context before-and-after, so you see exactly what will change before anything is applied. You approve, edit, or reject. Nothing goes live without your sign-off. Applies safely and keeps every language in sync. Approved changes apply with versioning, audit trail, and rollback. It re-translates only what changed through your translation memory, preserves what did not, and publishes to your LMS in one click.
