Content Creator Redesign and Layouts

In September 2026, Thrive released a redesigned AI Content Creator with flexible layouts and a new block builder. Layouts are templates for arranging content blocks into columns, hero sections and galleries, so learning looks designed rather than stacked. Teams can build visually rich learning, from product training to onboarding, without leaving Thrive or relying on external authoring tools.

• Six layouts: full width, two columns, wide and narrow, narrow and wide, three columns and four columns.
• Template layouts for hero, media and text, text and media, and gallery designs.
• A redesigned block builder, with every block type in a left-hand menu.
• Blocks including text, image, PDF, audio, video, quiz, assessment, file, link, flipcard, embed and HTML.
• Interactive accordions for collapsible content sections.
• Layout duplication, so authors can copy a layout and reuse it.

• Design control, with clear visual hierarchy and no coding.
• Faster production, with everything built in one place.
• Fewer external authoring tools to pay for and manage.
• Existing content keeps working, with layouts available whenever authors want them.

• Authors choose a layout when creating or editing content.
• They drag blocks into each layout zone, and Thrive handles responsive sizing.
• Blocks are added from the left-hand menu and reordered by dragging.
• Layouts can be duplicated to speed up repeated designs.

• A comms team builds an announcement with a hero layout and a two-column section for detail and imagery.
• A course author uses a three-column gallery to show case study images side by side.
• A product trainer quickly adds and reorders text, video and quiz blocks from the left-hand menu.

• L&D teams and content creators building visually rich learning.
• Internal comms teams creating campaign-style content.
• Organisations consolidating their authoring tools.
