We created our own Edition, which is basically core Totara with added extras. Check out each major release and what features you can expect from each:
We’re working on a number of improvements to our Edition. They include:
Bulk uploading courses? It can be cumbersome adding activity images, so we’re making a tool that will allow you to set a default image for each activity.
Don’t worry, you can override this to add unique images where it’s needed. This saves time, but still gives you creative control.
One key piece of work is ensuring our Edition is compatible with v19. We also made sure to include the new sidebar menu within our own theme, Blueprint.
We built a new activity where learners can add notes within a course or programme.
As they progress through the course, they can add new notes and then at the end, you can also add an activity where these notes can be downloaded.
This is great for revision purposes, and the doc will come out with the course tile and branding already attached.
We’ve built another new block which allows learners to see their learning. This block is different from the “My Learning” block because of the categorisation of courses.
The “My Courses” block organises courses into categories, facilitating a more structured and simplified user experience.
This custom-built activity allows you to seamlessly integrate your videos into your learning content. You can add captions and subtitles to be truly accessible.
Customise completion criteria by specifying a required watch percentage and access to in-depth reporting to better understand user interaction with video content.
Plus, learners can resume partially watched videos, right from where they left off.
We’re always adding new functionality to the platform via our Edition. Here’s what we’re prioritising:
We recently built Course Wizard, but we’re looking at integrating AI functionality so you can drop in your documents and let the Wizard build your courses from your documents.
We built eCommerce capability for Totara sites, but we have plans to further upgrade both functionality and design for better user experience.
Here are some of the core features we’ve made as part of our major releases.
Introducing the BuildEmpire Edition.
That’s our version of core Totara. It comes with add-ons like passkeys, extra video formatting and tile grids.
Most recently, we’ve created our own version of the Totara theme; called Blueprint. It’s a cleaner base to build your LMS off of.
Totara course creation has lots of configuration which is what makes it so powerful.
In our summer 2026 release, we created Course Wizard which allows you to build a course in just 4 steps.

We’ll share Totara v20 and BuildEmpire Edition 3.0 sneak peeks in the coming weeks…
We know learner engagement is a huge challenge in L&D.
We’re working on adding a points system so you can reward your users. Whether you pick gems, points, coins or stars!
And you can use this points system to create a leaderboard to encourage competitiveness.
