This article summarizes what changed in the Onscreen Guidance release of 31st October 2026, for administrators and content authors who manage guides, announcements and resources. It covers two new features, two improvements, the bug fixes shipped alongside them, and where to follow what is coming next.

What’s new?
We've been busy! This release puts more control in the hands of authors and makes it easier to reuse the content you've already built. You can now turn an existing Guide into a Tooltip in a few clicks, and take charge of exactly what AI translation touches, with the freedom to review and edit the results before they reach learners.
Resources get smarter too, with wildcard matching that lets one Resource appear across many pages. Add a fresh, modern Confirm login page and a round of fixes that make Resource Collections, Tooltips, and SAP Fiori guidance more reliable, and there's plenty here for authors, admins, and learners alike. More is on the way.

AI Translation Controls
What it is
Authors now decide what AI translation touches in both Guides and Tooltips. Choose whether Text IDs are included, mark specific fields as never-translate, and review and edit AI translations directly in the Editor.
Why you’ll love it
Identifiers, system terms, and brand names stay intact through translation, and you can correct machine output before it reaches your learners. Guides and Tooltips work the same way, so you get a consistent experience across both.
How to use it
Open the translation options in the Editor, choose which fields to include or exclude, then review and edit the translated text before publishing.
Â
Convert Guides into Tooltips
What it is
Authors can now create a Tooltip from an existing Guide. The option is available from the three-dot menu and in bulk actions on the Guide list in the Editor, using the same dialog as Copy.
Why you’ll love it
Reuse the content you've already built instead of recreating it from scratch. You can choose to keep assignees and tags, and a confirmation tells you exactly which Guide became which Tooltip.
How to use it
On the Guide list in the Editor, open the three-dot menu or select several Guides for bulk actions, choose the convert option, enter a new name, and tick the 'Keep assignees' and 'Keep Tags' checkboxes if needed.
Â
New Confirm Login Page
What it is
A refreshed, more modern login page for Confirm on Onscreen.
Why you’ll love it
Your users get a cleaner, more polished first impression every time they sign in.
How to use it
No setup needed. The new login page appears automatically.
Â
Wildcard Metadata for Resources
What’s changed
Authors can now use wildcards ('*' or '.*') in Resource metadata, just as they already can for Announcements. For example, 'Customer.*' matches Customer Search and Customer Details, but not Order Search. Exact matches work exactly as before.
Why you’ll love it
One Resource can now appear across many pages in the Knowledge Hub, so you no longer need to add a metadata value for every page title. A number of customers asked for this to save setup time.
How to use it
Enter a wildcard pattern in the Resource's metadata value. If a location has several metadata entries, the Resource appears when any of them matches. Mandatory metadata still needs both the URL and the metadata to match.
