Your organization’s knowledge rarely lives in one place. Until now, much of it sat outside what Aura could use: team wikis and notes kept in other tools, and details shown only in diagrams and screenshots. This release helps Aura work from more of what your organization already knows.
Connected Knowledge now supports Notion, and the Aura Learner Agent can now answer from your Confluence and Notion content, so your wikis, documentation, and team notes can power Course creation and Learner answers. Image extraction lets Aura read the diagrams, charts, and screenshots inside your Course content and Global Resources. Admins can now set a custom persona, including a name and image, for Aura Rehearse.
This release adds Notion as a Connected Knowledge source, brings Confluence and Notion content to the Aura Learner Agent, enables image extraction, and introduces custom personas for Aura Rehearse.
Availability & Impact
Who’s eligible: All features in this release are available to customers who have signed the required AI terms and can access the Aura Configuration tile in Client Settings. If you don’t see the Aura Configuration tile and want access, contact your Account Manager. Connected Knowledge connections are limited by plan, and the limit applies across all sources, including SharePoint and Notion. If you have reached your limit, you may not be able to add a Notion connection.
Who’s affected: System Admins can connect Notion and Confluence. Admins with the Modify Online Course Syllabus permission can customize Aura Rehearse personas, with no new permissions required. Learners receive answers drawn from more sources, including images, and practice with customized personas.
Default state:
- Notion and Confluence connections: Off until a System Admin creates a connection and sets availability rules.
- Existing Confluence connections: Continue to sync. The Aura Learner Agent does not answer from this content until a System Admin sets availability rules.
- Image extraction: On automatically for eligible customers, with no Admin setup required.
- Custom personas: Off until an Admin turns on Customize persona in a Rehearsal.
Important: Image extraction only applies to content added, updated, or extracted after it is turned on for your account. To include images from existing Courses, extract them for Aura again. To include images from existing Global Resources, update or re-upload them. Connected Knowledge syncs, Course Extraction, and image extraction do not consume Aura credits.
Notion and Confluence for the Aura Learner Agent
Your team’s wikis, documentation and notes in Notion and Confluence can now power Aura Learner Agent answers, with no copying or reformatting. Connect a workspace once, choose what to sync, and Aura keeps that content current through regular syncs.
To get started, click the Connected Knowledge tile in Client Settings, then click Create connection next to Notion or Confluence.
- Give Learners answers in one place. The Aura Learner Agent can answer Learner questions from the content you share and cite its sources.
- Stay in control. Availability rules let you choose which Learners, Groups, or Departments can access each connection’s content.

Image Extraction
Aura can now read the images inside your Course content and Global Resources, so important information is no longer locked inside a visual. When Aura indexes PDF and Word content, it describes the meaningful images, including any text, labels, and numbers they contain, and adds that to what the Aura Learner Agent can search. Images in third-party lessons, such as SCORM and xAPI, and in Connected Knowledge files are not included.
- No setup needed. There is nothing for an Admin to turn on.
- Get richer answers. Learners can receive answers drawn from diagrams, charts, and screenshots, not just the surrounding text.
- Skip the rework. Keep your visual content as it is, with no need to rewrite it as text for Aura.
- Keep results relevant. Decorative images, such as logos and borders, are skipped so only meaningful images contribute.

Custom Personas for Aura Rehearse
Make every Aura Rehearse scenario feel more real. Admins can now give the persona Learners practice with a custom name and image, so a conversation with a customer, manager, or colleague looks and feels like the situation your Learners will actually face.
To get started, open a Rehearsal, go to Options, and turn on Customize persona.
- Make practice more engaging. A familiar face and name help Learners treat each conversation like the real thing.
- Tailor scenarios to your audience. Choose a presentation, name, and image that match the role Learners are preparing for.
- Keep it simple. Anything you leave blank is randomized for each attempt.
