Updating Content with the Content Update Coworker

Updating Content with the Content Update Coworker Overview The Content Update Coworker is an AI agent that identifies courses and documents within the Smartcat drive to keep it current. Rather than editing content manually, you describe an update objective, your coworker finds the relevant files already in your workspace, proposes a structured plan, and applies changes only after you review and approve them. Every update saves a new version with full version history so you can roll back at any time. After you accept changes to the source content, you can translate the updated course as a separate step, and only the changed segments consume Smartwords. The Content Update Coworker works alongside you. It proposes and executes changes, but you approve them. No changes are ever applied without your explicit confirmation. When to use it Use the Content Update Coworker when you need to: Update content to reflect any change within your content: a new policy, guideline, or terminology change, etc.Replace outdated terminology across content (for example, renaming a product feature across all courses)Apply accessibility or compliance requirements to existing contentMaintain a large content library with traceable, auditable update history Before you start Content files must be imported into Smartcat first The Content Update Coworker works with files that already exist in your Smartcat workspace. It searches content you have already imported to Smartcat, searches for the updates you describe, and makes those changes. Before you can update a course, it must be imported into Smartcat. You cannot upload a course directly into the Smartcat AI chat to update it. If your content is not yet in Smartcat, import it first, then return to the Home page to start an update session. Using a reference file You can upload a reference document (such as a new policy, updated guidelines, or a terminology list) directly into the Smartcat AI chat to describe what should change. The reference file tells the agent what to update, and the Content Update Coworker carries out that change across the content that exists in your workspace. How to use it Starting from the Home page Go to the Home page in your Smartcat workspace.In the Smartcat AI chat, describe your update objective in natural language. For example: "I want to update my workplace safety courses. All of them should include a note that the courses were written by [Author].""Update this course according to the new accessibility policy." (You can also upload a reference file alongside your message.)"Replace product X with product Y across all courses."You can also upload a file that describes the content updates you need to complete Your coworker audits your Smartcat Drive and finds every file affected by the change, across formats, including Rise and Storyline courses, PDFs, slides, documents, audio, and video. Your coworker uses both exact and semantic matching, so a request about "workplace safety" also surfaces content about related topics, like hazards or compliance. The agent presents an estimated scope, a plan showing which files it found and what changes it proposes to make. Review this plan carefully before proceeding.Click Approve to continue. The agent then stages the proposed changes for the first course. Reviewing and accepting changes Once the agent stages changes for a course, the course opens with proposed edits visible inline. You can: Accept all changes at once Reject all changesReview changes one by one using the diff controls All accepted and rejected changes are saved in version history. If you need to return to a previous state, use version history to restore any earlier version. After reviewing one course, your coworker moves to the next file in the approved plan. Starting from the Canvas editor Locate the project containing your course.Open your course in the Course editor. Select the content you want to update—a single block, a section, or the entire course.Click Update with AI from the contextual action menu.Enter your update objective. The agent analyzes your selected content and proposes changes inline.Review and accept or reject individual changes using the diff engine controls. Translating and exporting updated content The Content Update Coworker updates source content only. Translation is a separate step you initiate after accepting changes. To translate your updated course: After accepting changes in the editor, click Export to export a new translation project. Select the target languages. If the course was previously translated in Smartcat, your coworker reuses your Reviewed Translations (translation memory). Segments that did not change are automatically confirmed, and only the new or updated segments consume Smartwords.Click Export to export a single, dynamic, multilingual SCORM file. If you need to make more changes after your first export, open the source content and make your updates. Then click Publish to LMS to push the changes across all language versions, no re-export required. [Image] Version control Courses in the Canvas editor: Every update generates a new course version. You can navigate to any previous version in the version history and restore it at any time. Versions include both autosave snapshots and AI-suggestion versions marked as proposed or resolved.
