Your instant avatars just got a serious upgrade.
Instant avatars can now be rendered using NEO 2, our latest avatar rendering model. Until now, NEO 2 was only available for Colossyan avatars. That changes today, bringing the same expressive, lifelike output to the avatars you've built from your own footage.
How it works
When creating an instant avatar, you'll notice a few changes to the wizard:
- Upload a JPG photo to get started. NEO 2 produces the best results from a still image, so we've made that the recommended starting point. The video upload option remains available too.
- The default voice selector has a refreshed layout, though the functionality stays the same.
What this unlocks
- Your custom avatars now match the quality of our best Colossyan avatars
- Branded characters and personas can finally be rendered at NEO 2 quality
Your instant avatars, made better automatically. No reshoot required. 🚀

Every Colossyan user now works within the same organisation system, previously available to enterprise customers only.
What's changed:
- All users and workspaces now operate under a unified organisation structure
- One organisation owner manages permissions and usage limits across all workspaces in that org
- Workspaces are for structure and asset management. The organisation owner handles access and permissions
A simpler, more consistent experience for every team — fewer edge cases, one place to manage access.

Your voice library just got more regional. A new batch of high-quality English accents is now available in the editor.
New voices:
- Irish: Mick, Stephen, Shona
- Scottish: Abigail, Chris, Drew, Hector, Skye
What this unlocks:
- Training content that sounds natural and familiar for Irish and Scottish audiences
- Regional authenticity without needing to record your own voiceovers
More regional accents are on the way, shaped by customer feedback and requests.

Two new content blocks are now available for course creators in Colossyan Learn.
What's new:
- Tables: add structured content directly into lessons — comparisons, step-by-step breakdowns, key data — in a clean, readable format. Rich text editing, header rows, column resizing, and cell merge are all supported
- Diagrams: explain processes, frameworks, and relationships visually inside your lessons
What this unlocks:
- Complex information presented cleanly without switching to external tools
- Learners get a more structured, professional experience inside the course itself
Both are available to all users now.

The Layers panel now lets you rename, group, and hide elements. Scenes with lots of overlapping parts are a lot easier to manage.
What's included:
- Rename any layer by double-clicking it (actors keep their display name)
- Lock rework: locked layers freeze position and size only. Text and properties are still editable through the panel.
- Group nesting: group related layers into collapsible sections. Click the header to select all, or drag layers in and out.
- Hide/show: toggle any layer's canvas visibility without deleting it
- Spotlight contrast: non-spotlit elements dim to 10% opacity for easier focus
What this means for you:
- Scenes with many overlapping elements are easier to navigate and edit
- Locking a layer no longer blocks you from fixing a typo
- Templates with named, grouped layers are faster to reuse and update

We rebuilt how "Apply to All Scenes" works for avatars. Previously, swapping an avatar across a full project could be unreliable. Now it works consistently, even with scenes that have different avatar positions or sizes.
How it works:
- Select any avatar in a scene
- Click "Apply to all scenes" from the avatar menu
- The selected avatar replaces the existing one across every scene in your project
What this means for you:
- Swap presenters across an entire project in one click
- No more going scene by scene to update avatars manually

You can now edit text properties across multiple elements at once. Select several text boxes, change fonts, sizes, or colors in bulk. Multi-color replacement lets you swap specific colors across all text in your project.
How it works:
- Multi-select text elements across your project
- Edit font, size, color, or alignment for all selected elements at once
- Use multi-color replacement to swap a specific color everywhere it appears
What this means for you:
- Update text styling across a full project without touching each element
- Keep typography consistent when working with templates or rebranding

You can now change colors across your entire project in one step. The re-styling modal lets you swap brand colors, apply your brand kit, and update multiple elements at once instead of editing them one by one.
How it works:
- Open the re-styling modal from your draft
- Pick which colors to replace and choose new ones from your brand kit
- Changes apply across all scenes instantly
What this means for you:
- Rebrand or update a project in seconds instead of editing each element manually
- Keep every project consistent with your brand guidelines

Importing PowerPoint files into Colossyan is now up to 5x faster. We also added gradient support and automatic deduplication of repeated elements, so imported slides look cleaner from the start.
How it works:
- Upload any .pptx file and the import completes in seconds, not minutes
- Gradients from your original slides are preserved
- Duplicate elements (repeated logos, backgrounds) are automatically merged
What this means for you:
- Less time waiting and re-fixing imported content
- Your PowerPoint slides import closer to how they actually look
