Changelog

You can now add image attributes to your credential designs, giving you more flexibility to personalize credentials with recipient-specific visuals.

With this update, custom attributes can be created as either Text or Image attributes. Image attributes can be used for details such as profile photos, signatures, logos, ID photos, or other visuals that may be different for each recipient.

Once an image attribute is added to the Design Studio, you can place it on the canvas and resize it however you need. The image preserves its original aspect ratio and expands to fit the selected area, so it stays clean and consistent in the design.

You can also use the existing resizing, snapping, and layering options in the Design Studio to position image attributes more precisely and create better credential layouts. Before issuing, these images are shown in the credential preview, helping you review how each recipient’s credential will look.

This helps you create credentials that feel more personal, branded, and complete, while giving your recipients credentials that include the right visual details for their achievement or identity.

You can now use webhooks to send credential issuance data from Wauld to other systems automatically.

With this update, whenever a credential is issued, Wauld can send a structured payload to a webhook URL configured by your team. This helps you keep external systems updated, trigger follow-up workflows, and pass issuance details to the tools that need them.

The webhook payload includes key issuance information, such as issuer details, recipient details, credential details, and related issuance data. This allows your connected systems to understand who issued the credential, who received it, what was issued, and when the issuance happened.

Webhooks can be used to support workflows such as updating learner records, syncing issued credential details with a CRM, sending data to an internal reporting system, triggering notifications, starting an approval or follow-up process, or storing issuance activity in your own database.

This gives you more flexibility to use Wauld issuance data across the systems where your team already manages recipients, records, reporting, or follow-up actions.

You can review the sample webhook payload below to see what data is sent when a credential is issued:

You can now issue credentials through Wauld with alignment to the 1EdTech Open Badges 3.0 specification, giving your credentials a stronger standards-based foundation for verification, portability, and trust. Instead of being just a visual badge, each credential now carries structured achievement data in a format designed for broader compatibility across platforms and ecosystems.

With Open Badges 3.0 support, all credentials include structured metadata for the issuer, recipient, achievement, criteria, skills, evidence, and related context. That metadata is represented in JSON-LD format.

This gives issuers a more future-ready way to issue digital credentials and helps ensure achievements are represented in a format that is easier to validate and interpret across different platforms.

For recipients, this means the credentials they earn carry richer and more trustworthy information about what they achieved, who issued it, and what it represents. That makes credentials more meaningful when shared with employers, institutions, digital wallets, or other platforms, while also making it easier for others to understand and trust the achievement behind them.

Working with attributes in the Design Studio is now quicker and more intuitive.

Users can now add attributes directly by clicking on the attribute chips in the left-side panel. Image attributes are added straight to the canvas, while text attributes work in a more flexible way based on what the user is doing. If a user is typing inside a text box, the attribute is inserted right at the cursor position. If not, it is added as a new text box on the canvas.

This makes it easier to build credential designs faster, reduces extra steps while editing, and gives users a more natural way to place dynamic content exactly where they need it.

Credentials can now include Skills and Earning Criteria, helping issuers show not just that someone earned a credential, but what that credential represents and how it was achieved. These details can be added during document creation or updated later, making it easier to keep credential information accurate, useful, and relevant over time.

With this update, issuers can make credentials more informative by adding:

• Skills to highlight the key abilities, competencies, or areas of knowledge the credential holder possesses

• Earning Criteria to explain what the recipient had to do to earn it, such as completing a course, passing an assessment, demonstrating a skill, or meeting any other specific requirement

• Supporting links to add further context where needed

This helps recipients better understand and present their achievements, while also giving employers, institutions, and other viewers a clearer picture of the value behind each credential. Recipients will also now see dedicated sections for Skills, Earning Criteria, and About Issuing Authority whenever this information is available, adding more depth and credibility to the credential experience.

Recipients and issuers can now print credentials directly from the credential detail view.

A new Print option is now available alongside download, making it easier to create physical copies when needed. This is also available in the logged-out recipient experience, so recipients can access printed copies without login.

Credential download is now always available, even for logged-out recipients.

This removes unnecessary friction for recipients who simply want quick access to their credential. At the same time, actions that still require login, such as sharing or adding to LinkedIn, are now shown more clearly through a login prompt so users understand what becomes available after signing in.

Finding the right template is now faster and more intuitive.

The Template Library now includes:

• Better filtering across Category, Theme, Style, and Color

• Dynamic filter updates that only show valid combinations

• Search across template names and filters

• With 300 new templates added, the library now features over 900 templates

We have also added template switching inside the Design Studio, so users can change templates without leaving the design experience. This gives teams more flexibility early in the design process while making it easier to explore options.
