Exciting changes are underway at Pure Bookkeeping Central! We’re reimagining how you experience learning, connection, and community within our platform. These updates are more than just a visual redesign—they represent a leap toward an integrated learning and support environment that feels like a vibrant, digital classroom.
Why the Change?
We’ve been listening closely to feedback from our community, and we know how valuable it is to ask questions, connect with peers, and engage in real conversations—especially while working through courses. Think of what we’re building as Facebook Groups meets your favourite online course.
Our upcoming release will:
-
Enable real-time conversation inside courses.
-
Let you post questions while learning and share those questions with others in your course group.
-
Make it easier to see, filter, and respond to questions, just like in a classroom.
This enhanced community-learning experience means you’ll not only gain clarity faster but also learn from your peers' questions and insights.
The Big Navigation Shift
To realize this vision, we’re rolling out a major redesign: the navigation panel will move from the top of your screen to the left side.
Why the left? This change gives us more screen real estate, better organization, and ensures the main menu is always accessible as you scroll. You’ll be able to:
-
Expand or collapse the menu.
-
Quickly jump to Learning, Events, Community, or Support.
-
Access user tools like Messages, Notifications, and Admin controls with ease.
More Than Just New Placement
Navigation is just the beginning. We’ve also overhauled in-course navigation to make your learning smoother and more intuitive. You’ll now see:
-
Your course title is displayed in a persistent course header.
-
The vertical module list has been redesigned to be always visible and easier to interact with.
-
We provide sticky lesson navigation to ensure you never lose your place.
You’ll also love our tightened layouts—they're cleaner, clearer, and more focused on what matters most: learning and community.
Enhanced Course Search
Finding the right learning path has never been easier. We’ve improved our search tool to help you browse and filter courses across our full catalogue—from orientation modules to advanced workflow training.
Staying Connected & Informed
And of course, your profile tools, messages, and notifications are all right where you need them—just one click away in the new sidebar.
When Is It Happening?
This transformation is coming very soon, and we’ll be looking for your feedback once it’s live. We’re excited to roll this out to you, and we believe it will make learning and engaging in PB Central more powerful than ever.
