What’s new at Wola: School’s in session edition

We shipped a stack of upgrades this week—enough to make Monday feel like a B-day. Here’s what’s new, with just enough teacher snark to keep you awake without your morning joe ☕️.

🔒 Privacy, access, and monetization: because not everything is for the whole class

  • Private Wolas: Lock down your premium gems 💎 so only the right people see them. No more hallway lurkers peeking at your answer key.
  • Applet privacy controls: Privacy isn’t just a checkbox—it flows through applets and views so “off-limits” actually means off-limits 🚫.
  • Trick play: All of these are free forever if you sign up now, just know that deal won't last!

👉 Why you’ll care: Real control over who sees what, and a clean path to an A for students and teachers alike.

🗂 Folders: finally, your “stuff” has a place to live

  • Create, rename, delete folders.
  • Assign content to folders and filter by them in the UI.
  • This is the tidy desk of your dreams ✨—minus the sticky notes from admin.

🎲 Applet power-ups: copy-paste your brilliance

  • New “Copy” action for Bingo Boards, Flash Card Sets, Slot Machines, Brain Boards, and Wheels. This allows you to quickly copy and customize your favorite Wolas from you & other users!
  • Revamped the applet header for cleaner, more accessible UI.
  • Build once, duplicate mercilessly 🤖.

🔍 Search and navigation: less hunting, more finding

  • Sticky sidebar filters, better spacing for search results.
  • CTA banner to guide next steps.
  • Responsive nav fixes so mobile doesn’t feel like grading on a phone 📱.

It’s the difference between “Where did I put that?” and “Found it before the bell 🛎.”


Its been busy at Wola. We have a lot more around the corner, including a couple new applets for teaching & learning. We hope to show them off soon! Take Care of yourself this back to school season, and keep that Wola streak alive!
