- Service constraints
- While Sana Learn is powerful, it has some practical boundaries. It focuses on learning, not replacing your HRIS, ITSM, or broader cloud management tools. Its gamification centres on badges, certificates and leaderboards rather than complex point economies. Some advanced community features, like rich social profiles or alumni networks, are not core capabilities today. You still need existing systems for identity, HR data and incident management, which Sana Learn integrates with instead of duplicating. Finally, it works best when organisations invest in clear learning goals, good content owners and ongoing measurement, not as a purely technical deployment across the organisation effectively.

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
From day one, your users have access to a rich online help center with guides, FAQs, videos, and step‑by‑step instructions, plus in‑product tutorials, tooltips, and walkthroughs that appear in context as they work. We also provide “Intro to Sana” courses directly in the platform so learners, creators, and admins can practice navigation, content creation, assignments, and reporting in a safe environment.
For live guidance, we run regular virtual onboarding webinars and role‑specific training sessions. Typical formats include beginner platform overviews, deep dives for administrators on programs and automations, and feature‑focused sessions as we launch new capabilities. These are all delivered online so global teams can join easily.
Enterprise customers are additionally supported by a dedicated Customer Success Manager and a specialist training team. They help design and execute your rollout plan, run tailored workshops for admins and content creators, support integrations and content migration, and provide ongoing best‑practice advice and business reviews. For many customers, this is complemented by community events and partner meetups where peers share how they use Sana. - Service documentation

- How the documentation is accessible
- The terms of data transfer upon termination are specified by the service agreement. Sana promptly makes Customer data available to terminating Customers in CSV format or JSON, or alternative formats determined by the Customer, at the Customer's reasonable expense.
- End-of-contract data extraction
-
When your contract with Sana ends, you stay in control of your data.
While the service is active, you can export much of your content directly from the product (for example via built‑in export features or APIs) and from any systems you’ve connected to Sana.
At termination, your organization can send us a written request asking us either to return your personal data or to delete it. If you request a return, we will provide your data back in a commonly used, secure format and then delete remaining copies. If you only request deletion, we will securely erase it without a return.
Any data we are legally required to keep (for example for tax or regulatory reasons) is held only for that specific purpose, remains protected by our security controls, and is not used for anything else. Once those obligations end, those copies are also securely deleted.
In all cases, deletion follows industry‑standard techniques designed to prevent data recovery (for example secure overwriting or secure destruction of encryption keys for encrypted data). - End-of-contract process
-
At the end of your contract, your access to the Sana platform ends and we start the off‑boarding process. Your organization can send us a written request within 30 days asking us either to receive back your personal data or to have it securely deleted. If you request a return, we provide the data in a commonly used, secure format and then delete remaining copies. In all cases, any personal data we still hold in active systems is deleted within a defined period, and backup copies are automatically aged out and removed. Where we are legally required to keep limited archival records (for example for tax purposes), we keep them only for that purpose and continue to protect them under the same security controls.
Your subscription price covers use of the Sana platform as specified in your order form, together with our standard SLA (including uptime commitments and service credits) and our standard support offering (self‑service resources, billing and subscription help, and technical support appropriate to your plan).
Separate professional services and other non‑software work (for example, bespoke implementation or consulting) are not part of the license price and, if used, are billed as additional services under your contract.
Using the service
- Web browser interface
- No
- Application to install
- No
- Designed for use on mobile devices
- Yes
- Differences between the mobile and desktop service
- Sana Learn is a browser-based platform that works across desktop, tablet, and mobile without requiring any installed client. The interface uses fully responsive web design, so pages automatically adapt to different screen sizes and remain easy to use on phones as well as laptops. Learners can access courses, assessments, videos, and progress tracking from mobile browsers with full functionality. Some content creation options are better accessed on desktops.
- Service interface
- Yes
- Description of service interface
- Sana Learn offers modern service interfaces so it can plug cleanly into your existing stack. It supports SAML SSO and SCIM for secure sign-on and automated user provisioning from identity providers and HR systems. A documented REST API and webhooks let you pull learning data into BI tools or other applications, and push events or updates back into Sana. For training telemetry, Sana supports xAPI and dedicated reporting endpoints so completions and engagement can flow into your analytics environment. In practice, this means Sana can act as a connected hub, not a silo.
- Accessibility standards
- None or don’t know
- Description of accessibility
- Sana Learn is accessible as a web-based application that can be used directly through modern web browsers without the need for additional software installations. The service is built using responsive design principles, allowing it to function effectively across desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Users can access Sana on different operating systems, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The interface adapts to various screen sizes and input methods and follows established web accessibility best practices to support the use of screen readers. This approach helps ensure that learners with diverse accessibility needs can effectively navigate and use the platform.
- Accessibility testing
- At Workday, accessibility is an ongoing journey, where we test, evaluate, and document conformance levels. We work towards a continuous improvement of accessibility across our product offerings and anticipate enhanced web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) conformance in future releases. We anticipate publishing documentation as we complete assessments on an ongoing basis. Workday updates this documentation to reflect updates in the services that materially affect the WCAG criteria
- User support accessibility
- None or don’t know
- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
- Sana Learn’s APIs are designed to connect the platform to your existing stack rather than to replace the admin UI. Through SCIM and SAML you can automate user provisioning and SSO from your IdP and HR systems. REST APIs, webhooks, and xAPI let you integrate with HR, CRM, content libraries, and BI tools, and move learning data in and out of Sana. Changes to people data flow automatically from your source systems and drive groups and enrollments. Course authoring, program design, and visual configuration are handled in the Sana interface rather than via public APIs.
- API documentation
- Yes
- API documentation formats
- Open API (also known as Swagger)
- API sandbox or test environment
- Yes
- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
-
Sana Learn is designed to feel like your own learning environment, not a generic tool.
You can fully brand the platform with your company name, custom domain (e.g. learn.yourcompany.com), logos, fonts, colors, and imagery, and even run separate branded portals for different audiences such as employees, partners, or customers. The landing page, welcome copy, and key notifications can be tailored to your tone of voice.
On the learning side, you can design role‑ and region‑specific learning paths, use Smart Groups to target the right people automatically, and control who sees what through flexible roles and permissions. Course authors can customize templates, tags, surveys, and feedback flows, while admins configure automations for enrollments, reminders, and due dates.
Data and governance are also configurable: you can add custom user fields, define skills frameworks, and build your own dashboards and reports, then connect them to HR, CRM, or BI systems via integrations and APIs.
In practice, global or platform admins control branding, roles, domains, and integrations; group admins manage programs and audiences for their area; and subject‑matter experts shape the learning content itself. This combination gives you strong central control with room for local teams to tailor the experience where it matters.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Sana Learn is engineered so that one customer’s demand doesn’t slow everyone else down. The platform runs on auto‑scaling, cloud‑native infrastructure with a secure multi‑tenant design, meaning resources can expand during spikes while keeping each customer’s environment logically isolated. Global CDN and load balancing ensure fast content delivery worldwide, even at peak times. This is backed by an enterprise‑grade uptime SLA and continuous monitoring, so our operations team can detect and resolve performance issues before they affect learners. In practice, you get consistent, reliable performance regardless of what other customers are doing.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
- Sana Learn gives you rich usage and ROI-focused reporting through its Insights module. You can track active usage of key courses and programs, completion and engagement rates, time spent learning, and detailed assessment results. Skill, competency, and role-readiness dashboards show how learning is building capabilities across teams. Surveys and feedback help you capture perceived impact and quality. All of this data can be exported or accessed via API and combined with HR or business metrics in your BI tools, so you can connect learning activity to outcomes like faster ramp-up, better performance, and reduced compliance risk.

- Approach to resilience
- A business continuity and disaster recovery plan is documented to identify and reduce risks, limit the consequences of damaging incidents, and ensure the timely resumption of essential operations
- Outage reporting
-
Sana Learn provides multiple ways to understand and monitor service health and outages.
First, we maintain a public status page at status.sanalabs.com, where you can see real‑time availability information and historical uptime, including the metrics used for our SLA. This is the primary external dashboard for platform status.
When there is a service disruption, particularly a critical outage, we follow a structured incident and communication process. For high‑severity issues, we provide an initial response within a defined time window and then send regular status updates until the problem is resolved. Customers are notified via email and in‑app messages, and enterprise customers also receive direct updates from their dedicated Customer Success Manager.
In addition, we use automated alerting and monitoring to detect issues quickly and notify relevant contacts, and after significant incidents we provide a written post‑incident report that covers root cause, impact, and remediation steps. For any personal data breach, we notify customers within legally aligned timelines and provide the detail needed to meet regulatory obligations.
