Overview

You can tag a piece of content with the skills it teaches using the Skills Learnt field. Recording the skills a course or resource develops helps you connect learning to capability, and lets your people see what they will gain from completing it. You can set skills when you first add content and change them at any time from the content's edit panel.

How to add skills to content

1. Open the content item from your Library and open the Edit content panel (the pencil icon on the right-hand toolbar).
2. Find the Skills Learnt field.
3. Start typing a skill and select it, or add a new one. Add as many skills as apply.
4. To remove a skill, click the cross on the skill.
5. Click Save changes to save.

Things to keep in mind

• The skills you add to content appear on the content's details, so learners can see what completing it will help them build.
• Keep your skill wording consistent across content so the same skill groups together rather than splitting into near-duplicates.

FAQs

Where do the skills I add appear?
They are shown against the content on its details page under Skills Learnt.

Can I add more than one skill?
Yes. Add as many skills as the content genuinely develops.

Who can do this

Owners, Admins, Managers, Content Managers and Instructors can edit Library content and its skills. People Managers, Employees and Restricted users cannot — they have read-only access to content.
