This article explains how to work through a step in the player and get it marked complete so you can move on to the next one. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/superpath-help-centre/how-to-complete-a-learning-step/01-step-player-full_e09630d5.png) ## Working through a step 1. Open the Pathway from **My Learnings** and start it, or click a step to jump straight to it. 2. The step opens in the player, with the content in the middle of the screen and a bar along the bottom. 3. The bottom bar shows your overall progress as a percentage and **Step X of Y**, with a **Back** button on the left and the action button on the right. 4. Watch, read or complete the content as needed. ## Marking a step complete When you've worked through the content, use the button in the bottom right to finish the step: * For most steps this button reads **Mark as complete**. * For an Event step it reads **Mark as attended**. * For a section it reads **Next** (a section is complete once you've been through it). Clicking the action button records the step as complete, shows a **Nice job, you have completed this learning step** confirmation, and moves you on. When you finish the last step, SuperPath takes you to the Pathway's completion page. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/superpath-help-centre/how-to-complete-a-learning-step/02-step-bottom-bar_fa7a937b.png) > **Tip:** Clicking the arrow to go to the next step will also mark the current step complete for you, so you rarely need to click **Mark as complete** separately. ## When a step completes automatically Some steps don't need you to press a button: * **SCORM and MindSmith courses** complete on their own once you finish the course in the player — there's no manual **Mark as complete** button for them. * **Uploaded videos** are marked complete automatically once you've watched them. ## Steps that need extra actions Depending on how the step was set up, the action button changes to guide you through what's required: * **A required video or course must be finished first.** If a step's content is required, the action button stays disabled until you've watched the video or completed the course. * **Forms** show **Submit form to continue** — submit the Form itself and the step will progress. * **Evidence-required steps** show a **Submit evidence** button instead of **Mark as complete**. Submit your evidence and then complete the step — see *How to Submit Evidence for a Learning Step*. * **Approval-required steps** show **Submit for review**. Once you submit, the step shows **Submitted for review** and its status becomes **Awaiting Review**; you'll be notified once someone in your organisation has reviewed it. If it's declined you can view the reason and resubmit. * **Prerequisite steps** must be done in order — if an earlier step has to be completed first, the player sends you there before you can complete this one. ## Things to keep in mind * You can move **Back** and forward through steps at any time; your progress is saved as you go. * A step that requires evidence or approval isn't finished the moment you view the content — it's complete only once the evidence is accepted or the approval is granted. * If the action button is greyed out, check whether there's still required content to watch or a Form to submit. * Completing every step in a Pathway takes you to its completion page, where any certificate or points you've earned are shown. ## FAQs **Why is the "Mark as complete" button greyed out?** The step most likely has required content you haven't finished yet — for example a video you need to watch to the end or a course you need to complete. Finish that content and the button becomes available. **I finished a course but the step didn't complete — what happened?** SCORM and MindSmith courses complete automatically once the player receives the finished status. Give it a moment to update; if it still doesn't complete, refresh the page and reopen the step. **What does "Submitted for review" mean?** The step needed approval, so your submission has gone to a reviewer. Its status is **Awaiting Review** and you'll be notified once it's been reviewed. You don't need to do anything else in the meantime. **Do I have to do the steps in order?** Usually you can move freely, but if a step has a prerequisite you'll need to complete that earlier step first. ## Who can do this Any learner can complete the steps in a Pathway that has been assigned to them or that they've added themselves — this includes **Employees**, **Restricted** users and every other role. Steps that require review are approved separately by the reviewer your organisation has designated (for example a Manager, Admin or Owner), not by the learner.
