Overview

Levels are the columns of a Roadmap grid, each one describing a stage of progression. If a Level is no longer relevant, you can remove it. Deleting a Level removes the whole column, including everything you'd added in the cells beneath it. This article shows you how, and what to expect when you do.

How to delete a Level

1. Go to Roadmaps and open the Roadmap you want to edit.
2. Hover over the Level (column) you want to remove. A row of icons appears above its title.

3. Click the trash icon (Delete level).

4. A confirmation appears asking Are you sure you want to delete this level?. Click Confirm remove to delete it, or No thanks to cancel.

Things to keep in mind

• Deleting a Level also deletes every cell in that column — the descriptions, key skills, technical skills, behaviours and linked learnings you had added for that Level against each Competency. This cannot be undone.
• The Competencies (rows) and every other Level are untouched.
• The action icons only appear when you hover over a Level, so nothing is deleted by accident.
• If the Roadmap was published, deleting a Level moves it back to Unpublished. Re-publish when you're ready.

FAQs

Can I undo deleting a Level?
No. Once you confirm, the Level and all of its cell content are permanently removed. If you're unsure, consider duplicating the Roadmap first as a backup.

What happens to the other Levels?
Nothing. Only the Level you delete and its cells are removed; the remaining columns keep their content and order.

Should I be careful deleting a Level from a live Roadmap?
Yes. Deleting a Level permanently removes that column's cell content, and a published Roadmap reverts to Unpublished until you publish it again, so learners will see the change once you re-publish. It's best to make structural changes like this before a Roadmap is widely in use.

Who can do this

Owners, Admins, Managers and Content Managers can delete Levels from a Roadmap. People Managers, Instructors, Employees and Restricted users have read-only access to Roadmaps and cannot.
