## Overview
Linking a discussion to a piece of learning keeps the conversation attached to the thing it's about. A linked discussion shows up both on the Discussions hub and in the in-context Discussions panel on that learning item's page, so learners can talk about a course, pathway, event or Knowledge article right where they're studying it.

## How to link a discussion to a learning item
1. Start a new discussion from **Discussions → Start discussion** (see "How to Start a Discussion").
2. In the **New discussion** panel, find the **Linked Learnings** field.
3. From the type dropdown, choose what you're linking to: **Content**, **Pathway**, **Event** or **Knowledge**.
4. Select the specific item:
   * For **Pathway** and **Event**, pick it from the dropdown list.
   * For **Content** and **Knowledge**, start typing in the search box and choose the matching result.
5. Finish the rest of the discussion and click **Create**. The discussion is now tagged with that learning item, and its title is shown against the thread.

> **Good to know:** When you link a Pathway or Event, its image and cover are used for the discussion's thumbnail and banner automatically, so linked threads look consistent with the learning they belong to.

## Things to keep in mind
* You can link a discussion to four types of learning only: **Content** (courses), **Pathways**, **Events** and **Knowledge** articles. Roadmap levels are not supported as a linked type.
* A discussion can be linked to one learning item at a time.
* If you start a discussion from a learning item's own Discussions panel, the link is filled in and locked to that item — you won't be able to change it (see "How to Start a Discussion From a Course or Pathway Page").
* Linking is optional. A discussion with no linked learning simply lives on the hub.

## FAQs
**Which types of learning can I link to?**
Content (courses), Pathways, Events and Knowledge articles. Roadmap levels aren't available as a link target.

**Can I link to more than one item?**
No — each discussion links to a single learning item.

**Why can't I change the linked item on some discussions?**
If the discussion was started from a learning item's Discussions panel, it's locked to that item by design so the conversation stays scoped correctly.

**Where do linked discussions appear?**
On the Discussions hub like any other, and in the Discussions panel on the linked learning item's page.

## Who can do this
Linking is part of the discussion form, so anyone who can start (or edit) a discussion can link it. On the Discussions hub that's **Owners**, **Admins** and **Managers**; on a learning item's in-context panel it follows your organisation's "who can create discussions" setting. A discussion's author can also set or change the link when editing their own discussion, unless it was created pre-linked from a learning item. **Restricted** users cannot create or edit discussions.
