## Overview

The **Learning Time** setting lets you record how long a piece of content takes to complete. Showing an expected time helps your people plan their learning and set the right expectations before they start. You enter a number and choose the unit — for example 30 minutes or 2 hours.

## How to set the learning time

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 **Learning Time** section.
3. Enter the length as a number in the **Length** field.
4. Choose the unit from the **Length unit** selector alongside it.
5. Click **Save changes** to save.

## Things to keep in mind

* Both the length value and the unit are optional — leave them blank if the time is not known.
* The learning time is shown on the content's details page when set.

## FAQs

**Do I have to set a learning time?**
No. It is optional, but adding one helps your people plan their time.

**Can I use hours as well as minutes?**
Yes. Enter the number in the **Length** field and pick the matching unit from the **Length unit** selector.

## Who can do this

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