# How to Submit Evidence for a Learning Step

# How to Submit Evidence for a Learning Step

## Overview
Some learning steps ask you to prove you've done something — for example uploading a certificate, sharing a link to your work, or describing what you completed. When a step requires evidence, you submit it yourself from the learning player before the step can be finished. This article covers the learner side: how you provide your evidence. (Setting a step up to *require* evidence is done by an Admin or content creator — see *Requesting Evidence*.)

## How to submit evidence
1. Open the learning from **My Learnings** and work through the step as normal.
2. When evidence is required, the step shows an **Evidence required** panel describing what you need to provide, and the action button reads **Submit evidence** rather than **Mark as complete**.
3. Click **Submit evidence** to open the **Submit Learning Evidence** window.
4. Choose how to provide your evidence:
   * **Link to evidence** — paste a URL into the **Enter a link to evidence** box (for example a shared document or an external certificate).
   * **Upload evidence** — upload a file from your device.
5. In the **Evidence description (required)** box, describe the specific evidence you're providing.
6. Click **Submit evidence**.

> **Note:** The **Submit evidence** button in the window stays disabled until you've added a link or file **and** written a description — both are needed.

## If you can't submit evidence
If you genuinely can't provide evidence, turn on the **I cannot submit evidence** switch in the same window and enter a reason explaining why. You can submit with just a reason in this case — you don't need to add a link or file. Your reason is recorded against the step for the reviewer to see.

## After you submit
Once your evidence is in:

* The step shows **Evidence submitted**, and you can click **View evidence** to see the link or file and the description you provided.
* If the step also needs approval, submitting your evidence sends it for review — the status becomes **Awaiting Review** until someone reviews it.
* If the step only needs evidence, you can then complete the step in the usual way (see *How to Complete a Learning Step*).

## Things to keep in mind
* If the step has required content — a video to watch or a course to finish — the **Submit evidence** button stays disabled until you've completed that content.
* You provide one piece of evidence per step: either a link or an uploaded file, plus a description.
* If a reviewer declines your submission, the step reopens so you can submit fresh evidence.
* Evidence can be required on Pathway steps and on standalone learning assignments — the process is the same in both.

## FAQs
**Can I submit both a link and a file?**
You choose one or the other for the evidence itself — **Link to evidence** or **Upload evidence** — and always add a description alongside it.

**Why won't the Submit evidence button turn on?**
You need both a link or file **and** a description. If you've switched on **I cannot submit evidence**, you instead need to have entered a reason.

**What if I truly can't provide evidence?**
Use the **I cannot submit evidence** switch and explain why. Your reason goes to the reviewer, who decides how to proceed.

**Can I change my evidence after submitting?**
Not directly. If a reviewer declines your submission the step reopens for you to submit again. If you need to correct accepted evidence, ask your Manager or Admin.

## Who can do this
Any learner submits evidence for their own learning steps — this includes **Employees**, **Restricted** users and every other role. Whether a step requires evidence at all, and who reviews it, is configured by an Admin or content creator; reviewing and accepting submitted evidence is done by the designated reviewer, not the learner.
