Overview

Your Library can show two kinds of learning content: the content your own organisation uploads (your private Library) and SuperPath's public learning content. The Enable public learning content in the Library? setting controls whether that public content appears. When it is switched off, your Library shows only the learning content your organisation has uploaded.

This is an account-wide setting on the Library tab in Settings.

How to turn on public learning content

1. Go to Settings → Library.
2. Find the Library Content section.
3. Switch on Enable public learning content in the Library?.
4. A save bar appears at the top of the page — click Save.

Good to know: Turning this setting on reveals an extra option — Enable users to self serve learning content from the public library? — which controls whether people can self-assign from the public content. See How to Enable Self-Serve Learning in the Library.

Things to keep in mind

• When public learning content is switched off, your Library will only contain the learning content uploaded by your organisation.
• This is an account-level setting that applies to your whole Library, not to an individual piece of content.
• Nothing is saved until you click Save — if you toggle the switch and leave the page without saving, the change is discarded.

FAQs

What happens to my own content when I turn this off?
Nothing — your organisation's uploaded content stays in the Library. Switching the setting off simply hides SuperPath's public learning content, leaving only your own.

Does this control paid featured providers too?
No. Paid featured providers are governed by a separate setting, Allow Paid Featured Providers in the Library, although those providers appear within the public Library. See How to Enable Paid Featured Providers.

Who can do this

Only Owners and Admins can change Library settings. The Settings area — where the Library tab lives — is only available to Owners and Admins, and saving a Library setting requires the same permission. Managers, Content Managers, People Managers, Instructors, Employees and Restricted users cannot.
