Completion rules and skill tags for video, PDF and Text & Media content
Choose whether learners can skip through videos, whether they must confirm reading a PDF or a Text & Media Block, and which skill tags link the content to your skills catalogue.
How do I control completion for video content?
In the video content window, use Allow video seeking:
When it is on, learners can skip ahead in the video without watching it to the end.
When it is off, learners must watch the full video before it is marked as complete.
Turn it off when completion should reflect real viewing.
How do I control completion for PDF content?
In the PDF content window, turn on Read Confirmation Needed. Learners then have to tick a checkbox to confirm they have read the PDF.
This is useful when the document is part of a formal process and you need a clear acknowledgement from the learner.
How do I control completion for the Text & Media Block?
If you see the Reading rules section in the Text & Media Block window, turn on Require employees to confirm they read this content. Learners then have to tick an acknowledgement checkbox for the read to count; without it, opening the content is enough. If the content has interactive blocks, learners must complete them correctly before they can tick the acknowledgement.
How do skill tags work in Learn Content?
If skills are active on your platform, the video and PDF windows show a Skill Tags field. Quiz questions also have Skill Tags. Tagging links the content to your skills catalogue, and the tagged items appear in the content's Skills Overview tab.
If you add no tags, the content still works for learners, but it is not linked to any skill.
For how tagged content contributes to skills, see How Learn content feeds the skills engine.
Where do I edit these settings?
Go to Learn > Learn Content and open the content item.
Select the Content Management tab.
Open the Video Content, PDF Content or Text & Media Block row, change the options and save.
If you upload a new video file, Allow video seeking and the skill tags can only be saved once the video finishes processing.
If the content is already published, review these settings carefully before saving, because they change what learners must do to complete the content.
