Learn Amp supports importing multiple Pluralsight courses at once, making it easy to build out your content library quickly. This guide covers how batch imports work, what to expect during large imports, and tips for managing your Pluralsight content at scale.

Understanding import behaviour helps you plan your content rollout effectively.

When you select multiple courses and click "Download selected":

1. Queued for processing: Each course is added to a background processing queue

2. Rate-limited: Imports are processed at a controlled rate to ensure reliability

3. Sequential processing: Courses are imported one at a time from the queue

4. Confirmation: You'll see a message confirming how many courses are queued

The integration processes imports at a steady, reliable rate:

💡 Tip: You don't need to wait on the import page. Courses will appear in your library as they're processed.

For each course, the system:

1. Fetches course details from Pluralsight (title, description, duration, image)

2. Creates an item in your Learn Amp library

3. Sets default visibility to "Selected"

4. Tags the course with Pluralsight categorisation

5. Makes it available for assignment and reporting

To import Pluralsight content, you need one of these Learn Amp roles:

• Curator

• Learning Designer

• Admin

• Owner

1. Navigate to the Pluralsight browser via Manage → Items → Add Content → Pluralsight

2. Search for or browse courses

3. Tick the checkbox next to each course you want

4. Click Download selected

5. Wait for the confirmation message

6. Check Manage → Items to see imported courses

For larger imports, consider breaking into manageable chunks:

1. Plan your import: Decide which courses you need

2. Import in batches of 50: This keeps processing times reasonable

3. Verify between batches: Check courses are appearing correctly

4. Continue until complete: Add more batches as needed

⚠️ Warning: Very large imports (hundreds of courses) may take significant time. Plan these for off-peak hours if possible.

While imports process:

1. Navigate to Manage → Items

2. Filter by supplier: Pluralsight

3. Sort by date added (newest first)

4. Watch for new courses appearing

You can continue using Learn Amp normally while imports process in the background.

Before importing:

1. Review Pluralsight's course catalogue

2. Identify courses aligned with your learning objectives

3. Consider your learners' skill levels and interests

4. Plan visibility and assignment strategy

Quality over quantity:

• Importing thousands of courses creates noise

• Curated collections drive better engagement

• Start with high-priority topics and expand

Before importing:

1. Search your existing library for the course title

2. Check if it's already been imported

3. Only import new courses

If duplicates occur:

1. Identify which copy has learner activity

2. Archive the duplicate without activity

3. Keep the one with completion records

How many courses can I import at once?
There's no hard limit on batch size, but very large batches take longer to process. We recommend batches of 50 courses or fewer for best experience.

Can I cancel an import that's in progress?
Once queued, imports will complete. If you've imported courses by mistake, you can archive them after they appear in your library.

What if an import fails?
Failed imports are retried automatically. If a specific course consistently fails, it may no longer be available in Pluralsight. Try importing it individually to see any error messages.

Do imports affect platform performance?
No. Imports are processed in the background and don't impact the learner experience or other admin activities.

Can I import the same course multiple times?
Technically yes, but it creates duplicates. The system doesn't prevent re-importing a course that already exists.

How do I know when all courses have imported?
Check Manage → Items filtered by Pluralsight. The count should match what you imported. Allow up to 30 minutes for large batches.
