FAQs
Q: What's the difference between libraries I see?
You may see the Learn Amp Library (curated by Learn Amp), partner libraries (from content providers like Microlearn or Skillshub), and your organisation's own library (content you've created or uploaded).
Q: Can I move content between libraries?
Content typically stays within its source library. However, you can add items from any library to Learnlists and Channels to create custom learning paths.
Q: How do I add content to a library?
For your organisation's library, create new items via Content → Create Item. For partner libraries, content is delivered automatically and appears in your Pending Items queue.
Q: Can I delete content from a partner library?
You can archive or hide partner content from your platform, but you cannot delete it from the source library. Use visibility settings to control what learners can access.
Q: How do I pull a file showing all Items in my library?
Use the Content Log (Reporting → Content) to see all Items across your platform. You can filter by library, content type, or other criteria, then export as CSV to get a complete list.
Q: What's the best view for managing large libraries?
List view is recommended when managing content, as it allows you to see more items at once and use batch actions efficiently.
Q: How do ratings work?
Learners can rate content after viewing it. Ratings are aggregated to show average scores, helping you identify popular and effective content.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
Library not appearing | Check your user role has permission to view libraries. Contact your platform administrator if needed. |
Can't change visibility | Verify you have Curator, Admin, or Owner role. Some partner content may have restrictions. |
Batch actions greyed out | Ensure you've selected items using the checkboxes in list view before attempting batch actions. |
Categories not showing | Categories may need to be created first. Check with your platform administrator. |
Content not appearing after approval | Newly approved content may default to hidden visibility. Check and update the visibility settings. |
Filters not working as expected | Clear all filters and try again. Some filter combinations may return no results. |
