Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause

Solution

Course List not appearing in the Learning Path.

The CL may have no active courses, may be archived, or the interface has not refreshed

Verify the Course List is active and contains valid courses. Refresh the page or reopen the LP editor.

Learning Path changes are not saving

Required fields may be incomplete or validation errors were missed.

Confirm all required fields are filled and check for on-screen validation messages before saving again.

Users cannot see newly added content in their Learning Path

Changes may not have been saved, or the user interface may be showing cached data.

Ensure LP updates were saved successfully. Ask users to refresh the portal or log out and back in.
