Publish a Pathway to the Portal (Detail Tab)
Why publish a Pathway? To make it available to a learner or selected group of learners.
Note: For this section, it is assumed that you already have an understanding of how to create and edit a Pathway.
How do you know your Pathway is ready to publish?
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the direct and/or indirect Category published?
- Does the Pathway include all the steps I want the learner to complete?
- Are the steps in the correct order?
- Have the Prerequisites been setup correctly?
- Have I confirmed that Log To Learner Record is checked on the steps I want to report on? Is Log to learner record checked on the assessment?
- Has a Pilot group completed the Pathway to confirm there are no spelling errors on the steps or in the content?
- Is the Target Audience setup and have I refreshed it?
If the answer is Yes to all, you are ready to publish your Pathway.
Note: The steps followed in this article can be completed to publish a category as well.
How to publish your Pathway

On the Pathway Treeview, find and expand the Category nodes and then click ON the pathway you want to publish.
