Hi there. I have created a course with content locking, course navigation, bookmarking and progress all enabled. They can’t move onto the next topic without completing all the previous topic. Is it possible for a learner to pause or save their work and return later? It’s a two-hour(ish) course so I don’t know whether to say they have to do it all in one sitting or not.

Hi @kellie.bright - it’s dependent on where the learner is viewing the course from. If the course is published for SCORM and uploaded to a SCORM compliant LMS, it’s standard behaviour that a learner’s progress is saved. They should be able to leave the course part way and pick up where they left off, if bookmarking is enabled. It’s also a good idea to enable the Local Storage Extension on the course before publishing.
