Library

The Library page is organized to help learners easily find the content they need.

The first thing you see is your organization's curated content in a section labeled by you. Under that, you see Skill Areas, which is the Skillsoft content you contracted and have entitled to you. Within each of these two categories, you see topic areas. Drilling down into topic areas, you see subjects related to that topic. Going still deeper, within a subject, you see channels, which are very focused groups of content organized by content type.

You can customize the library by adding, editing, or removing categories, areas, subjects, or channels. You do that from under the Content menu, see:

If you want to change the order that areas and subjects display to learners, you do that when you are looking at the Admin view of the library. Only site admins can change the order of areas and subjects.
