Edit a Single-view Custom Channel

A single-view channel does not have technology, version, or expertise level selections on the header.

You can edit a custom channel that is in a Draft, Unpublished Changes, or Published status in Percipio.

To edit a single-view channel

1. On the CONTENT > Custom Channels page, locate the custom channel you wish to modify.
2. Click the channel name, or click > Edit. The channel page displays.

   5. Choose a background image.
      • The background image displays at the top of the channel.
      • Channel images must be uploaded to Percipio in a 16x9 aspect ratio.
      • The recommended size for the image is 1920 x 1080px with a file size of no more than 300k

4. Add content to the channel.

   Note: You can only add content in the custom channel's language. If you change your Percipio site language while modifying a custom channel, your search results will still only return results in the custom channel's language. For example, if you create a German channel, only German content can be added to it, even if your site language is set to English.

   1. On the channel page, add new content:
      • Click Add content from library: Search the Skillsoft library for existing content.
        1. Enter search terms and click .
        2. Optionally, use the filters to refine your search results.
        3. Click next to the content to add it to the channel.
        4. If you added content but want to remove it before saving, click .
        4. If using Percipio stock content, ensure your users can view and access the stock content. They must be in audiences that are associated with the content license pools.
      • Click Add linked content from another source: The Add Linked Content page displays, and you can create a new custom linked content item for your channel. Once created, Percipio returns you to the channel page, with the new custom content added to your channel. See Create Custom Linked Content for more details.
   2. Click Done.
   3. The number of assets in each modality updates in yellow. To see the newly-added content, click the modality tabs.
   4. 
5. Remove content from the channel.

   1. On the channel page, locate the content you want to remove from the channel.

   1. In the Audiences section, click Select audiences.
   2. Search for the audiences you want to access the custom channel.
   3. Click for all audiences you wish to associate to the custom channel.
   4. Click Done. The Create Channel page displays again.
   5. Click Publish. The custom channel publishes to Percipio and is available to the users in your selected audiences
   Note: If you do not select an audience, the custom channel displays to all learners via the All users audience. If a learner is not entitled to content in the custom channel, an error message displays to him instead of the asset. To avoid this, select one or more audiences associated to the license pool in which the channel's content is included.
7. Select one of the available actions:
   • Save and close: Saves your changes for modification or publication later, and places your channel into a Draft status. You can then associate the custom channel to an audience.
   • Publish:  Publishes your channel to Percipio, and places your channel into a Published status. By default, the custom channel is associated to the All Users audience. If you do not want all users in your organization to access the content within your custom channel, associate the custom channel to another audience.
     Note: It may take several minutes for the channel to display in the library and in search results.
