As an author, your dashboard can get very full, making it hard to find the courses and content you're looking for.

That's where filters come in handy!

Drop down filter

The drop down filter lets you narrow down your search to show all the course content you are currently an author on, or just the content that you are currently editing (under construction).

You'll find the text filter below the drop down filter. Simply type in some key letters or words and the course content with a match will display. In our image below we are searching for all content with the word ‘Testing’ in it.

What does our text filter look for?

This filter can find:

  • The course content title (even if it's very, very long).

  • A specific Root content id, Draft id, Content id or Offering id (they often look something like this: -LvqY2QVEIJPD1UO_dtf). For more information see Understanding content Ids.
