Managing Takeaway Status

Status Indicators:
The platform uses status indicators to show whether takeaways are activated or deactivated. This visual cue helps instructors quickly assess the current state of their takeaways.

Validation and Updates:
If a training is already published, any update to the takeaways requires validation to ensure that learners receive the most up-to-date information. You will be alerted to this requirement by a message and a change in the colour of the takeaway icon . This process ensures that all learners have access to consistent and accurate content.
