# Knowledge

> Capture the videos, articles and quizzes your checkpoints draw on, keep them versioned, and group them into courses.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Knowledge is coming soon. It isn't in your account yet. This page describes how it will work, and the details may change before it's released.

Knowledge holds what your organization knows about doing the work: short videos, articles and quizzes. It's part of the [Certify](https://guide.exiqtive.com/concepts/certify.md) step. In Certify, an Architect first **captures knowledge**, then turns it into [checkpoints](https://guide.exiqtive.com/checkpoints/overview.md) that Coaches inspect against. Knowledge is where that captured knowledge lives, so you can keep it current and reuse it.

## Lessons

A **lesson** is one video or one article. Each lesson has its own code, such as **L-12**.

* **Quiz:** a lesson usually comes with a quiz that checks the employee understood it. The **Requires quiz** switch is on by default. Turn it off for a lesson that doesn't need one.
* **Status:** a lesson is **Draft**, **Active**, **Retired** or **Archived**, like the objects in [Organization](https://guide.exiqtive.com/organization/understanding-your-organization.md).

## Lesson versions

When the way the work is done changes, you publish a new version of the lesson, such as **L-12 v3**. A new version never changes anything on its own:

* Checkpoints that use the lesson keep the version they were built on and show that an update is available.
* Accepting the update creates a new version of the checkpoint.
* Quiz results and badges stay tied to the version the employee actually took.

## Lessons and checkpoints

A checkpoint uses at most one lesson. When you create a checkpoint with a video or an article, exIQtive.com creates its lesson for you. You can also use an existing lesson.

The checkpoint decides what it takes to pass:

| To pass requires | What happens |
| - | - |
| **Quiz only** | The employee passes the lesson's quiz. |
| **Quiz and Inspection** | The employee passes the quiz, then a Coach inspects them. |
| **Inspection only** | A Coach inspects the employee. The lesson needs no quiz. |

The inspection protocol belongs to the checkpoint. See [Inspecting a responsibility](https://guide.exiqtive.com/coaching/inspecting-a-responsibility.md).

## Courses

A **course** is an ordered set of lessons, with its own code, such as **C-4**.

1. An administrator assigns a course to one or more employees, with an optional deadline.
2. Each employee gets a **Complete course** task in **Your Stuff → Your Tasks**, with a progress bar.
3. The task completes on its own when the employee completes every lesson in the course. Nobody can mark it done by hand.

An administrator can cancel the task or change its deadline.

## Lesson progress

Every lesson an employee opens has a progress state:

| State | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Seen** | The employee watched the video or read the article. |
| **Quiz seen** | The employee opened the quiz but hasn't finished it. |
| **Quiz passed** | The employee passed the quiz. |
| **Quiz failed** | The employee didn't pass and can try again. |

A lesson with no quiz counts as completed once it's seen. The employee's file shows a **Knowledge** tab with every lesson they've started or completed. Administrators can reset a quiz, which keeps the history and asks the employee to take the quiz again.

## Without Knowledge

If your account doesn't have Knowledge:

* Checklists use only checkpoints that don't need a lesson (**Criteria only**).
* Administrators see the **Knowledge** menu item, which explains the module. Employees don't see it.
