Content unlock and completion settings

Control access with purpose

Unlock rules answer “Can I open this yet?” so learners follow a designed path instead of skipping ahead.

linear_scale

Sequential unlock

Open the next lesson after the previous one is complete. Ideal for coaching programs and academic courses that depend on foundational topics first.

schedule

Time-based release

Reveal content days after enrollment when you want paced delivery. Support drip-style programs without manual weekly publishing.

military_tech

Performance gates

Require watch progress or a passing score before the next item unlocks. Keep standards high while learners still see a clear reason for each gate.

verified

Manual confirm when needed

Allow instructor-led confirmation for sensitive steps. Blend automation with human judgment where your pedagogy requires it.

Define what “done” means

Completion rules are separate from unlock—so opening a lesson is not the same as finishing it.

done_all

Meaningful completion

Count progress only when criteria are met—watching, submitting, or confirming. Certificates and dashboards stay trustworthy for institutions and parents.

tune

Per-item flexibility

Override rules on specific lessons when one topic needs a different standard. Stay flexible without abandoning structure for the whole course.

route

Paths learners understand

Locked and unlocked states communicate progress clearly. Learners spend less time asking support why something is unavailable.
