Challenge Operations
Open Challenge Ops from the Admin navigation. Challenge Operations is separate from authoring challenge content: author content in Content > Challenges, then use Challenge Ops to run the competition itself: status and participation, the release calendar, the point economy, and content status.
Check status and participation
Overview shows how many challenges are Draft, Upcoming, Active, and Closed, and how many in-window submissions you have. Each challenge has a countdown while its window is open. Open a row for participation by role group, likes, replies, and how many submissions are featured. Weekly team results appear below the list.
Schedule with the Release Timeline
Release Timeline groups your challenges by program week, then Scheduled (no week #) and Drafts (unscheduled). A challenge goes live at its Release at date and time, not on its program week.
Program week groups challenges, and it matters for team winners. A week's team-winner XP is paid only after every challenge in that program week has closed, and only when they all use the same team winner rule and XP. A challenge with a team winner rule and no program week never pays team-winner XP.
You cannot schedule a shared Stride challenge marked Platform. Duplicate it from Content > Challenges first, then schedule your copy.
- Open Challenge Operations and choose Release Timeline.
- Choose Schedule on a challenge.
- Set Release at and Window (days), and a Program week if you want one.
- Save, then confirm the card shows the right date and status.
Note: An Approved challenge cannot be changed in place. Saving a new schedule creates a Draft version that goes through review again.
Point Settings
Point Settings configures the challenge point economy for your organization. The values are live as soon as you save. XP and BUX are paid only while Enable gamification and Points and rewards are on in Settings, under Gamification. A challenge's own Base participation XP and Participation BUX override them for that challenge.
- Participation points: XP and BUX for each of four levels, Tier 1 Beginner to Tier 4 Expert. The defaults are 50, 75, 100, and 125 XP, and 20, 30, 40, and 50 BUX.
- Social XP: XP for a like received (default 10) and for a reply on someone else's submission (default 5). Replies in your own thread earn nothing.
- First-10 multiplier and Featured multiplier: each from 1 to 10. The defaults are 1.5 and 3.
- Featuring cap: the share of a challenge's submissions you can feature, from 0.5 to 100 percent. The default is 5 percent, and at least one submission can always be featured.
- Streak bonus: XP for submitting in consecutive weeks. The default is 25.
- Advanced variance and team winner rules are not here. They are set on each challenge.
Moderate submissions
- Feature gives the author the Featured multiplier. You can feature up to the cap, and Unfeature reverses it.
- Hide removes a submission from the feed with no change to points. A featured submission must be unfeatured first.
- Remove withdraws the submission and takes back the XP and BUX its author earned. It cannot be undone.
- Open Challenge Operations and stay on Overview.
- Open a challenge's row and choose Manage submissions.
- Choose Feature, Unfeature, Hide, or Remove on a submission.

The Status tab lists quests and challenges that are blocked or degraded for learners right now, for example because a linked micro-learning is missing or inactive. Choose Open on a row to go to the item.
