Share and target content

Learners see two kinds of content: shared Stride content that comes ready to use, and content your organization owns. This page explains how to control both and how targeting decides who sees what.

Turn shared Stride content on or off

Shared Stride content is preloaded by Stride and is read-only for your organization. The Shared Stride content card on Content > Overview has three checkboxes, and all three start ticked.

  • A group you untick is hidden from learner catalogs. Tick it again at any time.
  • Your own content and learners' history stay available.
  • Learning that a person already started remains available to finish.
  • The Setup guide has a Shared Stride content step that points to this card.
  1. Open Content and stay on Overview.
  2. In the Shared Stride content card, tick or untick a group: Resources and trainings, Microlearnings, quests and challenges, or Prompt library.
  3. Choose Save content choices and wait for the message Content choices saved.

Tailor a shared item

Shared items are marked Platform and cannot be edited. Duplicate gives you an editable copy that your organization owns. It is the way to change shared content.

  • If your organization already has a copy, Duplicate opens that copy instead of making a second one.
  • Only Client Admins can duplicate, and only approved shared items can be duplicated.
  • Shared quests, trainings, and resources have no Duplicate button.
  1. Open Content, then Challenges, Micro-learnings, or Prompt Library.
  2. Open an approved shared item.
  3. Choose Duplicate. Your organization's Draft copy opens for editing.
  4. Edit the copy and send it to review like any other draft.

Target by role and subrole

Every item you author names who it is for. The choices come from the roles on your Roles page, so add or rename a role there first if you need a new option. Content is not targeted by team, organization unit, or region.

  • Challenges use Competition scope and Governed role fit. Cohort means all roles, Role means exactly one role or subrole, and Role set means one or more role groups.
  • Quests use Tier and Exact role and subrole fit. Universal quests use All roles, role-based quests need at least one exact role or subrole, and specialized quests need an exact subrole or an industry.
  • Micro-learnings and trainings use Explicit role fit, and prompts use Exact role and subrole fit.
  • All roles is always a deliberate choice, never a hidden default.

Where fit hides content and where it only ranks

Fit settings do not work the same way for every type of content. Only challenges are hidden from learners who do not match.

  • Challenges: hidden from people who do not match. A learner sees a challenge only when their role group and subrole fit its role fit and their own level matches the challenge's Level.
  • Quests: only changes recommendations. Every quest stays in the library for everyone. A quest appears in a learner's Recommended lane when its role, subrole, skills, level, and industry match that learner, and a Universal quest is recommended to everyone when its Assignment pool is Assigned.
  • Micro-learnings and trainings: only changes ranking. Items that match a learner's role, subrole, skills, level, and industry are listed first, and the rest stay available.
  • Prompts: does not change what a learner sees. Role and level fit describe the prompt, but learners see every approved prompt that passes the tool and Shared Stride content settings.
  • Resources: not targeted by role. A resource's Audience, User or Admin, decides whether learners see it.
  • Every type: the AI tool setting and the Shared Stride content groups can hide an item.

Level, tool, skill, and industry

These fields sit on the same forms as role fit. Most of them help Stride recommend content, and the AI tool setting can hide it.

  • Level: learners see only the challenges that match their own level. For quests, micro-learnings, and trainings, level only changes recommendations and order.
  • AI tool: content made for one tool is hidden from learners unless your organization has that tool turned on under AI Providers and Tools in Settings. Content for any tool always shows, and Resources are never hidden by tool.
  • Skills and industry fit: these only change which quests, micro-learnings, and trainings are recommended, and they never hide an item. An empty industry fit means no industry limit. Industry fit appears on micro-learnings, trainings, and prompts, and as Controlled industries on Specialized quests.
  • Assignment pool: Assigned quests are ranked ahead of Master library quests, and a Universal quest is recommended only when it is Assigned.
  • Discipline and behavioral fit: these are recorded on the item and do not decide who sees it.

What learners see

A learner sees an item only when these are true for its type.

  • Its current version is Approved and Active.
  • The AI tool it needs is turned on for your organization, or it works with any tool.
  • For shared items, the matching Shared Stride content group is on.
  • For a challenge, the learner's role, subrole, and level fit it, and its Release at time has passed.

Tip: If a learner cannot see an item you expect, check these points in order. A quest, micro-learning, or training that is only not recommended is still in the library.
