Other content types

Challenges

Use the current weekly challenge authoring path in Creator. The older challenge type has been removed; follow the fields and review state shown by the product.

• Once approved, a challenge goes live at the Release at date and time a Client Admin sets, not the moment it is approved.
• The reward, scoring, and scheduling fields in the Admin Only block are turned off for you. A Client Admin sets them.

1. Open the Creator dashboard.
2. Choose New challenge and complete the required fields: a Title, a linked micro-learning, and the Applied task.
3. Save the item as a draft while it is still being shaped.

Training

Use the Creator training path for structured Training and Micro-learning content. A draft is not learner-visible until the governed review and activation state are complete.

• A micro-learning needs a native lesson, a separate worked example, and one or two practice tasks.
• A training needs a short plain-language summary and an official vendor, source, and content link.

1. Open the Creator dashboard.
2. Choose New training and complete the required fields.
3. Save the item as a draft while it is still being shaped.

Resources

Use Resources when you are authoring supporting material or a source link for your organization.

• Editing an Approved resource hides it from learners until a Client Admin approves your changes.
• Disabling, restoring, and re-checking links stay with Client Admins.

1. Open Resources from the Creator area.
2. Enter the source and audience details shown by the product.
3. Save the resource. It shows as Pending until a Client Admin approves it.

Prompts

Authoring Prompts are prompts you copy into your own AI tools while you write Stride content. They are a shared authoring library for your organization. Authorized Creators and Client Admins in your organization can read, edit, and delete these prompts, including prompts another author saved. It is separate from the governed learner Prompt Library and saves directly without that review path.

Platform prompts are also available to read; only a Platform Superuser can change those entries. Keep material that should remain private to you out of this shared library.

1. Open Authoring Prompts from the Creator dashboard, or Prompt Library in the Creator sidebar.
2. Save a prompt for your organization's authoring work and confirm it appears in the shared library.
3. Use Prompt Library lifecycle when the prompt is intended for learners; do not treat an authoring prompt as a learner-visible approved version.

Submit, revise, and recover

Challenges and Training follow the same pattern as Quests. Saving creates a Draft, you send it to review, and a Client Admin approves it or sends it back. A requested change returns the item to you; it does not silently publish the previous draft. Resources follow their own Pending flow, described above. Authoring Prompts save directly to the shared authoring library and have no Submitted for review state; use the Prompts section above for that separate flow.

• To ask for an item to be archived, use the archive button beside it on your dashboard and give a reason. A Client Admin decides, and the item stays live until then.

1. Open the item from its content-kind card and finish the required fields.
2. Save it. It appears under Drafts on your dashboard.
3. Choose Submit for review on the item's card in your dashboard, or in its details on its catalog page. The dashboard moves it to Submitted for review.
4. If the item moves to Changes requested, read the feedback, edit the item, and choose Submit for review again.
5. If the Creator dashboard source fails, choose Retry and confirm the state after it reloads; do not create a duplicate item while the source is uncertain.

Submit content in bulk

Content & Data (in the Creator area) also lets you download the same governed workbook template administrators use, covering Challenges, Quests, Micro-learnings, Trainings, and Prompts. Fill it in and upload it, then follow its status in My Submissions.

• My Submissions shows each workbook's status: Staged, Validating, Pending review, Approved, Imported, Rejected, or Failed.
• A workbook submission never publishes content directly from your own upload.
• A workbook can have up to 4,500 rows and be at most 4 MB.

1. Download the upload template from Content & Data.
2. Fill in the workbook with the content you want to submit.
3. Choose Preview workbook to check it. Nothing is saved yet.
4. Choose Submit for approval.
5. Open My Submissions to follow its status.

Synthetic Data

Use the Synthetic Data library, in Content & Data, to support content authoring. New folders and files stay hidden from learners until a Client Admin approves them.

• If a Client Admin requests changes, revise your data and choose Resubmit.
• You cannot delete files or change their visibility. A Client Admin does that.
• To attach a folder to your own draft challenge or quest, save the draft and use its Resources section.

1. Open Content & Data from the Creator area.
2. Upload a file or create a folder with a clear title and purpose.
3. Check the Awaiting admin approval badge and wait for the required review.
4. If the source is unavailable, choose Retry and confirm the upload state before trying again.
