Visibility before an activity is sent: Hidden or locked

In this article, we clarify how an activity that has not yet been sent or published looks in Knowly for your participants.


In short

  • If you choose Display a locked activity, participants will see the activity's name in the learning journey, but they won't be able to open it until the scheduled date for sending or publishing.
  • If you choose Hide activity, participants won't see the activity in the learning journey at all until it has been sent or published.

Here's how it looks
