Cohort visibility will determine who can see and enroll in your Paths and will affect how you share or link to a Path.
Change who has access to a Cohort
If you don't have a Cohort created for your Path yet, add a Cohort.
Open your Cohort Path and select the more actions (...) at the top of the Path directly under the name of the Path. This will open a menu with additional options.
Select "Configure cohort" from the menu to open the cohort settings.
With the cohort settings open, you’ll see three options.
If you select Invite Only, this Cohort will not appear in your Library for visitors or learners. The only way for a learner to join this Cohort is if you or another staff members adds or invites someone to the cohort. The "About" page and Path "Preview" page will not be viewable until after registration.
If you select Members, this Cohort will appear in the Library for any members who are signed into your school (teachers, moderators, learners), and anyone can self-enroll as a learner. It will not be visible to the public. You can invite people to create an account in order to see and self-enroll in the Cohort.
If you select Public, this Cohort will appear in your Library for anyone who visits your Learning Space; they will not need to sign in to preview the Path. Anyone can self-enroll as a learner.
In each case, learners will need to create an account and enroll in the Cohort to view step content (unless you make the step content available for public preview). If you have a price set on the Cohort, they will be required to pay or apply a discount code to access.
Always visible
From the same drop down menu above, open Update About page, and scroll down until you see the Always show in Library toggle. Switch this on if you have Member-created groups and you want to make these your only public offering. This will force the Path to always be public, even without a regular public cohort.
Visibility and accessibility of the Library
Your Library is the default landing page and sales page in your Learning Space.
Your Learning Space URL will look something like this: https://paths.pathwright.com
Until you publish your first public Cohort, your Learning Space URL will bring people to a sign-in screen, like this: https://paths.pathwright.com/auth/sign-in
After publishing a public Cohort, your Learning Space URL will bring people directly to your Library: https://paths.pathwright.com/library
How to link to your Paths
If your Cohort Path is private, the only link to your Path that will work for anyone who isn't enrolled yet is an invite link to that Cohort.
If your Cohort Path is members-only, the only link that will work for non-members not yet enrolled in the Cohort is an invite to that Cohort or an invite to join your Learning Space.
If your Cohort Path is public, you can direct anyone to your Library or "About" page to self-enroll, for example:
Sign out, go to your Library page or course "About" page and copy the URL from your browser. This is your shareable link.
Customized links
It's now possible to create your own customized links that will redirect automatically to the default Path URL. The number at the end of the Path name is the Path ID. You can now use whatever slug you’d like in your invite link, as long as you include the Path ID number.
Example: the full URL for https://paths.pathwright.com/library/intro-to-pathwright-17714/about/ can be shortened to https://paths.pathwright.com/library/intro-17714/about/ or https://paths.pathwright.com/library/itp-17714/about/. These shortened URLs will redirect to https://paths.pathwright.com/library/intro-to-pathwright-17714/about/.
