Short answers to common Skillhabit questions—with links to the full how-tos.

What This FAQ Is For

Quick answers to questions support and admins hear often. Each answer stays short and points to the how-to that owns the full detail—so product truth lives in one place.

Who This Is For

Administrators, managers, and authors troubleshooting access, publishing, results, roles, or sign-in. Learners can use the visibility answers when something is missing from Learn.


Visibility & Learn

Is Skillhabit an LMS?

Skillhabit is a learning and certification platform for regulated and quality-driven organizations—agile learning with compliance-grade control. It includes full LMS capabilities (content, libraries, progress, groups, SSO), so if you searched for an LMS, you are in the right place. The product story centers on mandatory tracks, certification (including external audiences), renewal, and evidence of completion. Overview: What Is Skillhabit?.

Why can’t a user see a course they were enrolled in?

Usually visibility, not enrollment alone. In Create, confirm the person’s group or individual visibility. Learn only lists standalone items they are allowed to see. Content taken only inside a program may never appear as its own library row—they open it from the program. Certificate recertification can also unlock renewal content without a standalone Learn tile. Full rules: Visibility in Learn.

Someone sees Buy License—do they need a license, or visibility?

Buy License can mean more than one thing. If they lack visibility and the item is an Academy product, the dialog often still offers Buy License (opens the Academy product page). If they already have visibility but the paid product uses licenses, License required means they need a valid content license to start. Visibility and licenses answer different questions—you normally need both for license-gated paid products. See Visibility in Learn and Content Licenses.

How do I reset a user’s progress on a course?

Depends what you need to clear:

  • One person, completed result / certificate — On their profile in Users & Groups, delete the certificate for that course so they can take it again. See Users and Profiles.
  • One person, attempt limit exhausted — Reset attempts under Content Attempts on the same profile.
  • Everyone after a publish — When you publish updates, use Advanced options → Force reset all previously completed results (works for a patch or a new revision). See Publishing Updates.

Create & Publishing

What’s the difference between a patch and a new revision?

A patch keeps the same revision number and applies non-structural fixes in place—learners mid-course usually keep their place after refresh. A new revision increases the revision number (required when structure changed, or when you turn Increment revision number on). Force-reset of completed results is a separate advanced option either way. Details: Publishing Updates.


Analyze

Why aren’t my survey results showing in Analyze?

For anonymous surveys, Skillhabit hides results until at least three users have responded—so individuals can’t be identified. Named (non-anonymous) surveys show earlier. Browse survey text under Content statisticsQuestion statistics. See Content Statistics and Building Blocks (survey anonymity can’t be turned off once enabled).


Roles

What’s the difference between a Manager and a Collaborator?

RoleScopeTypical work
ManagerOne or more groupsSee members in those groups; optionally manage manual membership, approve Academy requests, and view those users’ results in Analyze (with the right permissions)
CollaboratorA specific content item in CreateEdit and preview that course, program, meetup, or SCORM package; with Analyze access, follow results for content they collaborate on

Managers are set in Users & Groups; collaborators are added per item in Create. Guides: Managers · Collaborator Access.


Identity & Email

What’s the difference between SSO and user provisioning?

They solve different problems. Provisioning answers who exists in Skillhabit (create, update, archive—often with groups) from Entra, SCIM, or the External API. SSO / authentication answers how someone signs in (Login code, Magic Links, Microsoft, OpenID Connect, API login links). You often need both. Start here: External Identity Providers.

How do I create a user who should not receive emails?

Give them a unique address on @noemail.skillhabit.com. Skillhabit never sends email to that domain. Use it for External API (or similar) accounts that sign in another way. Entra sync can assign this domain when the directory has no valid email. Those users cannot use Login code or Magic Links—plan Microsoft, OpenID Connect, or an API login link. See Bulk Actions and Email and SSO and Email Addresses.

What if SSO users have no mail attribute?

Skillhabit still needs an email-shaped identifier. Entra sync and Microsoft / OpenID Connect sign-in fall back through other fields (for example userPrincipalName, preferred_username, guest UPN conversion). OpenID Connect needs at least one of email, preferred_username, or upn. If nothing usable exists on sync, Skillhabit may store @noemail.skillhabit.com. Full order of resolution: SSO and Email Addresses.

Emails never arrive / land in spam—what should IT allowlist?

Default From is {workspace-id}@skillhabit.com (shown in email preview). Ask IT to allowlist that address or @skillhabit.com by domain—not by a fixed IP list. If you use a custom Email Domain, allowlist that too. Full IT checklist: Allowlist Skillhabit Email.
