Add an assessment step to a path

Assessment steps are designed to evaluate a learner’s understanding of specific topics.

In a linear path, learners cannot resume the path until the assessment has been completed. After it has been completed, Learners can resume their path uninterrupted, regardless of the assessment results.

In a non-linear path, learners can play through the path in the order that they want. The assessment step will be reached once the step preceding it has been completed by the learner.
