Access to view the course after clicking depends on the course’s configuration. **Q: Which courses appear in the “#” picker?** Courses available to the member based on visibility and access settings. Naming clarity and search terms affect what’s easy to find. **Q: Can I tag more than one course in a single post/comment?** Yes. Insert as many course tags as needed to guide members through a learning path. **Q: What happens if a member doesn’t have access to the tagged course?** They’ll be guided by your access model (e.g., purchase required or request access). The exact experience depends on your course setup. **Q: Does this work on mobile?** Tagging is supported wherever the Communities post/comment editor supports the “#” picker.  --- ## **Related Articles** - ## [Communities – Tagging Channels and Events in Posts/Comments](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/memberships-and-communities/communities/communities-tagging-channels-and-events-in-posts-comments)  - [Learning Tab (Courses)](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/memberships-and-communities/communities/learning-tab-courses)  - [Paid Courses inside Communities](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/memberships-and-communities/communities/paid-courses-inside-communities) - [Communities: Private Channel‑Based Course Access](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/memberships-and-communities/communities/communities-private-channel-based-course-access) - [How to Setup, Customize, and Manage Your Communities](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/memberships-and-communities/communities/how-to-setup-customize-and-manage-your-communities) --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care.
