What is Tagging Courses?

Tagging Courses lets anyone composing a post or comment in Communities quickly reference an existing course by typing “#” and selecting it from a searchable picker. The tag renders as a clickable label with a course icon, allowing readers to navigate to the course for more details or enrollment, depending on the course’s configuration.

Key Benefits of Tagging Courses

Understanding the practical advantages helps teams decide when to use course tags and how they improve discovery, navigation, and engagement inside discussions.

  • In‑context discovery: Surface relevant courses at the exact point of conversation.

  • Faster navigation: Clicking a course tag takes members straight to the course page.

  • Cleaner posts: Replace long URLs with compact, readable course tags.

  • Guided next steps: Recommend the right lesson or program without leaving the thread.

  • Consistent UX: Use the same “#” pattern you already know for Channels and Events.

How to Tag Courses: Posts & Comments

Course tags can be added in two places—the post editor or a reply—so you can guide learners at the exact moment questions arise or recommendations are made. Mastering both entry points keeps discovery consistent across new threads and ongoing conversations.

Know what readers can expect after clicking a course tag so you can set the right expectations for access and next steps.

  • Clicking a tagged course navigates the user to the corresponding course page.

  • What a member sees after clicking depends on how the course is configured (e.g., free, paid, or restricted).

  • Members with access can view the course details or curriculum; others may be prompted to obtain access per your course settings.
