Control what users can create, how published content behaves, and how learners rate it.
To access these settings, in the Thrive menu go to Configure > Content. The screen has three tabs: Creation, Ratings, and Settings.
Creation Tab
Choose what types of content users can create and share. Administrators can always create every content type; these settings apply to all other users.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Add Articles | Allow users to create and publish written articles. |
Add Pathways | Let users create learning pathways using multiple content types. |
Add E-learning Packages | Enable users to upload SCORM or other e-learning packages. |
Add Quizzes | Allow users to build interactive quizzes. |
Add Events | Enable users to create and share events with others. |
Add Assessments | Allow users to create formal assessments to test knowledge. |
Add Mixed Content | Allow users to combine different content types within the Content Creator. |
Ratings Tab
Lets learners leave structured feedback on content, as a single comparable quality signal across your library rather than open-ended comments.
Let learners rate content: When this is on, learners see a Rate this content prompt at the end of any Content Creator item. They give a score from one to five stars and can add a short optional note on what was useful or what would improve it. Learners can come back and change their rating or note at any time.
Ratings are visible only to admins and the content’s author, on the item’s Activity > Ratings tab (star distribution, average, and a chronological list of every rating with the learner’s name, score, date, and note) – never to other learners.
Aggregated results across all content also appear in Insights > Content Dashboard > Ratings (average rating, trends, rating distribution, and which content is highest- or lowest-rated).
Turning the toggle off hides the prompt and stops new ratings being collected, but keeps existing ones – they reappear if you switch it back on.
Ratings aren’t used in search ranking or content recommendations; they’re a feedback signal for admins and authors only.
Expand What a learner sees at the end of the content to preview the rating prompt itself.
Settings Tab
Allow users to link content: Let users connect their content to existing items in the platform.
Show non-endorsed content on Explore?: Display user content in Explore even if it hasn’t been reviewed or endorsed.
Warn users that content is visible to everyone: Show a warning when publishing content that isn’t restricted to specific audiences.
Digital signatures: Allow authors to require a digital signature to complete content, verified with a passkey.
Note:
Signature records are stored securely and may be kept for up to 18 months after your contract ends before deletion.
