# Content (Configure)

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.
