Interacting with Content

Thrive offers several interactive tools allowing users to engage with learning content. These features make it easy to track, share, and collaborate on materials, fostering a more dynamic learning environment.

Content Interaction Options

Here is a breakdown of the ways you can interact with any piece of content in Thrive:

Like Content

Show your appreciation or acknowledgment of a piece of content by clicking Likes (heart icon). This helps signal valuable content to other users.

Manage Access and Sharing

Once published, you can control visibility and distribution directly from the content toolbar using the eye and paper plane icons.

Visibility and Permissions

Click the eye icon to manage who can see the item.

Access levels: Switch between Limited Access for specific groups or Public access for everyone.

• Recommendations: Add the item to a user’s recommended content list.

• Sharing controls: Select whether everyone can re-share the content or if sharing is restricted to admins and authors.

Sharing and Notifications

Click the paper plane icon to send the content to others.

• Send and notify: Search for users or audiences in the search bar to notify them of the content. Sharing a limited access item automatically grants access to the recipient.

• Quick links: Click Copy link to content to copy a direct link to the content for external use.

Pin Content

Use the PIN icon to save content to your personal Pinned items section. Pinned items serve as a quick-access bookmark for important or frequently used resources.

To view your pinned items, click the pin icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon.

Download Content

If the content creator has made the resource available to download, you will see a DOWNLOAD icon. Click it to save the content directly to your device.

Flag Content

If you encounter an issue or believe the content needs attention, click the FLAG icon.

Users typically flag content for reasons such as:

• Reporting a technical issue (such as a broken link)

• Notifying administrators of Incorrect information

• Suggesting the content needs further review

Note:

For more information, see How to flag a piece of content.

Comment on Content

Engage in discussions or ask questions directly related to the content:

• Click Add a comment to start a discussion.

• Tag other users in your comment by typing @ followed by their name. This will automatically notify them of the conversation.

  

Rate Content

When Content Rating is enabled, learners see a Rate this content prompt at the end of any Content Creator item.

They choose a score from one to five stars. Learners can also add a short optional note on what made the content useful or what would improve it. Select Save note to submit, or Not now to skip the note and save the star rating only.

Learners can return to any content item to update their rating or note at any time.

Viewing Ratings

Admins and content authors can view ratings on any content item's Activity tab.

1. Open the content item.

2. Select the Activity tab, then select Ratings.

The Ratings view shows:

• A star distribution chart

• Average rating and total ratings count

• A chronological list of every rating, including the learner's name, star score, date, and note (where one was left)

Filter the list by star rating or by With a note to focus on specific feedback.

Note:

Ratings and notes are only visible to admins and the content's author – never to other learners

Things to Know

• Turning the toggle off hides the rating prompt and stops collecting new ratings, but doesn't delete existing ones. Ratings reappear if the feature is switched back on.

• Ratings aren't used in search ranking or content recommendations – they're a feedback signal for admins and authors only.
