Microsoft 365 learning pathways
Hi Chaps. I've provisioned Microsoft Learning Pathways in my demo tenant but I don't appear to have any content! the tiles are there, but there is nothing on the pages they direct too. I've run through the provisioning info in Microsoft Docs and don't appear to have missed any steps - but clearly there's something wrong.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could offer any insight into what may have happened and how I can rectify the site.
- LindaPh, that sounds like an incomplete install. I'm not sure if you can try running the solution again from the SharePoint PnP page and pointing out at the same site collection?

Hi Linda,
I am having the same problem, linking their 'playlists' to an actual page on the sites.
I am unable to find and link the content to the pages, they are not automatically filled with content.
And also with the learning pathways app itself. I add it to a site, and when I try to click a tile, the whole app disappears.
Have you figured out how to get actual content on the site?
I'd love to hear from you on how you did this!
Here are some screenshots
SashaP Hello, this web app is tricky, so bear with me. You will need to edit your web part (what is showing up on your page now (Get Started/Scenarios)). A gear will appear in the upper right hand corner of the web part, click to open. This takes you to your Category site on the background. You will see the Get Started, Scenarios, First Days categories. You can create your own categories by clicking on the + or making some of those categories invisible by clicking on the eye. The original categories already contain playlists (content) to get you started. Any categories you create, you'll need to add playlists/content. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/customlearning/custom_hideshowplaylists
Once you get your categories and playlists built out, you will be able to pick and choose what the user sees on each page - right down to individual playlist, sub-category, category. Explore the Edit Web Part and it's filtering capabilities.
And, before I let you go, the icons for each playlist are not easy. You'll need to get those from GitHub. My best find is: https://github.com/pnp/custom-learning-office-365/tree/master/docs/v2/images/playlists
I hope you find this helpful,
Lisa
Hi SashaP It does work eventually, but what you will need to do is re-provision the entire thing. So I went back to the beginning and deleted the app store. I then re did the app store and re did learning pathways, It took a couple of hours for the app store to make learning pathways avaiable for provisioning, but it worked OK the second time I tried it.
I've recently deleted the demo tenancy I had used originally and started again as well and this time everything worked as expected. It may also be a timing thing. I find if I want to do anything, as I'm based in the UK I do it in the morning before the US starts work 🙂
Hi LindaPh. Can you confirm that the Learning Pathways web part is available to you? Edit the home page of the site collection you chose to use.
Do you see any content in the web part? Do you have options to configure the web part?
The demo pages may not have loaded properly, but if the web part is functioning, you'll be able to create pages.
Hi darrellaas and thanks for your response, I've been away on leave so apologies for the delay.
I do have it set up and this is what I see:
But, when I click on any of these sections I get to the page, but the page is empty for example:
My understanding, which may be incorrect, was that these pages are populated automatically with content ...
I checked the available webparts but can't see anything that is relevant beyond the usual items. And I definitely don't see the same edit screen you have on your third image!
Thanks
Linda
