Using the Custom Learning Site
The Custom Learning team have identified a glitch that was causing the problem I was experiencing. They're going to resolve it in future releases but in the meantime, they've posted a work around on the Git Hub site - https://github.com/pnp/custom-learning-office-365/issues/26#issuecomment-481845145
The steps to resolve this are:
- Select a Technology for your custom playlist, even though it doesn't necessarily have one.
- After adding the playlist to the custom sub category, refresh the administration page which will reset the cache.
Your sub category and playlist will now show up.
Thanks juliemturner and Peter Krebs for your help :-)
cnichols0809 I think it has the potential to deliver most of what I'm after which is a trimmed down version of the Office Support centre. I don't have the resource to recreate guidance so tapping in to the Microsoft library is great. We're not using all the tools or features so to be able to customise the lists to fit our reality is also good.
The one missing element is to be able to successfully manage our own lists!! (still having issues with that!) I'd also like the look and feel to be a little nicer in terms of the playlist navigation but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
I'd be interested to hear what additional content you were hoping for as it seams to have most of the content on the Office Support portal as far as I can see.
philmaynard_wap Hey Phil, I'm working from the Microsoft side on the Custom Learning content and experience. We're planning a significant content update within the next few months, and then content updates every month. We're also looking to improve the UX/Navigation in upcoming releases. We're open to any suggestions for improvement in the UX or any content you'd like to see added.
Hi Peter - I've just started using this and from a UX point of view the Playlist isn't very obvious (arrows left or right) and could easily be overlooked by people visiting the page, who will only then be able to consume page 1 of the playlist - can that be improved on?
KathrynO Thank you for the feedback. We are looking at improving the navigation experience in future releases - including making the forward/back arrows more prominent. Thank you for the feedback.
Peter Krebs That sounds great! What's the best way to provide feedback? Do you have a Uservoice for the service yet?

That sound great. One of the important thing that I see is to keep the end users motivated to learn and follow the training course, so it will definitely add value if we have below features within the custom learning solution
- A mechanism to assign batch. A sort of achievement so that users are motivated
- A user must be able to keep track of their learning course. When they leave the training session, they must be able to start learning from the place where they left
- A user must be able to select his/her own learning course by selected one of multiple playlists and making it more personalized as per his/her role within an organisation
