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 throu...
- 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,

I will give this a try! I am the middle of creating an intranet for my organization. I just found out about learning pathways and thought it would be a great resource for training employees!
What kind of content do you have for training employees?
Thank you for your help!
Hi SashaP Learning Pathways is great and you can anything to it, but it might be better to keep it focused on Microsoft Content. If you have other non-Microsoft training content you want to share, you could add it, but in the experience of clients we've worked with it usually helps to keep them separate.
The types of things we ADD to learning pathways are around the additional and more organisation focused knowledge such as specific governance related information - for example how the organisation enables or not staff using un-managed devices, what the role of a group owner is, how Microsoft 365 works with previous versions of Office that may be out in the user community etc.. All of this is specific to the organisation.
We also use it to build out playlists for more specific personas and scenarios, that way we can more directly target different groups of users on a need to know basis.
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 🙂
