We’ve just introduced the ability to invite new and existing learners to a catalog, with the addition of a new access setting that allows only invited learners access to the catalog.

When inviting a learner to a catalog by email, they will receive an email that includes the workspace name, the name of the catalog, and a button that links to the catalog . On clicking the link, they’ll be sent directly to the catalog where they can browse, and self-enroll into the courses they choose.

Access settings

If you’ve been hesitant to share enrollment links due to the lack of access restrictions, you’ll be pleased to know that catalogs solve that problem with a new access setting that restricts access to ‘Only invited learners’.  Now you can share courses for self-enrollment with the confidence that only the learners you choose can access them.

To restrict access to only invited learners, select the ‘Only invited learners’ option from the dropdown menu under access settings.

Customizing the invitation email

If you’re on our Premium plan, you’ll be able to customize the invitation email sent to learners invited to a catalog.

From the navigation sidebar, select the setting menu, and click ‘Customize’. Navigate to the ‘Enrollment emails’ tab, then select the ‘Catalog invitation’ option.
