Section starts and ends

Shared by iQualify • April 09, 2025

We’ve added new panels to the first and last pages of a section.

Our hope is that these section start and end panels help to:

  • Let learners know they’re starting a new section (and what they’re in for).
  • Make the transition from one section to another clearer.
  • Show learners how much of that section they’ve managed to complete (before they move on).
