Channels overview
Channels (opens in new tab) are a way to organize content similar to a playlist. All Pluralsight Skills users can create a channel and add content to it. Learners can monitor their progress as they complete channel sections, and plan admins and team managers can tap into powerful channels analytics.
Leaders can add members to channels to guide their learning journey. For information about using channels with your team plan, see Leveraging channels as a leader.
Learning with channels
Channels help you organize the content you want to learn. Whereas bookmarks help you save individual pieces of content, channels allow you to collect paths, courses, labs, Skill IQ assessments, and external content all in one place. For example, you could create a channel around a topic, such as understanding cloud security, or you could create a channel around a goal, like preparing for a PMP exam.
Finding your channels
You can set a channel's privacy level to Personal or Company. Personal channels are only visible to you and others with whom you share a link—or who share the link with you. Company channels, on the other hand, are visible to anyone within your team plan.
The channels page (opens in new tab) displays channels that are visible to you and organizes them into the following types of channels:
- My channels are the channels you’ve joined. These are further filtered by Created by me, Joined, and Invited, if applicable. Click any of these sub-filters to view the respective channels.
- My groups are the personal channel groups you've set up to organize your channels. These channel groups are only visible to you. Click the + plus icon to add a new channel group.
- Archive includes channels you've removed from your active list, without permanently deleting them.
- Company channels are the channels that have been made visible on a team plan you're part of, whether or not you’ve joined them. To join a company channel, hover over the desired channel, click the ••• options menu, then click Join.
On team plans, company priorities are set up by your organization by either plan admins or team managers. See Priorities for learners for more information.
Syncing channel completion
Your channel completion progress updates as you watch courses within the channel. Sometimes your channel progress may not sync if you found and viewed a course outside of your channel, such as in Related Courses or the search function. To sync your channel progress, open the channel in question and click the previously viewed course. If a path has been added to a channel, you’ll need to open the course within the path itself.
Pluralsight updates content to ensure relevance and freshness. Courses with a new version available have a New Course Available tag. If a channel owner decides to update to the newest version of the course, any learners on the channel will see a drop in their completion progress and need to watch the new version of the course to regain their progress.
