Note:
- If the Competencies status settings option is disabled by your system administrator, existing competencies that have a Draft, In Review, or Archived status will appear with a
Not Ready status.
- Competencies with a Not Ready status are hidden from course participants. They cannot be completed or evaluated even if users attempt associated learning objectives and activities. You can clear a not ready status by going to the competency's Edit Competency page and clicking Save.
- You cannot revert an approved competency back to Not Ready.
