If you do not want your course to be passive, perhaps you have some assignments in play. Example of an assignment could be that you want your learners to upload something like a document or photograph and make some assignments available after a certain date or after you complete a certain task. For example, you might have to mark a lecture as reviewed, before you may access an assignment. Contact your instructor if you do not see an assignment you think you should.

5. Autocomplete Lessons & Topics on Gravity Forms Submission

The Autocomplete Lessons and Topics on Gravity Forms Submission module is a piece of the Pro suite of modules for the Uncanny LearnDash Toolkit. It lets you control whether to stamp an exercise or subject total when a student presents a Gravity Form on that page. 

At the point when this module is empowered and the auto fulfillment choice is checked in Form Settings, you will see Gravity Form’s “submit” button instead of the standard Mark Complete catch on an exercise/subject. In the wake of presenting the structure, the exercise/subject will be consequently set apart as complete.

Gravity Form Setting

When the module is enabled, you will see a new option in Form Settings to enable auto-completion.
