The LearnDash Progress Reset add-on allows admins to reset student progress on any given LearnDash course. Progress can be reset for all students or specific users enrolled in selected courses, quizzes, and assignments. 

This add-on can not only reset course completion but also reset users’ partial progress. Additionally, it removes a quiz’s related assignment data. Resets will only affect users with progress on a course while ignoring users whose progress is zero.

Installation:

• Install and activate the LearnDash plugin.
• Install and activate the LearnDash Progress Reset Add-on.
• A new “Progress Reset” menu will be added to the LearnDash menu.

License Settings:

The license key can be configured from the License Settings tab, found on the main Progress Reset page. License keys will be sent to your email address when you purchase the add-on.

Insert your license key in the field and then click on Activate.

Bulk Options:

Imagine you have a large number of users, let’s say 1000, and you want to reset the progress of only a subset of these users, perhaps 800 of them. Doing this individually for each user can be a time-consuming and impractical task. To streamline this process, we’ve introduced a Bulk feature within our add-on. 

This way you can quickly export a user list, modify it to include only the users you want to reset progress for and upload it to your site. Progress will be reset for a precise set of students, all with the click of a button.

Export (CSV):

For efficient management of your student data, our Export (CSV) feature enables you to easily export user, course, or group lists. Simply select your preferred category from the drop-down menu and click “Export”.

Import (CSV):

To streamline progress reset for a large number of students, our Import (CSV) feature allows you to reset progress for multiple users at once. Once you have expeorted your user list, you can simply edit the csv file and upload the data back to the site. Choose the data type included in the file (users, courses, or groups) from the drop-down, then click “Choose File” to upload your list and initiate the process.

Reset Options:

From this field, select which LearnDash content types (courses, quizzes, or assignments) you want progress to be reset for. You can enable the “Select All options” toggle to reset progress for all the content types.

Unenroll Users:

You can unroll users from selected course(s) once progress has been reset by enabling the “Unroll User(s)” option.

Schedule Progress Reset Task:

If you want to schedule the progress reset for a later time, you can do so by enabling the “Schedule Progress Reset Task” option.  Then set a name for the reset task, set a  time, and determine how often the reset should repeat. Finally, click on the “Schedule Reset Progress” button.

Before resetting user progress, you can generate a report of course data by clicking on the “Dry Run Report” button. This report will be generated as an excel sheet.

Finally, click on the “Reset Progress” button. A warning pop-up will appear. To make progress reset effectively, click on “OK.”

Yearly Schedule:

You can also schedule progress reset for users after a specific number of years. The yearly progress reset for the user will trigger once they completed their course. To activate the Yearly Schedule;

1. Navigate to the settings of the Course, for which you want to enable the yearly schedule.
2. Enable the ‘Course Complete Scheduler” toggle.
3. Add the number of years after which you want to reset the user progress, upon course completion.

Manage Schedules:

This tab displays all of the scheduled progress resets. Here you can edit and delete the scheduled tasks for progress reset if required. Other than schedule, you can execute the tasks by hovering over the task name and clicking on “Execute Now”.
