Skilljar: Using the Same Course Across Multiple Catalog Pages ; How Do You Handle Course Exit Navigation?

Hi everyone! I'm wondering how others handle navigation when using the same course across multiple catalog pages. We have different catalog pages based on the customer's learning experience, but several core courses appear in more than one place.

Our challenge is the Exit navigation. We currently have an Exit image in the summary lesson that links learners back to a specific catalog page. Ideally, we'd like learners to return to whichever catalog page they came from rather than directing everyone to the same page.

Has anyone found a good way to handle this, or do you typically direct everyone to a general landing page instead?

    Hey ​@Kimberly Wittrock !


    This is a common challenge when managing courses that appear across multiple catalog pages. Unfortunately, Skilljar doesn't currently offer a native way to dynamically redirect learners back to the specific catalog page they came from and the Exit navigation in a course is a static link, so it will always point to the same destination regardless of where the learner originated.
     

    The most common workaround we see customers use is to direct all learners to a general landing page or homepage as the Exit destination. This avoids the confusion of sending learners to the "wrong" catalog page and provides a neutral, consistent experience regardless of which catalog they started from.

    If you'd like to implement this via a code snippet in your Theme settings, you can set a global Exit redirect to your homepage or a central catalog page this way, learners always have a sensible place to land after completing a course, even when that course lives in multiple catalogs.
     

    While there isn't a clean out-of-the-box solution for context-aware Exit navigation today, this is a great piece of feedback to share! If dynamic Exit navigation based on referral source is something you'd like to see in a future release, I'd encourage you to submit this as a product idea through our Ideas portal so our Product team can consider it.
     

    Thanks for sharing your use case and hopefully other community members can chime in if they've found a creative workaround!

    Thank you! Yes, we already use the code snippet. However, it’s not an ideal user experience to send learners back to the home page rather than the specific catalog page they started from. This requires them to navigate through multiple pages again just to continue to the next course in the series. I will submit a product idea.

    Totally understood!

    Feel free to @ mention me on the product idea and I can follow up with our product management team.
