To share learning or any other form of information, in one tidy form of content, you can do the following to create your Nuggets.
On the Web App
You can select the (+) icon, as a shortcut from your navigation panel, or select the Nugget option from the Studio.
In the Nugget editor, you can start to edit the following:
Header image and Nugget Title - this will be visible at the top of the Nugget, once published. Clicking the pencil icon will allow you to input a title: maximum of 95 characters.
Your header's dimension should be set to: 1040 x 260 pixels or 440 x 360 (or a ratio of 1:4).
Add your Content (Text, Images, Videos, Audio, Embed Code, Files, and Existing Content).

Once you've uploaded all of the desired content types (this can be just one type or a mixture all in one Nugget), then select Save & Continue or Settings, to open the pop-up.
From here you can fill out the following...
Short Description - a brief overview of the content, visible on the content card.
Channels - one or multiple Channels assigned to the Nugget.
Nugget Duration - the time it should take Users to complete the content (in hours and/or minutes).
Language - the language(s) the Course is in. Shown via the insights data tables.
Skills Developed - the Skills Users will gain, and can later add manually, via their Skills Profile page.
Collaborators - responsible for helping the Author create and edit the content.
Verifier and Verification Interval - the User who checks the relevance of the content, after the time-frame chosen.
**Share with... - assigning your individuals and/or Groups. Custom Rules can also be applied here, to ensure key users and teams are targeted based on when they joined, or their user role, etc.
Note✨: You'll be able to use the email notification toggle, to choose whether the assigned Users will receive assignment notification emails.
Discussions - recommended for increasing social learning, and thus engagement. Authors/Managers can understand what Users do and don't understand, and what's causing questions.
Mark as Mandatory - an option that allows you to set content as a priority for Users to complete.
For a quick read on what to remember, when using the Mandatory toggle, check out: How to make content Mandatory
Content Visibility - this option allows you to choose how your Nugget is made visible to (or is hidden from) your Users, while they navigate across their workspace.

Set Release Date - makes your Nugget available immediately, or on a select date.
Hit Publish and your Nugget is now live to your assigned audience(s).
Note✨: **Once your Nugget is published, you'll be able to quickly assign Users, Custom Rules and Groups, via the Content insights page, using the Assign Learners step shortcut.
Select the 3-dot menu for your Nugget and choose Assign Learners.
This will open the assignment slide-out screen, revealing the same details as shown in the editor. Some exceptions include:
Email notifications toggle: this will need to be controlled within the editor
Assignment via Pathways: this will show the number of Pathways your content is featured in, but to expand the list, you will need to go into the editor.
Select Update Learners to make your changes. A notification will appear in the bottom-right of the screen, confirming your assignment as updated.
