A learning path is an ordered list of resources — links to articles, videos, tutorials, or documentation — that you curate to help someone learn a topic from start to finish. You set the context with metadata like a title, description, difficulty, and estimated duration, then share the path privately, with your team, or publicly with the entire DevUps community.

​
What a learning path contains

Each path has two parts: the path itself and the items (resources) inside it. Path metadata describes the learning journey at a glance:
FieldDescription
TitleRequired. The name of the learning path.
DescriptionA summary of what learners will achieve.
TagsKeywords that make the path discoverable. Press Enter after each tag.
DifficultyOne of Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.
Estimated durationFree-text estimate, for example “2–3 hours” or “1 week”.
Path items are the individual resources inside the path. Each item has a title, URL, optional description, content type, and an optional duration estimate. Items are ordered — learners work through them in sequence.

​
Visibility levels

When you create or edit a path, you choose who can see it:
  • Private — Only you can see and access the path.
  • Team — All members of your current team can see the path. This option only appears when you are in a team workspace (not a personal workspace).
  • Public — Anyone can find and view the path, including people who are not signed in.
You can change a path’s visibility at any time by editing it.

​
Registration and progress tracking

To track your progress through a path, you register for it. Registering links your account to the path so DevUps can record which items you complete. Once registered, you mark individual items as complete directly on the path detail page. A progress bar shows your completion percentage as you go. When you mark the last item complete, DevUps plays a confetti celebration to mark the moment. Path owners see a read-only progress badge on their own paths instead of a registration button, since they authored the content.
Registration is required to track progress. You can unregister from a path at any time, but doing so does not delete your completion data.

​
Discovering public paths

The Discover tab on your dashboard surfaces public learning paths created by the wider DevUps community. You can also browse the public paths index at /explore without signing in — useful for sharing a path with someone who does not yet have an account. Public paths are sorted by how many users have completed them, so the most battle-tested content rises to the top.
