Confirmation types

Pulse activity feature

Within the “Mark as complete options” tab of a Pulse activity, course creators can enable the option to require confirmation before the activity is marked as complete. When confirmation is needed, a button will appear in the activity with customizable call-to-action options such as “Mark as complete,” “Acknowledge,” “Confirm,” “Choose,” or “Approve.”

Course creators can select the button text that best suits their specific use case.

Once the confirmation is finished, the button disappears, and the Pulse activity is marked as completed according to the completion requirements.
