Manage organizational content restrictions

Ensure relevant content access using content restrictions that suit your organizational and cultural context.

Updated this week

With Go1, you have access to our complete content catalog - over 90,000 courses, videos, and learning resources covering everything from compliance training to leadership development. Content restrictions let you put intelligent safeguard rails in place, ensuring the learning content your team discovers suits your organizational and cultural context.


How content restrictions work

Content restrictions apply automatically across all discovery experiences in Go1 Learn (and our legacy platform myGo1). When you enable restrictions for specific categories or providers, members of your team will not see the applicable content in search results, homepage recommendations, AI chat, or any other content discovery features.

Where restrictions apply:

  • Search results and AI-powered content suggestions including AI Chat and Playlists

  • Recommendations

  • Alternative content suggestions for retiring content

Content not affected by restrictions:

  • Portal-created content (courses, playlists, and learning objects your organization creates)

Enable content restrictions

Restrictions are managed in Go1 Learn, and apply to both Go1 Learn and the legacy experience, myGo1.

Restriction categories

The available restriction categories reflect common organizational needs across our diverse customer base. These categories cover themes that customers have frequently requested to manage in line with their cultural and professional context.

Each organization chooses which categories, if any, to restrict based on their unique context and learner needs.

Currently, content from eight categories can be restricted:

Active Shooter
Training focused on preparedness, response, and compliance strategies for active shooter incidents, including situational awareness, threat recognition, emergency protocols, and behavioral threat assessment.

Religion and Spirituality
Content exploring belief systems, practices, and philosophies across major world religions, spiritual movements, personal spiritual practices, and approaches to meaning and transcendence.

Religious Skepticism
Critical perspectives on religious beliefs and institutions, including philosophical, historical, and scientific critiques of religion, atheism, agnosticism, and secular approaches to ethics and meaning.

Sex and Dating
Education covering romantic and sexual relationships, including relationship dynamics, sexual health, consent, attraction, communication, dating psychology, and exploitation.

Diversity, Inclusion and Cultural Awareness
Content fostering understanding and equitable treatment across different backgrounds, identities, and experiences, including unconscious bias training, cultural competence, and inclusive communication strategies.

LGBTQIA+
Learning covering sexual orientations and gender identities outside cisgender and heterosexual norms, including LGBTQIA+ history, identity development, inclusive practices, and support strategies.

Substance Abuse Awareness
Content addressing harmful use of substances, including alcohol and drugs, with focus on awareness, prevention, recovery strategies, and building healthier coping mechanisms.

Weight Management
Content covering practices and strategies for achieving and maintaining weight-loss through balanced nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle choices, and behavioral change approaches.

Understanding AI categorization

We use AI to automatically categorize content into restriction categories that customers have frequently requested. To assess if content is sufficiently related to a category to warrant restriction, we use a two-step process:

Step 1: Content Analysis

AI reviews each learning object's title, description, and learning outcomes to create a summary of the content.

Step 2: Category Mapping
The system then analyzes the summary and the original content details against predefined restriction categories to determine which restrictions, if any, should apply. For each category, the AI determines whether the content is sufficiently related to that theme to warrant restriction.

While we aim for high accuracy, no automated categorization is perfect. If you identify content that needs to be reviewed for re-classification, please contact [email protected].
