Content Preferences is the default for all accounts created after September 2025.
For organizations who joined Go1 prior to September 2025, follow the instructions below to enable to latest experience.
Content preferences offer an alternative way to manage your organization's content library. Instead of manually selecting every course, you can make all purchased content available by default and use intelligent restrictions to exclude specific categories, providers, or languages.
How the two approaches differ
Manual library curation (your current approach): You select each piece of content individually to add to your library. Your learners only see what you've explicitly added.
Content preferences (available when you opt in): All purchased content is available by default. You set preferences to exclude specific categories, providers, or languages. Your learners access the full breadth of Go1's catalog within the boundaries you define.
Benefits of content preferences
Unlocking content preferences reduces your curation workload while giving learners access to more relevant content. Organizations typically save around 2 hours per week in manual content curation and handling team requests.
With content preferences, you can:
Give learners access to Go1's full content library from 250+ providers
Automatically exclude unwanted content by category, provider, or language
Feature your trusted content prominently through endorsement
Enable learners and managers to discover and select content independently
What happens when you unlock content preferences
🛡️ Your library becomes endorsed content: All content currently in your library receives your organization's endorsement badge. Endorsed items stay front and center for learners in search results and recommendations. Learn more about endorsing trusted content.
🍎 Learners get access to the freshest content: Your team can access Go1's full content library from 250+ providers. New content appears automatically, keeping your offering current.
🔒 You stay in control: Use content preferences to exclude specific providers, categories, and languages from search results and recommendations. Your preferences apply automatically across all discovery experiences.
🔍 The Library tab is retired: You no longer manage content by adding items individually. The Preferences tab becomes your control center for content management. Learn more about how to manage content preferences.

FAQs
Will my learners be overwhelmed?
Will my learners be overwhelmed?
No. Endorsed content displays clear badges on the homepage, in playlists, and in AI recommendations. Learners can filter to see only endorsed content with one select. Most teams see higher engagement, not overwhelm.
Can I revert back?
Can I revert back?
Yes, anytime. Select Switch back to curated library in the Preferences tab. Your library returns to its exact previous state with all your approved content. Nothing is lost.
What happens to my library?
What happens to my library?
Your approved courses automatically become endorsed content with badges that help learners identify organization-trusted resources. Your curation work is preserved and made more visible—not replaced.
Do I need to set up content preferences straight away?
Do I need to set up content preferences straight away?
No. Content preferences are optional. Many organizations start with zero filters and only add them if specific content concerns arise. You can always add preferences later.
Can I choose my own categories to exclude?
Can I choose my own categories to exclude?
Not directly, but you can suggest categories for addition to content preferences. The current categories reflect common organizational needs across Go1's customer base.
Will this change what learners see immediately?
Will this change what learners see immediately?
Yes. After you unlock content preferences, learners will see a broader content selection in their search results (minus any preferences you've set). Discovery becomes faster and less dependent on waiting for admin approval. Learners who already started courses can complete them regardless of your preference settings.
Can I exclude individual courses or just certain courses from a provider?
Can I exclude individual courses or just certain courses from a provider?
Content preferences work at the category and provider level—you can't exclude individual courses. If you need that level of control over specific items, manual library curation may be a better fit for your organization. Many organizations find that category and provider-level preferences give them the control they need while reducing curation time significantly.
