Step 2: Upload your updated content metadata

Step 3: Choose where you want to publish your learning content

When uploading content, you can choose where you want your content to be published. You can choose from the following options:

  1. Your Portal – select this option to make your content available to users in your portal

  2. Go1 Premium – select this option if you are a Go1 Content Partner and want to add your content to Go1 Content Hub. Your content will be submitted for review by Go1 before its available to learners.

Step 4: Upload your metadata CSV, images, closed captions, and transcript files

  1. Prepare your metadata CSV

    • Review the metadata you exported from the Content manager table

    • Check our metadata guidelines to understand what is expected of you

    • Make any updates to the metadata file

    • Ensure all required metadata fields are filled out - follow the instructions in the second row of the CSV template

    • Make sure the LO ID matches the content you’re updating.

  2. Upload your metadata CSV file, with any images, closed captions or transcripts

  3. Click Upload Content Details to begin.

When the upload is completed, you will see a summary of the learning content that has been successfully updated. If all your learning content has been updated successfully you will see a banner indicating that your content has been updated and published to your selected destination. You can close the Bulk Uploader by clicking Close at the bottom of the page.

If your upload has errors, you will see a banner indicating that your content has not been updated and published to your selected destination. Export the error report to view the errors. Once you have corrected the errors in your content metadata CSV, upload it again in the window.
