How do I add/remove an expiry date from the certificate of completion?

This article will show you how to use the certificate editor to add/remove the expiry date, and other data fields.

First of all, navigate yourself to the certificate editor area (https://app.scandlearn.net/admin/certificates)
Menu - Certificates

 

Now you can see all of the certificates available in your system. Click on the certificate you wish to edit.

If you haven't created a custom certificate yet, you'll only see the Scandlearn Default certificate. This certificate CAN'T be edited.

To start from scratch, simply click on the + Create button.
To duplicate the template, click on the duplication icon to the right of the Scandlearn certificate
