If you have important training (such as mandatory compliance learning plans) that should be completed as a priority, the custom learning plan widget can be used to focus attention to that training so and ensures that it stands out to your users.
Example: You might configure the custom Learning plans widget to only show specific learning plans that are of vital importance and that users must complete , or set it so that certain learning plans are pinned to the start or top of the widget and are always visible , and then add it to the homepage of a community so that users can see those learning plans and their current completion status and the percentage that has been completed each and every time they land on the community, serving as a reminder.
