 In order for the learning plan assignment notification to be sent to users, the Enable learning plan assignment setting must be enabled before you set the visibility and save the learning plan. If you select this setting after setting the visibility, the notification will not be sent. |
 | The user must click the link in the notification or email to start the learning plan. |

The |
learning plan |
has expired: %{course_name} |
has now expired  If the user has a registered email address, they also receive a matching email in their inbox: |
 | This notification |
appears if the user has not completed the learning plan by the expiry date set in the Upon completion the learning plan is valid |
for [#] days. Reset user |
progression [#] days before expire setting |
in the Expiry tab. Example: In the example below, as soon as the user completes the learning plan, their completion will be valid for 365 days (1 year); however, each year they will need to re-complete the learning plan at least 30 days before this year-long period ends to ensure they are compliant for the following year while still being compliant for the current year. If the user fails to do this within the given 30 days, the current year-long period will expire without them being compliant for the next year, meaning they will become overdue, and the %{course_name} has now expired notification is triggered.  The frequency of this notification is controlled by the Before deadline/expiry settings here: |
 | The user |
becomes overdue and appears in the Overdue section in the Team Progress dashboard until they complete the learning plan |
