Recertification Notification – notification sent when the retake period starts notifying the user that it's time to retake the course. By default, a standard notification is sent (Settings > Notifications > Recertification period has been started). You can also choose to send a custom message.

Nag Reminders – notification sent to remind the user to retake the course. You can choose how often it should be sent by changing the "every X days" setting. By default, a standard notification is sent (Settings > Notifications > Reminder about recertification period start). You can also choose to send a custom message.

Expiration Notification – notification sent if the user misses to retake the course before the compliance period ends. By default, a standard notification is sent (Settings > Notifications > Certificate expired. Recertification period ended). You can also choose to send a custom message.

Off - in this mode, course progress will not be tracked and the course can never be completed. This mode is useful if you would like to have a course that never can be completed.

Static - in Static mode, course completion is connected to course progress and scheduled events. A course is completed when the user reaches 100% progress and the date of the last completed event has passed. Once a user has reached a completed state, the course will stay completed no matter if course content is changed or added to the course. Course progress will however stay updated with content changes. Meaning that if new content is added, progress will be recalculated and will go below 100% for previously completed users. But, as stated above, this will not affect the completion status for already completed users.

Static mode should be used for courses where content updates should not affect already completed users course status.

Dynamic - in Dynamic mode, using the same logic as in Static mode, course completion is connected to course progress and scheduled events. A course is completed when the user reaches 100% progress and the date of the last completed event has passed. But, in Dynamic mode, course completion is always directly connected to user progress and if a user's progress goes below 100% due to new course content being added, the course will automatically be moved from "Completed" to "In Progress". This means that adding new content to the course will change completed users course status and the course will be automatically moved from the course history to "In Progress".

Dynamic mode should be used for courses where it's important that new course content is completed by both new and old course participants.

Manual approval - in Manual approval mode, course completion is manually controlled by an administrator or a Content designer. Course progress is tracked the same way as in Static and Dynamic modes but does not affect course completion in any way. Rather, an administrator or a Content designer sets the course as passed or failed for users.
