Locking categories
Releasing content in a Product can vary from business to business. That's why Kajabi gives you the tools to build your Product to release content according to your business needs.
Locking content can be accomplished by locking Categories or Subcategories by Product Post.
This ensures that your Members must first complete your specified Post to unlock the next Category or Subcategory and gain access to the next section of content.
To unlock a Locked Category, your Members must:
- Click Complete in a Post to Mark As Complete or
- Complete or Pass an Assessment
What happens if a Member attempts to move on to the next Category before completing the Post?
If a Member attempts to move onto the Locked Category or Subcategory before completing your selected Post, they will encounter a "This Post is Locked" message:
This message is not customizable, however, the language can be changed by updating the Language in your Site Details settings.
Locking assessments
Assessments are great tools for surveying or testing your Members in your Product. With Assessments, you can require your Members to complete or pass your Assessment before unlocking the next Category.
