You can change the certificate settings at any time on the same page where you turned them on: Courses → select a course → Certificates. Changes apply only to certificates issued after you save. Certificates that were already issued stay the way they were on the day of issue.

​
How to change the settings

1

Open the course certificates section

Go to Courses, open the course and choose Certificates in the course menu.
2

Make your changes

Choose another template in the gallery or change the fields in the Certificate details block.
3

Save

Click Save. To discard your edits before saving, click Cancel.

​
What you can change

​
Brand color

The brand color is the accent color of the certificate design. The platform chooses it like this:
  1. If the Brand color is set in the certificate settings, it is used.
  2. If the color is not set or was cleared, the accent color of the school theme is used. You can set it up in Themes.
  3. If the theme color cannot be determined, the default orange color is used.
The color is locked in at the time of issue. If you later change the school theme or the brand color, issued certificates do not change color.

​
Issued certificates do not change

When the platform issues a certificate, it saves a copy of all its data: the student name, course name, number of lessons, school name and icon, signature, stamp, role, color and dates. The certificate page is always built from this copy.
The school interface has no tools to edit or revoke an issued certificate. Check the settings before students start completing the course, and ask students to check their full name in the profile in advance.

​
If you turn certificates off

  • New certificates are no longer issued. Students who complete the course during this time do not get a certificate, even after you turn certificates back on.
  • Certificates issued earlier stay with the students and open by link.
  • The template, signature and stamp settings are kept: when you turn certificates back on, you do not need to fill them in again.

​
Frequently asked questions

No. The new signature appears only in certificates issued after you save the settings. Issued certificates are shown with the data from the time of issue.
Not in the school interface. The name is taken from the student’s profile at the time of issue and does not change after that. To avoid mistakes, ask students to check their full name before they complete the course.
No. The expiry date is calculated at the time of issue: the issue date plus the set number of months. Only certificates issued after you save get the new period.
Old certificates keep the previous name and the previous icon. The new name appears in certificates issued after the change.
Issued certificates do not change: the course name is saved in the certificate at the time of issue, and the verification page keeps opening.
No, the school interface has no such option. The validity period is locked in at the time of issue.
Certificate settings are saved only with the Save button at the bottom of the page. If you left the page without saving, the changes are lost. After a successful save, you see the Certificate settings saved message.
