Hello,
I’m curious to hear how others approach content organization and structure within Litmos.
In my organization, we often repurpose training content across different audiences and use cases. One challenge we’re facing is how to separate reporting metrics and assign different due dates for the same content. From what I understand, it seems the best solution might be to “mirror” modules so that reporting and due dates can be customized as needed.
However, I’m concerned that this approach could clutter our content library with multiple versions of similar courses, which we may need to keep indefinitely to ensure learners receive proper credit on their transcripts.
Has anyone else tackled this? What approaches or best practices have worked well for your team?
Thanks for any pointers!

Hi Kayla
I have been in contact with our Litmos CX team. They recommend this as the best course of action for clients wanting different due dates for the same content: You need to copy, link, or mirror the module into another course so you can apply the relevant due dates at the course level.
Regarding de-cluttering, it would just be a matter of using naming conventions in the course titles so you can identify the courses and run reports. For example, if one department or team gets a different due date, you could add that department name or team name to the course title, so you know who is receiving that course.
