Overview #
A Stack is a container within a Workspace that is used to house a collection of one or more Pools, Packages, and Pathways. Each Stack has its own authoring team to create, update and deliver content to Participants in either a browser or a Learning Management System.
Although Stacks belong to certain Workspaces, anyone from the Organisation can be added to the Stack as an Author. If they aren’t in the Workspace, the Stack will appear under their “Shared with Me”.
When interacting with a Stack, you will mostly be working within a Cohort. Therefore it is important to choose the right Cohort before working on the contents of the Stack. Read What is a Cohort? for more information.
