🧠 Understand Why Conversion Matters

The vertical learner experience is becoming the default on Didask. For several months, the old and new experiences coexisted to give you time to get familiar with the changes. From now on, all our improvements and new AI features are reserved for projects using the vertical experience.

πŸ“Œ To learn more about this experience, see the article: Everything you need to know about the vertical learner experience.

πŸ’‘ Conversion is safe: a copy of your original project is automatically preserved.

πŸ“Š Understand What Happens During Conversion

Element

Impact of conversion

Ongoing publishing

βœ… No impact. Publishing continues without interruption or pause.

Existing statistics

βœ… Fully preserved.

Learner data

βœ… No data loss.

Learners

βœ… No action required on their end.

πŸ’‘ You can convert a project even while it is being actively published, without any risk of disrupting your learners' experience.


πŸ”™ Understand That Conversion Is Irreversible

⚠️ Once converted, a project cannot be reverted to its previous form, even by contacting our support team.

To ensure nothing is lost:

  • At the time of conversion, a copy of your original project remains under the old learner experience.

  • This copy is not published to your learners - only the converted project is.

  • It is stored in a Back-ups folder, automatically created in each space of your Didask platform.

⚠️ Important: when converting, do not disable the backup toggle shown in the conversion window. This is what ensures your original project is saved.

✨ Do I Need to Make Edits After Converting?

πŸ“Œ In the vast majority of cases, no edits are needed.

πŸ’‘ We do recommend reviewing each of your converted projects after the switch, in case a few minor touch-ups are useful (layout, styles, visual adjustments).

πŸ”— All our tips for finalizing your converted projects are in the article: Polish your content in the vertical learner experience.


πŸ”Ž "Vertical learner XP" tool

The "Vertical learner experience" page (vertical learner XP) is available in your admin space (under Settings). It lets you track the conversion status of all your projects in real time and plan your project conversions with confidence.

What you can do from this page:

  • View your total number of projects and how they are split between the old and new learner experience

  • Identify at a glance the projects still to be converted, by training space

  • Distinguish between converted projects with or without a saved backup

  • Export the list as a CSV

How to read the data:

  • Without vertical experience: projects still on the old experience, to be converted before August 31

  • Vertical learner experience: projects already converted or created natively on the new experience

  • With backup: converted projects whose original backup is still present

  • Without backup: new or converted projects whose backup has been deleted
