End-screen and completion behaviour

What happens when a participant finishes a Micro training: automatic completion, the default end screen and its next-step prompt, and how to design a custom end screen.

When a participant finishes a Micro training, the last screen they see is its end screen — it confirms they're done and points them to whatever comes next. Every Micro training has one, and you can either leave the default in place or design your own, with a title and text you write and a button linking somewhere else.


Completion happens automatically

A Micro training doesn't have a separate "finish" button. Participants move through the slides with Next, and the moment they move past the last slide the activity is marked complete and they land on the end screen. That completion is what shows up as progress in the learning journey — for the participant, their manager, and in your engagement view.

If a slide has a question the participant needs to answer, Next stays unavailable until they've answered, so nobody reaches the end screen with a required question left blank.


What the default end screen says

Out of the box, the end screen confirms completion with Activity completed! and a note that they can revisit this and other activities from the learning journey overview at any time.

Below that, Knowly points them to the right next step based on what they have left:

  • If they still have other unfinished activities, the end screen offers to take them straight to their earliest unfinished one — so they keep moving through the journey.

  • If this was their last open activity, it instead offers the Learning journey overview and confirms they've completed everything available so far.

You don't set this up — Knowly works out which prompt fits each participant.


Design a custom end screen

If you want the ending to do more than confirm completion, turn on Custom end screen in the Micro training's End screen settings. A custom end screen lets you add a cover photo, write your own title and body text, and add a button that links out to an external page — useful for a next resource, a booking link, or a form.

The next-step prompt still follows the same rule underneath: someone with unfinished activities is nudged onward, someone who's done sees the Learning journey overview. The custom screen changes what participants read, not where Knowly sends them next.


Preview it

Preview the Micro training as a participant and go all the way to the end, so you see the exact end screen they'll get — default or custom — before you launch.
