Overview
The Q&A experience allows learners to post questions and get answers from experts in their private organization.
With Q&A, you and your peers learn collaboratively.

To get to the Q&A page, click Browse and then click Q&A. On the Q&A page you’ll see four main interaction
points:
 A. Ask a private question within your org. Use the gear icon to edit your knowledge areas and notification
settings.

B. Filter questions and answers by topic. Refine your results further with the search filter.

C. Browse all questions. Those with a Match tag indicate a question that matches your chosen knowledge
area. Those with a Resolved tag indicate a question that received a satisfactory answer.

D. Become a top top contributor by asking and answering questions, commenting, and having your
responses marked as helpful.

Note: All Q&A data belongs to the Enterprise plan organization. Learners who leave the plan cannot take
their questions or answers with them. If a learner leaves your plan, their questions and answers will
remain as resources for people still on the plan.
