Group-level reset policies allow you to control CPD reset schedules for all courses belonging to a specific LearnDash group. When a group policy is enabled, all courses inside the group inherit this policy and cannot set their own reset schedules.
Open the Group CPD Settings
Go to: WordPress Admin → Groups → Edit (select a group)
Inside the group editor, scroll to find the section named CPD Settings.
A message appears stating: “CPD settings are saved when you click Update.”
If no policy is configured yet, you will also see: “No CPD reset configured.”
Enable CPD Reset for the Group
Click the button:
Enable CPD reset for this group
Once enabled, the group policy becomes active and two tabs appear:
- Fixed Date
- Relative
A note is displayed: “After enabling, courses in this group inherit this policy and cannot define their own reset schedule.”
