Quest Ladder / Publishing a ladder
Milestones, preview as a learner, and publishing
See your ladder the way three different learners will, then publish it.
Preview as the learner who already knows it. That is the one that surprises you.
Milestone messages
Milestone Messages shows a celebratory message when a learner completes a specific step. It is a small thing that matters on a long ladder, where the end is far away and the middle is where people stop.
Put one after the step that is genuinely hard rather than at the halfway mark. Acknowledging the difficult thing lands; acknowledging an arbitrary count does not.
Preview for a student
Preview for a student runs the ladder as a mock learner, and offers three states to run it as.
| State | Shows you |
|---|---|
| First time | What a new learner meets — the full path. |
| Mastered and current | What somebody who already knows it all meets. |
| Review due | What somebody returning after a gap meets. |
Preview visit runs it. The second state is the revealing one, and the builder warns you about it directly: a mock learner who is current on everything would skip every step, so either a step must be set to always serve a full visit, or you should expect the all-current screen.
Run all three before publishing anything you will use for more than one lesson. A ladder that is excellent for a new learner and empty for a returning one is a ladder that stops working in week three, and only this preview shows that.
Publish readiness
The Publish readiness panel checks the structure: every step has a published pool of questions, and the path is valid. Publishing is blocked while it is not — the control says to fix the publish checks first.
The two failures you will meet are a step whose question type is still a draft, and a path left dangling after an edit or after a linked block was updated. Stale paths are highlighted in red on the canvas.
