How to Edit a Student's Certificate
Sometimes you'll need to make a change to one of your student's certificates. This is common for name changes or issue date edits that are required. In Thinkific, you can easily update a certificate for a specific student!
Updates will only be reflected on the specific student's certificate and once you save your changes, your student can download the updated certificate directly from their student account.
- Go to Support Your Students
- Select Users
- Locate your student and click on their name
- In the Certificate Issued column, select View for your desired certificate
- Customize any text that appears in the left column
- Click Save to apply changes
Your student will now be able to download the update from within their course or My Account settings. You also have the option to download the certificate and email it to them directly!
