Content metadata overview
Specific metadata is required for every unit of content included in your learning experience, from individual tutorials to the project or course that they might be contained in.
YOUR CHARTER
All charters: required
The content script template that you will use includes metadata tables to capture the required information in an organized format. Providing this metadata when you draft your tutorials makes this process as efficient as possible for you, any collaborators you are working with, and the Unity Learn team.
The labels and the order of the items in these tables match the fields in the Unity Learn platform as closely as possible. Please fill in as much of this metadata as you can in your template(s), except for the grayed-out rows.
