What are points and why are they always visible?:

GROW
Is integrated between both platforms, so completions records are shared.

Accounts in LinkedIn Learning will be created in the moment, should you not have one already. Login details and content completions are shared between the system, so long as the content is integrated with Learning Studio. By default, there is no relationship to personal LinkedIn accounts. Only content that exists in both platforms will be reflected in both places (historical completions of LinkedIn Learning content will not be captured in Learning Studio).

Microsoft Learn is a free learning tool. No personal data is exchanged.
