How to Control What Appears in the “Related Content” Tab
Overview
The "Related Content" tab in Pinnacle Series helps users discover other useful learning materials. However, you may want to tailor what appears in this section to create a more focused user experience. This article explains how related content is determined and how to manage it.
How Related Content Works
Pinnacle Series automatically pulls in related items based only on folder location. If two content items are stored in the same folder, they will appear under each other’s "Related Content" tab. This means:
-
Folder = Relationship
-
Keywords, titles, or metadata are not considered
How to Influence Related Content
To manage what users see in the "Related Content" tab, organize your content carefully at the folder level.
To include related items:
-
Store the items in the same folder.
-
They will automatically appear under each other’s related content tab.
To exclude items:
-
Move those items to a different folder.
-
They will not appear under related content for the original item.
Best Practices
-
Group content by role, topic, or purpose in distinct folders.
-
Avoid placing unrelated materials in the same folder—even if they’re for the same audience.
-
Align your folder strategy with your learning path structure for consistency.
Example Scenarios
| Scenario | Folder Strategy | Result |
|---|---|---|
| All Workflow setup videos | Store in a folder named “Workflow Tutorials” | All videos display as related content |
| Remove an item | Move the item to another folder | It no longer shows under related content |
| Role-based grouping | Use folders like “Content Authors” or “Admins” | Only role-relevant items appear as related |
💡 Tip: Changing the folder is the only way to change what appears in the “Related Content” section. No additional settings or metadata are required.
