Step 1: Once inside the certificate builder, click Upload Certificate image to upload the image and start editing.
Step 2: After uploading the certificate image, click the merge tags to add them to the image surface. The merge tags include:
Course name
Student name

Step 3: Merge tags can be dragged and positioned anywhere on the certificate as per your preference. The placement of the merge tags will appear exactly as positioned in the final issued certificate.
Step 1: Merge tags font edit options: You can edit and style the merge tags to your preference.
Step 2: Issue certificate when: The certificate builder also provides an option to automatically issue the certificate to the student based on 3 conditions:

Step 4: Activate the certificate so that it is automatically issued once the student reaches the milestone you had set for when the certificate should be issued.
A student becomes eligible to download their certificate upon reaching the milestone you set for certificate issuance. This milestone can be based on any of the following criteria:
The course is fully completed.
A specific lesson is marked complete.
A certain percentage of the course is completed.
Once the milestone is met, the student will be prompted to claim their certificate. If they finish the entire course, they will see a Get Certificate notification.
If they reach a required percentage or complete a specific lesson, a 'Get Certificate' button will appear for them.
Step 1: Go to Learning, then select Certificates.
Step 2: Click the three-dot icon next to the certificate name and select View Issued.
