Skip challenges
Take a shortcut.
This guide explains how to skip challenges within a track.
Skipping challenges allows learners to skip a challenge within a track. This might be useful when learners are stuck on a certain challenge or have partially completed a track and want to pick up where they left off.
If every challenge in a track has a solve script, users can potentially skip challenges. The following users can always skip challenges:
- All team members.
- Track authors.
Additionally, anyone can skip challenges if the
Allow skipping __ setting is checked on the track.All or nothing
If you enable skipping for learners, they will be able to skip every challenge in a track.
There are two requirements to enable the skip a challenge feature for a track:
- You need to be a track author of the track.
First, you need to enable skipping:
🌐 Web UI

- 2.Click the TRACK_NAME of the track where you want to enable skipping. ↳ Instruqt shows the corresponding Track dashboard page.
- 3.In the Settings section, turn on the Allow skipping toggle. ↳ The toggle looks like this now:.
If the Allow skipping toggle is grayed out or disabled for your track, ensure that every challenge with a check script also has a solve script.
- 1.Open the
track.ymlfile of the track where you want to enable skipping in your code editor. - 2.Add or adjust the following property to
track.yml:skipping_enabled: true - 3.Save
