Equivalent contents group several content items that should count as alternatives to each other. If a learner has a valid completion for any included content, the equivalent contents item is also treated as completed for that learner.
Equivalent contents are useful when several trainings satisfy the same requirement, for example different versions, languages, or formats of the same training.

How equivalent contents work
The equivalent contents item is relevant only for learners it is assigned to. If it is assigned only to learners in Finland, sessions are created only for learners in Finland when they have valid completions for the included contents.
Removing an assignment does not remove sessions that were already created.
Unlike learning paths, included contents are not automatically made accessible to learners. The included contents must be assigned separately if learners should see and open them in the
Equivalent contents table
The Equivalent contents table lists the content items included in the group.
The table shows columns such as Name, Type, and Updated:
- Name – the included content item.
- Type – the content type.
- Updated – when the included content item was last updated.
Available actions include opening details, opening reports, and removing a content item from the equivalent contents group. Removing a content item from the group does not delete it from the LMS.
Add content
The Add content section contains Select content, where you choose another existing content item to include in the equivalent contents group.
Limitations
An equivalent contents item cannot be set as manually completed.
Completions for equivalent contents cannot have their own expiration. They expire automatically when none of the included content completions are valid anymore.
