Step 3: Enter remaining details
On the competency edit page, under the General Settings tab, enter a brief description of the competency. For level-up assessment settings, if you choose to "add your own prompts" you will be able to add custom questions for learners to respond to during the level-up process. If you leave this option unchecked, the following default prompt will be provided:
"What are some specific examples of skills you have gained or ways you have grown in this dimension? How will this help you in your future career?"

If your program uses dimensions, information is provided in this article: How to Create a Dimension.
Step 5: Publish when you're ready
Once you are satisfied with the details of the competency, publish it so it will be visible to learners.
