Question

Answer 1

On Microsoft Learn, a study plan is created as a Plan. If the message says there are no plans yet, first create one, then add items to it.

To create a Plan on Microsoft Learn:

1. Sign in to Microsoft Learn and ensure the Learn profile is active.
2. Create or copy a Collection that contains the learning content to use:
   • Follow the steps in "Create and manage Microsoft Learn Collections" to build a Collection with the modules, learning paths, or other Learn content.
3. Convert the Collection to a Plan:
   • Go to the profile’s Collections page.
   • Select the Collection to use.
   • Use the option to copy/convert this Collection into a Plan.
   • When the Plan is created, the Collection’s title, description, and section descriptions are copied into the Plan.
   • Sections in the Collection become Milestones in the Plan.
4. Edit the Plan:
   • Add or edit Milestones (reorder, add, delete, or move items between milestones).
   • Optionally add Learning outcomes (skills learners will gain).
   • Optionally add Days to milestone (recommended number of days to complete each milestone).
5. Publish the Plan and then add content:
   • From any Learn content page, select the + icon.
   • Choose the Plans tab.
   • Select the Plan just created and select Save.

Once the Plan exists, the “no plans” message will no longer appear when adding items; the Plan will be available in the Plans list.
