How to start and complete Plans on Microsoft Learn
This article walks through the process of starting and completing Plans on Microsoft Learn as a learner. If you're unfamiliar with the Plans feature, review the Overview of Plans on Microsoft Learn article first.
Prerequisite
- You must be signed into your Learn profile to start a Plan
Start a Plan
You might have found a Plan because you were invited to one via a link, or because you discovered one via the Learn site (for example, on the Career Path pages of Microsoft Learn). You can start the Plan or sign in to Learn to start the Plans. If the Plan isn't an Official Plan created by Microsoft, the site asks you to provide your consent for your progress to be shared with the creator of the Plan.
If you have email notifications from Microsoft Learn enabled, you'll receive an email informing confirming you started this Plan. When you're halfway through the Plan, you'll receive an email informing you that you're halfway through the Plan. When when you complete the Plan, you'll receive an email congratulating you on completing the Plan. To change your email preferences, view the Manage your Learn profile settings article.
