How do I use the built-in Questions & Answers forum?

Navigate to the Questions section to post questions, tag users or topics, and assign responses. This built-in discussion feature promotes collaboration and peer learning within the Coursebox community or a specific course.

The Questions section is an in-built discussion forum on the Coursebox Branded Training Platform (Premium) where community members can ask and answer questions.

Tags are the best way to group questions into different categories. They allow users to quickly search for questions related to a specific tag.

In addition to topics, you can also tag a user to a question. This is a great way to ask questions of experts or other team members.
