# Discover

![The Explore Content page with the Access, Content, Language, Level, Topics, Tags, Subject, Format, Price, and Certificate filters on the left, a Courses chip, and a grid of course cards](../images/catalog/discover.webp)

## Overview

Discover is the catalog: every course, program, and pathway available to you, with filters to narrow it down. The top bar reads "Explore Content".

The page opens on courses, shown as a removable **Courses** chip above the grid. Filters live in a column on the left; on a phone, tap **Filter** to open them in a drawer.

Reach Discover from the **Discover** icon in the left rail, the **Explore Catalog** button on [Home](home.md), or by searching from the top bar. The **Courses**, **Programs**, and **Pathways** icons in the rail also open Discover, pre-filtered to what you are enrolled in. If your organization has turned Discover off, the icon, the search box, and this page are unavailable.

## Target Audience

**Learner** | **Administrator** | **Visitor** (when the organization allows public browsing)

## Features

#### Access filter
The first filter, open by default, narrows the catalog to **Enrolled** content or to content **Recommended** for you (with a count). It is shown only when you are signed in, and Recommended is hidden when the organization has turned recommendations off.

#### Catalog filters
The remaining filters come from the catalog itself, so the list depends on what your organization has tagged. Typical filters are **Content** (courses, programs, pathways), **Language**, **Level**, **Topics**, **Tags**, **Subject**, **Format** (self-paced or instructor-led), **Price**, and **Certificate**; others such as Provider, Course duration, or Skills appear when the catalog uses them.

Filters start collapsed. Click a filter's name to expand it, then tick the values you want. Each value shows how many items match, and a **Filter** box at the top narrows a long list of values. Values with no matches, and filters with no values, are hidden. **Price** takes one value at a time.

#### Filter chips
Every active filter appears as a grey chip above the grid with an **X** to remove it. Content and Access chips show just the value (for example "Courses"); others show the filter's name too (for example "Level: Intermediate"). A search from the top bar appears as a chip as well, and removing it clears the search.

#### Results grid
Matching items appear as cards, 12 to a page, with **Previous** and **Next** below. The Enrolled and Recommended views list everything at once without paging. Each card shows its type badge and an **Enrolled** or **Recommended** pill when it applies; click it to open the item.

#### Empty results
When nothing matches you see "No content found." (or "No enrolled content found." / "No recommended content found." in those views).

#### Shareable links
The filters are kept in the page's address, so you can bookmark or share a filtered view, for example `discover?content=courses&enrolled=true` for your enrolled courses or `discover?q=advising` for a search.

## How to Use

#### Step 1: Choose a content type
Use the **Content** filter, or remove the **Courses** chip, to switch between courses, programs, and pathways.

#### Step 2: Narrow the results
Expand filters such as **Level** or **Topics** and tick the values you want. Combine them freely; each one adds a chip.

#### Step 3: Open an item
Click a card to open its page, where you can read about it and enroll.

#### Step 4: Clear filters
Click the **X** on any chip to remove that filter.
