How-to guide: Adding annotations & replacing content

Supplement your users learning with information unique to your organisation

Adding annotations in CybSafe modules provides extra information on aspects of security, unique to individual organisations. 

These could reinforce organisational procedures and policies, and can also help relate CybSafe content to everyday security practices.


How to add annotations

Step 1: Open the module

Navigate to the CybSafe module you'd like to annotate. You can open modules by going to the module library and using the ellipses (three dots), to open the module in preview.

Step 2: Choose where to add the content

Find the 'anchor' for where you would like to add the annotation. Click on the "Annotate" link to the right of the content you wish to add detail to.

Step 3: Toggles!

Decide if you wish to have this published immediately or not. By having "publish annotation" toggled on, when you hit the 'submit' button, this will publish straight away.

You can leave this toggle off and come back to publish it at a later date.

For information on 'replacing content', scroll to the next section.

Step 4: Add your content

Give your annotation a relevant title and add the information you want users to see within the content box.

Step 5: Add languages

You can also add the annotation in another language from the "add another language" drop down menu.

Step 6: Select groups

Select which groups will receive the annotation. By not selecting a group, everyone will be able to see this annotation when published.

Step 7: Publish

To publish your annotation (if the "publish annotation" toggle is on) click "Submit".

When an annotation is published, all users will be able to see it (assuming the annotation has not been restricted to individual groups only).

Published annotations will be displayed in a box with a CybSafe logo next to it.

Please note: You will not be able to edit module titles or end of module quiz questions with this feature.


Replacing CybSafe content with Annotations

As an admin, you also have the ability to replace content in modules. You may wish to do this for a number of reasons. The advice we provide doesn't quite suit your organisation or you want to add a link to a policy for example.

Follow these next steps to replace content.

Step 1: Open the module in question

Navigate to the CybSafe module you'd like to annotate. You can open modules by going to the module library and using the ellipses (three dots), to open the module in preview.

Step 2: Choose the content to replace

Click on the "Annotate" link to the right of the content you wish to replace.

Step 3: Toggles!

You will see a toggle to "Replace content". Toggling this 'on' will result in the annotation replacing the content, rather than appearing alongside it.

Step : Write the content

For the example below, we're replacing content in the Malware and breach recovery (training style) module, specifically the section on "Plugging in devices". We want to add a link to policy on work devices. We liked the content that was already there, so copied this into the box, but added a link to our own policy.

Step : Check toggles

Make sure "Replace content" and "Publish annotation" have both been toggled 'on' at the top of the page

Step : Publish

To action the replacement of content click "submit" at the bottom of the page.

The content will now be changed.


Custom module builder

If just adding annotations isn't enough, CybSafe also has a Custom module builder. Speak to a member of the CybSafe team to see if you have access to this bolt-on package.
