Accessing the Admin Panel
Start by navigating to the Admin section
- Click on Admin in the left-hand navigation panel under the Manage section.
- The Administrative actions page will load, displaying a row of tabs across the top.

Opening the Manage Assets Tab
The Manage Assets tab is where you can view, filter, and take bulk actions across your entire content library.
- Click on the Manage Assets tab at the top of the page.
- The asset grid will load, showing columns for Provider, Title, Format, Length, Publication Year, and more. The total count is displayed in the bottom right.
Selecting Assets to Endorse
Before endorsing, you need to select the assets you want to act on. You can select assets individually or use filters to narrow down the list first.
- Use the filter fields in each column to narrow the list if needed (e.g. filter by Provider or Format).
- Tick the checkbox on the left of each row you want to endorse. Selected rows will be highlighted.

Note: You can select all visible results at once by ticking the checkbox in the column header row.
Endorsing Assets
Once assets are selected, you can endorse them using the action bar at the bottom of the page. The Endorse button offers two endorsement methods depending on your use case.
- In the action bar at the bottom, click the dropdown arrow next to the Endorse
- Choose one of the two options:
- By filter - endorses all assets that match your current filter criteria, regardless of whether they are individually checked.
- By selection - endorses only the specific assets you have manually ticked.

Note: "By filter" is useful when you want to endorse a large set of content matching specific criteria (e.g. all content from a particular provider). "By selection" gives you more granular control when endorsing a handful of specific titles.
Removing an Endorsement
Endorsements can be reversed at any time using the Remove Endorsement button, which also supports the same "By filter" and "By selection" options.
- Select the assets you want to un-endorse using the checkboxes.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to Remove Endorsement in the action bar.
- Choose By filter or By selection as appropriate.
How Endorsements Appear in Search
Endorsed content is promoted to the top of Search results. Users will see an orange star icon next to endorsed assets, making it easy to identify curated, recommended content.
- Navigate to the Search page from the left-hand menu under Learn.
- Enter a search query related to the content you just endorsed.
- Endorsed assets will appear at the top of the results list with a filled orange star in the far-right column.

Note: The "Endorsed" tooltip appears when you hover over the star icon, confirming the asset has been manually promoted by an admin.
How Endorsements Work via the API
When using the Filtered API, endorsements are controlled by the use_endorsement parameter. Setting use_endorsement=True splits results into two groups (endorsed and unendorsed) and moves the endorsed group to the front. Ordering within each group remains based on relevance score, so an endorsed asset at 0.70 will appear before an unendorsed one at 0.95.
Note: Endorsed assets are not exempt from the relevance_threshold. If an endorsed asset falls below the threshold set in the request or configured for that context, it is excluded from the results. The reordering happens after the search results are calculated, not as part of the search itself.Endorsing a Single Asset
If you only need to endorse one piece of content, you don't need to use the bulk action bar. You can toggle endorsement directly from the asset grid using the star icon.
Steps:
- Locate the asset you want to endorse by using the search or directly through the assets option.
- At the right side of the asset, under the filter “Endorsed” there is a star icon.
- Click the star icon. It will turn orange to confirm the asset is now endorsed.
- To remove the endorsement, click the orange star again. It will revert to an outline, indicating the endorsement has been removed.
