The icons Continu uses to represent each content type — Article, Video, Workshop, Assessment, and others — and what each one signals on Explore and the Dashboard.
Continu's content types each have a distinct icon that appears on content cards, in search results, and in the Dashboard. Recognizing them at a glance helps learners (and admins) navigate the library quickly without reading every label.
The Content Type Icons
Article. A document or text icon. Native Continu-authored text content with rich formatting, embedded images, and links. See Add an Article to Continu.
Video. A play button or film icon. Native uploaded videos or embedded videos from external platforms (Vimeo, YouTube, Wistia).
File. A document or paperclip icon. PDFs, PowerPoints, Word documents, and other binary files.
SCORM. A SCORM-specific icon. Interactive courseware imported from authoring tools like Articulate Storyline, Captivate, or Rise.
Workshop. A calendar or session icon. Live instructor-led sessions, in-person or virtual.
Assessment. A checklist or graded test icon. Knowledge checks with optional grading (text, video, screen recording, video coaching).
Survey. A poll or chart icon. Response-collection without grading.
Learning Track. A path or sequence icon. An ordered collection of content with optional completion logic.
Journey. A timeline icon. A time-based program combining content, Workshops, and Assessments.
External Content. An external-link icon. Content that links out to another platform (LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, internal CMS, etc.).
Other Indicators on Content Cards
Featured / Pinned. A star or pin icon indicating the content has been promoted by an admin.
New. A "New" badge or color indicator on recently added content.
Required. A required-content indicator on assigned content with a due date.
Completed. A checkmark or green indicator on content the learner has finished.
In Progress. A progress bar or partial-fill indicator showing how far the learner has gotten.
If Icons Look Different on Your Instance
Some Continu plans support white-label customization including custom icons. If your instance's icons differ from the above, your admin has configured them. The functional meaning stays consistent — only the visual changes.

Each content type has a distinct icon. Recognizing them speeds navigation. Featured, New, Required, Completed, and In Progress are additional status indicators on top of the type icons.
