Go to the Credly Organization section in the admin panel and create a new item:

1. to set the UUID use your Credly Organization identifier;
2. to set the authorization token issue one in the Credly Organization's dashboard.

Nit: I think this needs to be reworded. I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me to do.

"to set the authorization token, used to sync the Credly Organization"?

Comment on lines 41 to 50
Webhooks are set up on Credly management dashboard as Credly is a main initiator of the syncronization.

You should be able to select an action from the list so that whenever this action happens internally, external platform will be alerted and updated.

Without the syncronization, actions such as:

- Update of the badge template
- Archivation of the badge template

external platform will not be aware of any changes so it might continue issuing outdated badges.

Nit: Reword suggestion, feel free to ignore.

Webhooks are configured in Credly in order to inform external systems (e.g. the Credentials IDA) when an important action has occurred. 

You should be able to select an action from the list so that whenever the specified action occurs internally, the external system is alerted.

Without this synchronization, the external system will not be notified of any significant changes (e.g. a badge template update, or a badge template has been archived) and may incorrectly issue erroneous or outdated badges.

For the usage a badge template must be configured and activated first.

Nit: reword suggestion
"In order to issue a badge to a learner, the badge template must be configured and activated."

Also, I find this a little unclear. Does the badge template need to be configured and activated within Credly AND Credentials? Or is this stating that it must be configured and activated in Credly first before Credentials can use it?

So, the Credentials Badges feature operates exclusively on Credly-ready (configured on the Credly side) badge templates.
To use (start their processing) such synced badge templates one must:

  1. set it's requirements
  2. enable it

My suggestion for improvement here could be:

For a badge template to be considered during the processing it must be configured (to have at least 1 requirement) and activated (enabled) first.

:alt: Credly badge template requirements

A badge template can can have multiple requirements. All badge requirements must be *fulfilled* to earn a badge.

The word can is here twice. We can remove one of them. :)

Nit: Another reword suggestion: "A badge template can have multiple requirements. All badge requirements must be fulfilled before the system will issue a badge to a learner."

Comment on lines +115 to +120
Optional configuration (by default each badge requirement is assigned a separate Group).

Allows putting 2 or more badge requirements as a Group.
Requirements group is fulfilled if any of its requirements is fulfilled.

"OR" logic is applied inside a Group.

Do you think it would be helpful to link to any Credly docs here?

@justinhynes it's not related to the Credly in any way. This is a completely internal processing logic implementation.

Each badge penalty is *targeted* to 1 or more badge requirements.
A penalty setup is similar to a badge requirement, but has different effect: it decreases badge progress for a user.

When a penalty has worked all linked badge requirements are "rolled back" (user's progress for such requirements is reset).

Nit: Maybe we can reword this a bit to make it clearer?

When a penalty has been processed (detected? received?), a learner's progress towards a badge is reset.

@andrii-hantkovskyi let's do like this:

What is Credly?

**Credly** is the end-to-end solution for creating, issuing, and managing digital credentials. Thousands of organizations use **Credly** to recognize achievement.

Nit: Suggest a reword to something like... **Credly** is a end-to-end solution for creating, issuing, and managing digital Credentials. Organizations use **Credly** to recognize their learners' achievements.

I know this is most likely copied and pasted from Credly docs or their website, but it feels like marketing jargon in the Open edX docs.


The Badges application implements its extended ``UserCredential`` version (the CredlyBadge) to track external issuing state. Once the Credly badge is successfully issued the **CredlyBadge is updated with its UUID and state**.

Badge revoking is optional. Business needs. Configuration. And why.

When system revokes a badge, the status of a badge will change from awarded to revoked in the admin panel (admim/badges/credly_badges) as the revoke process is synced with external platform.

Nit: Is the admin panel here talking about Credly? Or the Credentials IDA's Django admin panel? I'm also not sure what "system" we're talking about? Is this the Credentials IDA? or Credly?

I think we can reword this to make it a bit clearer:
"When a learner's badge is revoked by Credly(?), the Credentials IDA will be notified and will update it's internal records. The status of the badge will change from awarded to revoked upon successful revocation."
