Hi Rod Falanga,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. Let's address your concerns one by one.

Question 1: Getting Credit for Completed Module

To ensure you receive credit for the module you've completed, please follow these steps:

Sign in to Microsoft Learn: Go to Microsoft Learn and sign in with the same account you initially used for the GitHub Copilot challenge.

Navigate to the Challenge: Locate the GitHub Copilot challenge module you completed and click on it.

Click on the "Resume" Button: Instead of starting over, you should see a "Resume" button. Click on this to continue from where you left off.

Verify Your Progress: Microsoft Learn should recognize your progress and grant you credit for the completed module.

If these steps don't work, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then sign in again. This can often resolve issues with session data.

Question 2: Logging Back into the Module

To log back into the module and resume where you left off, follow these instructions:

Sign in to Microsoft Learn: Make sure you’re signed in with the same account you initially used.

Access the Challenge: Navigate to the GitHub Copilot challenge module you were working on.

Click on the "Resume" Button: Look for the "Resume" button to continue from where you left off.

If you’re still being prompted to start over, consider the following:

Double-check that you're signed in with the correct account.

Ensure you’re accessing the same challenge module.

Clear your browser cache and cookies, then sign in again.

Your frustration is completely understandable, and I hope these steps help you get back on track. Keeping your GitHub repository safe is important, as it contains all your work from the challenge. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi VarunTha,

Thank you for your reply to my questions!!!

I have returned to the Microsoft Learn website, then logged into it. But then I got stopped at the second step, "Navigate to the Challenge". I don't see any link on that page to navigate to the challenge. Here's what I see:

So, I go back to my question, I don't think I should register to take a challenge, because I have already registered. And like I said previously, when I click on the "Register now" button it wants me to start over again as though I haven't registered. Please help me as whatever path I should take to get to navigating to the challenge is not easily discoverable.

Hi Rod Falanga,
Thank you for reaching out and providing more details about the issue you're facing!

It sounds like you're encountering some trouble navigating to the GitHub Copilot challenge on the Microsoft Learn website. Let's try to resolve this step-by-step:

Access Your Profile:

Once you're logged into Microsoft Learn, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the page.

From the dropdown menu, select "Profile".

Navigate to Your Training:

On your profile page, there should be a sub-menu. Click on "Training".

This section lists all the learning paths and challenges you've started.

Locate the GitHub Copilot Challenge:

Look through your training activities to find the GitHub Copilot challenge you mentioned.

Click on the challenge to resume it from where you left off.

If you still can't find the challenge, there might be a glitch with your registration status. In that case, I would recommend:

Checking Your Email: Sometimes, you might receive a direct link to the challenge or further instructions in your email after registration.

Clearing Cache and Cookies: Occasionally, browser issues can prevent pages from displaying correctly.

Trying a Different Browser: Sometimes switching to a different browser can resolve navigation issues.

If none of these steps work, please let me know, and we can explore further options together. Your learning experience is important, and I'm here to ensure you can continue smoothly.

Hi @VarunTha

Thank you for the additional instructions. I never knew that menu with a link on the left for Activity, Training, Plans, etc. was there!!! I need the first module (Introduction to GitHub Copilot), which is all I've done so far, listed. It shows that it is 17 minutes and says I've completed it. So, that is encouraging!

I'm going to click on the Introduction to GitHub Copilot, which I presume will take me back into the course. However, just so I understand how I need to proceed through the training, I think I should leave myself logged into Microsoft Learn, in one browser instance. And be going through the GitHub course, in another browser instance. I'm guessing that either my finishing a course in GitHub will be communicated to Microsoft Learn, or at some periodic interval Microsoft Learn will query my progress in my GitHub account. (I use the same Microsoft Account for both Microsoft Learn and GitHub.) If my understanding is wrong, please correct me. And for a couple days I'd like to keep this issue open, please.

Hi Rod Falanga,

I'm thrilled to hear that you were able to find the GitHub Copilot challenge in your training activities! It's great that you've completed the first module, and you should be able to resume where you left off.

Regarding your understanding of how to proceed through the training, you're on the right track! It's a good idea to keep yourself logged into Microsoft Learn in one browser instance and work on the GitHub course in another browser instance. This will allow you to easily switch between the two platforms.

As for how your progress is tracked, you're correct that Microsoft Learn will periodically query your progress in your GitHub account. Since you're using the same Microsoft Account for both platforms, your progress should be synced automatically. When you complete a module or the entire course, Microsoft Learn should recognize your progress and grant you credit accordingly.

Feel free to keep this issue open for the next couple of days, and if you encounter any further issues or have questions, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help you succeed in the GitHub Copilot challenge!
