How to Tag Courses in Sparkforge Communities Posts and Comments

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

In Sparkforge Communities, type # in any post or comment editor to open a course picker. Pick a course and it inserts as a clickable tag that takes members directly to the course page.

Tagging courses inside Communities makes conversations actionable. Members type # to surface a course in any post or comment, and the tag renders as a clickable label that navigates straight to the course.

What Course Tagging Does

Anyone composing a post or comment can reference an existing course by typing # and selecting it from a searchable picker. The tag appears with a course icon, and clicking it takes the reader to the course page based on its visibility and access settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can tag a course in Communities?

Any member who can create a post or comment in the group can add course tags. Whether they can view the course after clicking depends on the course's visibility and access settings.

Which courses appear in the # picker?

Only courses available to the member based on visibility and access settings. Clear naming and search terms make courses easier to find in the picker.
