Why is my clip completion status wrong?

TOP

There are several reasons why your clip status can be wrong:

  • The status is updated when you navigate away from a clip/section, so won't be visible straight away.
  • You only get a Completed status by watching a clip all the way to the end. You have to wait until you see the Next button flash red before a clip is considered complete.
