Note: The admin must save or update the certificate before previewing the latest changes. Admins will see two buttons for previewing the certificate: “Preview Certificate with Placeholders” “Preview Certificate with Static Values” Preview Certificate with Placeholders In this preview mode, shortcodes within the certificate will be replaced with placeholders. Example, [courseinfo show=”course_title”] will replace with “{course_title}” Placeholders will represent dynamic elements such as course, group, lesson, quiz, or user information. User-related shortcodes will reference LearnDash default values. Preview Certificate with Static Values In this mode, shortcodes within the certificate will be replaced with static sample data. Example, [courseinfo show=”course_title”] will replace with {course_title} “Digital Marketing Essentials” Instead of placeholders, the preview will display sample course, group, lesson, quiz, and user data. This helps admins visualize how the final certificate might appear for an actual user.
