Frequently asked questions : Libraries
How do I find a particular Tuto in a library?
Collapsed List View allows you to quickly browse an overview of all the sections in the library with a short description of what is in that section. To open a section, you click on the right down arrow. You will now see all the Tutos for that section in an expanded view. Click on a Tuto to open it.
Picture Tile View shows you all the individual Tutos with a descriptive title. Click directly on any of the tiles to open the Tuto.
Once you have chosen your individual Tuto you are now in the Course Player.
The Course Player Menu works by expanding or collapsing sections of the library in a list view to the left of the Tuto you are watching. . You can scroll the whole list for an overview or click on a section to expand it. You can then click on any Tuto in that list to view it.
The Tuto that you are currently viewing will be highlighted in the Course Player on your left.

Introducing the Course Player
You will see it even has its own navigation menu that only shows you the course or library that you are studying at that moment.
If you would like to move between libraries or visit other parts of the site, you will need to exit The Course Player first.
Navigating the Course Player
How do I switch between libraries?
You can also navigate to Bonjour Brilliance, any Library and any other course you are enrolled on from your My Study page.
If you are coming from inside the Course Player you will first need to follow the back button to the Course Overview page.

How do I go back to where I was in a library?
Select the image for the library you would like to return to and you will be taken back to the last Tuto you were studying in the Course Player.
How do I browse a library for inspiration?
Think of the sections as you would a book shop, or a physical library and the Tutos as books. Browse the sections either by Collapsed List View or Picture Tile View and find a level or a topic that sparks your interest.
I also give recommendations in live classes and RDV Tuto Videos.
Remember though that you are moving through it one Tuto at a time, as you would a book or an episode of your favourite box set.

1. My Study page Progress Section will show you the overall percentage progression by Library
