If you are a Compliance Plus customer, you will also have access to a variety of compliance content in the ModStore. This content addresses important topics such as sexual harassment, discrimination, and business ethics. We regularly update this content to ensure your organization's specific legislative requirements are covered.

What Is the Retiring Soon Tag?

We aim to offer the most up-to-date security awareness and compliance content. To ensure that your users are receiving up-to-date content, we must retire outdated content from the ModStore. Content with the Retiring Soon tag will be removed from the ModStore.

The Retiring Soon tag is used throughout the console to indicate active content that will soon be removed from the ModStore. You may see this tag in the following locations:

• On the Library subtab, when you view content with the Active status.
• On Campaigns subtab under the Training tab. If a training campaign includes content that is retiring soon, the Retiring Soon tag will display in the Content column.
• On the Create New Training Campaign page, when you select assignments from the Content drop-down menu.

For information about retired content, see the Retired and Archived Content section of this article.

Retired and Archived Content

To ensure all of the content in the ModStore meets our quality standards, we periodically retire out-of-date content. For content published by KnowBe4, you can typically find an updated version of the content in the ModStore, before the older version is retired. 

For third-party content, we recommend that you search the ModStore for newer content that covers the same topics. See our Retiring Third-Party Content article for more information.

The Retired status indicates the content is no longer available in the ModStore but can still be used in new training campaigns. Retired content will eventually become archived. The Archived status indicates the content is no longer available in the ModStore, can't be downloaded, and can't be used in new training campaigns. If an active training campaign includes archived content that was published by KnowBe4, the campaign will not be impacted.

If you added content to your Library before it was retired or archived, that content will be listed as hidden. To view this content in your library, click on the Status drop-down filter. Then, click the Show Hidden Items toggle and select either All, Retired, or Archived. 

From your library, you can view the Item Details page for any retired or archived content. Retired content can be previewed and downloaded. Archived content that was published by KnowBe4 can also be previewed. All archived content, regardless of publisher, will be unavailable for download.
