About the Content Quality dashboard
The Content Quality dashboard provides you with an overall view of potential quality issues within your courses, allowing you to understand what to update for a better learning experience.
You can review dashboard metrics to monitor your courses’ content quality, so you can better understand what to update or improve for a better learning experience.

How to access the Content Quality dashboard
You can find the Content Quality dashboard as part of the Instructor Performance features:
1. Navigate to the course page (Learn how).
2. Click Performance on the left-hand side.
3. Select Content Quality.
Content Quality page features
On the Content Quality dashboard, you can view data on learner feedback and review flags on potentially outdated content.
The summary table provides a snapshot of how each of your courses is performing in terms of content quality. You can sort or filter this table to quickly find courses and address issues needing attention.
All learner feedback is analyzed daily. The algorithm runs once per day, and the last updated date appears in the interface.
The table includes the following:
Course name: The name of your course (clickable for deeper insights).
Avg. content age: An average calculated based on the age of each curriculum item in your course. This metric shows how old your course is, which may or may not signal outdated content depending on multiple factors, such as your subject domain.
- Please note: Though we understand that some domains are evergreen and don't need frequent updates, you can use this metric to understand the age of some courses compared to your other courses, to better create an action plan.
Course rating: Your course’s average rating, with recent changes over the past 30 days indicated.
Date created: When the course was created, or the date the instructor began creating a course on Udemy.
Last update: The most recent update to your course or content.
Flagged feedback: The number of feedback items flagged by the system for your review. You can learn more about this feature below.
Access Flagged feedback
The AI algorithm analyzes all learner input received through reviews, Q&As, fast feedback features, and AI assistant conversations, flagging feedback that contains signals about course quality.
Please note: The feature is currently focused on surfacing outdated content. We hope to expand to other categories, such as low-quality AI-generated content, audio problems, and readability issues, in the near future.
To view the flagged feedback, click on the flag number to view the list of flagged feedback for that specific course.
Flagged feedback features
The flagged feedback section includes the following information.
Flag details: Shows the learner’s feedback, the type of content (such as Q&A), and the curriculum item on which the feedback is given.
Status: Each flag can be marked as Open, Resolved, or Dismissed to help track your progress.
Date received: The date when the feedback was flagged.
Last update: Shows when you or another instructor last updated related course content.
Use the filters at the top of the page to view flags by source, status, or a specific date range. You can also use the dropdown at the very top to select a single course.
Manage Feedback Status
You can use the checkboxes located to the left of each piece of feedback to bulk select feedback items and update their status:
Dismiss: If you believe the AI flagged feedback inaccurately and there's no problem with your content
Resolve: If you've taken action and updated your content based on the feedback.
Both actions remove the flag, and the flag count updates accordingly.
We recommend visiting the dashboard frequently to monitor key quality issues and plan fixes.
What is Fast Feedback?
At the end of each section, learners are prompted to rate the section with a thumbs up or thumbs down, referred to as Fast Feedback.
These quick ratings are analyzed together with reviews, Q&A, and AI assistant conversations. When Fast Feedback suggests a potential quality or freshness issue, it will appear in the Flagged feedback section described above.
