Credentials can now include Skills and Earning Criteria, helping issuers show not just that someone earned a credential, but what that credential represents and how it was achieved. These details can be added during document creation or updated later, making it easier to keep credential information accurate, useful, and relevant over time.

With this update, issuers can make credentials more informative by adding:

• Skills to highlight the key abilities, competencies, or areas of knowledge the credential holder possesses

• Earning Criteria to explain what the recipient had to do to earn it, such as completing a course, passing an assessment, demonstrating a skill, or meeting any other specific requirement

• Supporting links to add further context where needed

This helps recipients better understand and present their achievements, while also giving employers, institutions, and other viewers a clearer picture of the value behind each credential. Recipients will also now see dedicated sections for Skills, Earning Criteria, and About Issuing Authority whenever this information is available, adding more depth and credibility to the credential experience.
