Joey Chamberlin
7,401 PointsFeature Request: Reset a course
Does anyone else feel like it would be helpful to review courses and track your progress. I've been going through some old material, but keep getting lost in where I am. So I propose we push for a new feature: Review Completed Courses. You could have a list of courses you have completed and the option next to each to review. This would reset your progress through the course but not take it out of your completed list or remove your badges. Any thoughts?

Daniel Piazza
2,710 PointsI'm hoping for something like this, especially since I forget everything I started in iOS and Ruby.

Stephan Riess
3,764 PointsLike it and want it too. I like to see: -- A total reset switch: Start with a fresh account -- A track reset switch -- Reminder or refreshers for skills already learned (Check duolingo.com, they are doing this perfectly well)

Rasmus Willemoes Paulsen
12,436 PointsI totally agree! A reset button should be easy to make :) It should work like this: Reset track and remove alle points/badges from this track.

Joey Chamberlin
7,401 PointsGood points DT and Rasmus. Let's hope the folks at treehouse are considering this. Haven't heard anything yet.

José Villalobos
Courses Plus Student 1,593 PointsPlease RESET FEATURE!! This would be GREAT! Since I want to go over a course again without getting lost!!

Andrew Hickman

John Michael McCasland
1,173 PointsYes! I would LOVE that!

Stephan Riess
3,764 PointsYou just Actually the treehouse support is able to reset the account. This is how I did it in the end. You just have to ask them. Though, I would still prefer the option as part of the account settings.

David Dong
5,593 PointsI tried it but they didn't help me ;(

Eriko Kawano
51 PointsI would love this feature too please!

Aamir Mirza
25,077 PointsI would love this feature too. I took a long hiatus by beginner's standards (3 weeks) and forgot a lot of my PHP. A restart feature would be useful instead of having to remember where I left off each time I log in.

Travis Bailey
13,675 PointsIf this hasn't been implemented yet I highly recommend it's implemented. The gamification elements Treehouse has built into their learning system is top notch, but we need a way to reset courses we need to take again.

Joey Chamberlin
7,401 PointsTravis & everyone... still think that this is on the back-burners. I agree still that much of the material needs to be repeated, especially in the advanced courses and being able to go back to the quizzes is helpful. I haven't seen anything more from Treehouse.

Jeremy Lindstrom
6,646 PointsI would enjoy this too, I have left off the ios course and would like to go back and start fresh.. Guess I can do that just catch up and redo the quizzes.

Daniel Del Rio
Courses Plus Student 9,032 PointsThis would be a really useful feature for me.

Kenan Xin
16,139 Pointsi would love to have this feature too , and probably some practise questions etc.

Damian Saunders
23,000 PointsYes, I'd like to see that too. I just completed a course but I'm not entirely happy with my understanding of the subject matter. I'd like to reset and redo it until the concepts become clear.

peter doherty
6,690 PointsIs this likely to happen anytime soon, Treehouse folks? If not, I'm going pause my account until it does.

Jay Padzensky
4,731 PointsThanks folks for this idea! I'll be sure to pass it along to the responsible teams for their consideration!

Travis Bailey
13,675 PointsThanks Jay for sending this up. If possible would someone from Treehouse be able to respond in the near future if this is doable / will be done? While the post has received a few responses in the past few days, it is from two years ago.
I know currently we can email support to reset all progress, but there's a limit (twice) and it's also annoying to lose all progress on all courses.
When I first joined Treehouse it was to learn programming, and it's really helped with my job. However, as time goes on I find I need to revisit courses to brush up or relearn and having my former progress saved is actually a hinderance to that relearning process. It's hard for me to mark where I've left off, I have trouble setting a pace without the email reminders (don't show up as course is marked as completed), and while a small feature, I miss the gratification of receiving points as I progress (even if I have to sacrifice those points when I decide to reset).
Introducing the reset feature would go a long ways to making Treehouse a great platform not only to learn new things, but to help relearn topics as well when we get a little rusty on them.

Joey Chamberlin
7,401 PointsJay - as the OP for this issue, I appreciate you taking it on! I agree with @travisbailey2. Over the past two years, I've had to study and then restudy a lot of concepts. This is still important to a lot of your users!

Jay Padzensky
4,731 PointsUpdate (3 Nov): The request was added to our queue of feature requests. To be clear, while this IS progress to enable such a feature, it isn't guaranteed to happen immediately or possibly ever. Our product team will be sorting through the request queue and working on them as appropriate. But again, it is at least going to be looked at by the appropriate teams!

Matthias Seeber
14,167 Pointsdefinitively a great feature

Kenan Xin
16,139 PointsPerhaps even better a revision or some sort of test bank for each course that can be redo unlimited times, probably also a summary page with all the key points and tips. This could be much more time efficient for the purpose of reviewing old material?

Fredrik Dahlgren
2,817 PointsReally missing this right now. Would be a great feature!

Russell Comer
26,102 PointsThis would be a great feature wish I had it now.

Will Macleod
Courses Plus Student 18,780 Pointsany progression? waiting on this, hopefully we get it, only been 2 years :p

Tom Schuster
Courses Plus Student 4,776 PointsI would really appreciate this feature as well.

Juan Alberto Martin Diaz
12,991 PointsSo would I!

Jordy Arnoldussen
2,067 PointsI'd love this too

Michel Joanisse
14,860 PointsYep, I agree. This would certainly be helpful...

AJ Longstreet
Treehouse Project ReviewerThis would make things much easier for reviewing material with the app.

Travis Bailey
13,675 PointsI've been on a break from learning about programming for several months now due to a move. I'm eager to get restarted, but I can't reset my progress again since I've already used my account reset.
Is this feature still in progress?

Tobias Edwards
14,458 PointsUpdate?

Jay Padzensky
4,731 PointsHi all,
I apologize I don't have any update one way or another on this- things here move real quickly and slowly all at the same time! However, I've not forgotten about this, either. I've sent an updated request on behalf of you who have advocated for this process to be implemented. Your patience and understanding is very appreciated!

Travis Bailey
13,675 PointsThanks Jay! I still get excited when I see a new post on this topic. Really hoping something happens soon!

Umair Qaisar
6,257 Pointswould be so useful.

Liam Hammersley
7,991 PointsI would love this as well. I stopped learning about 2 years ago and have only recently picked it back up so there is a heap I have forgotten that I need to go back over. This would make it so much easier.

Felipe Assis
5,996 PointsThis feature would be super awesome!!

Ulrike Pechmann
18,211 PointsThis would be super useful! Please implement this feature!

Rich Burroughs
5,521 PointsI'd like to add my support for this. Just came back after months away and I want to repeat some things. Some other places I've taken classes have this feature and it's very handy.

Travis Bailey
13,675 PointsWanted to resurrect this post for visibility. Haven't seen much progress on this feature for awhile. Is it still under consideration? I came back from another 2-month break and could have really made use of resetting course progress. I'm also still seeing posts in the forums from users looking for this functionality.
I've exhausted my account resets, but I'm aware of that option. I'd just be interested in a course by course reset as I don't want to lose all my progress.

John Eze
3,211 Points+1 to this. I'm experiencing an issue where several courses in a track seemed to have automatically progressed. I'm attempting to just work my way through it, but it's quite jarring to end a segment and jump to another unrelated segment.

Edu Sagastume
192 PointsYes to this idea. I have recently reactivated my account after 2 years, It would be easier to start from scratch.

Rob Allessi
8,600 PointsThis feature request is still on the books, but we don't have an ETA to share at this time. To those of you who remember us having the feature in the past, you're not dreaming — we had the feature for years. But there was a backend data issue with it that was causing more problems than it was solving and we had to remove it.
We want to bring this feature back and we will in due time, but it is not something we will rush. We have a list of priorities that we have to stick to and unfortunately, some requests and additions we'd like to add get moved both up and down on this list.
When this feature is reintroduced, we will let everyone know and I will also update this thread. Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding.

Alex Naber
1,645 PointsThanks for the update. Seems like there is quite a bit of interest for this, and is a pretty essential feature that Udacity and many other online education sites have. Hopefully it finds its way to the top of the priority list soon ;)

Rob Allessi
8,600 PointsThis feature has now returned. If anyone would like a course reset, simply send an email to help@teamtreehouse.com. :)

Travis Bailey
13,675 PointsWhen you say course reset, do you mean we can ask a certain course can be reset, or does our entire account have to be reset? Two very different things.
Nevermind :) Just tried it and support said they could reset just my course! Thanks for getting this implemented! I agree with Joey though. Would be awesome if Treehouse could make this something students can do on their own. Wouldn't have to tie up your support team with reset requests either that way.

Alex Naber
1,645 PointsVery cool, thanks

Joey Chamberlin
7,401 PointsRob - That's a great start! Glad to see that this thread stayed alive and that your team stayed engaged. I think you could take it the rest of the way by allowing students to do this for themselves.

Glenré Charl Labuschagné
23,204 PointsI don't want a reset feature, but rather a retake course—not loosing any earned points. Trust me, I use my points as a reference point and loosing my progress & data would be heart crushing!
