When you create a new topic, it inherits the required percentage for Know It? mode from the defaults set in the Options dialog box. This percentage is the score a user needs to achieve in order to pass the assessment for the current topic. You can enter any value between 0 and 100.

There may be some specific topics for which you want to change the passing percentage. You may want to lower it for certain difficult tasks or raise it for common tasks. You can change the required percentage for Know It? mode for one or more topics using the Know It Required % property in the Properties toolpane. You can type any value between 0 and 100 and it is not necessary to type the % sign.

Note: If all of the topics in a multiple selection are assigned the same required percentage, the value appears in the Know It Required % property cell. If the topics have different percentages assigned, the Know It Required % property cell appears blank.

Warning! Be careful when changing a property for multiple documents that already contain values for the same property. The new values you enter for the property overwrite any existing values for all selected documents.

Note: Changing default Know It? options in the Options dialog box affects new topics only.

To change the Know It Required % for a topic:

1. Display the Properties toolpane.
    
2. In the Library or Outline Editor, select the topic(s) whose required percentage you want to change.
    
   You can select multiple documents using the standard Windows selection keys (CTRL+click and SHIFT+click).
    
3. In the Topic category, click the Know It Required % cell.
    
4. Type a value between 0 and 100 and press ENTER or click outside the cell.
