When creating a Step, a level of difficulty needs to be assigned to determine the maximum potential reward your learners can earn when they successfully complete it. Fewer rewards for simple stuff, and mega rewards for really hard ones!
This handy guide will help you decide which difficulty level to choose for each of your Steps, so learners will be rewarded appropriately for the hard (or not so hard) work they put in.
