Learning Concepts¶

This page explains how to learn concepts through AI-generated articles in Mention.

Opening a concept¶

Click a concept node in the Glossary graph on your learning home to open it. The URL changes to reflect the concept you're viewing within your current Audience.

Prerequisites¶

Some concepts build on others. If a concept has prerequisites you haven't mastered yet, you see a notice before the article loads, listing what to complete first.

You can choose to:

Go back and complete the prerequisites
Show me anyway if you already understand the prerequisite material

Articles¶

When you open a concept, Mention generates a personalized Article for you. The article is created using your organization's source material, so the content is grounded in your actual documentation.

First-time generation¶

The first time you open a concept, the article is generated on demand. You see a brief loading indicator while Mention creates it. After generation, the article is saved and loads instantly on future visits.

Sections¶

Articles are divided into sections, each covering a specific aspect of the concept. Read through each section at your own pace. Sections are designed to be digestible — each focuses on one facet of the concept rather than covering everything at once.

Regenerating the article¶

If the source material has changed and you want a fresh version, use the Regenerate article action. This creates a new article for the concept and resets your progress on it, so use it deliberately.

Knowledge checks¶

At the end of each section, you find a Knowledge Check — a short multiple-choice quiz, one question at a time. Pick the right answer for each; you'll see an explanation per question and a score at the end. You must answer every question correctly to pass the section, and you can retake the quiz if you don't.

Passing every section's knowledge check marks the concept as complete.

For more details on how knowledge checks work, see Knowledge Checks.

While reading an article, use the Q&A footer at the bottom of the page to ask a question about the concept. Mention generates an answer grounded in your organization's source documents, and shows you which sources it drew on.

For more details, see Asking Questions.
