As the issuer, you can add evidence to your recipients' credentials during the publishing process.

Including Evidence

Giving further context to learning is one of the great things about digital credentials. As the issuer, you can provide further information alongside your recipients' certificates to make their digital credentials even more valuable.

Using a Spreadsheet

Add evidence using the spreadsheet publishing method. For more information on how to publish credentials by uploading your recipients' data spreadsheet, here is our article: Publish Credentials via Spreadsheet.
