# Discipleship remembers every formation step

> Members and church teams can review pathway history, preserve certificates, and begin new formation cycles without losing earlier progress.

# Discipleship remembers every formation step

Discipleship now keeps a lasting formation history when a member completes or
repeats a pathway. Earlier progress, curriculum versions, completion dates,
and certificates remain available instead of being replaced by the newest
enrollment.

## One timeline across pathways

Church teams can open **Formation History** to review enrollment cycles across
membership, baptism, new-believer, serving, leadership, and custom pathways.
They can search and filter the timeline, inspect the exact pathway version used
for each cycle, and open its certificate record.

Members have their own Formation History in the mobile app, with a concise
summary and a cycle-by-cycle view of progress and certificates.

## Repeat pathways with church-defined rules

Admins and assigned teachers can decide whether members may repeat a pathway
and set a waiting period after completion. Open pathways can begin immediately
when eligible, approval-based pathways return to staff review, and invite-only
pathways remain teacher-controlled.

Authorized staff can also start a fresh cycle from Formation History when a
member needs help. The new cycle uses the current published curriculum while
the member's earlier record remains unchanged.

The pathway library also includes a new church-editable **Serving
foundations** starting point.

Read the [Discipleship product guide](/product/discipleship) to configure repeat
rules and review formation history.
