What should I do if I receive an Incomplete Topic Alert?
Sometimes, if you move quickly from one page to the next, the system will not be able to mark that page as read. If you get to the last page in a unit and receive an Incomplete Topic Alert error message that prevents you from continuing, you should open the Index and confirm that every page in the unit has a checkmark. If you see a page without a checkmark, simply select that page and visit it again. You can then use the Index to return to the last page of the unit when all pages are checked and continue with the module. If every page is checked and you still get an error, you can contact Technical Support for assistance.
