Hi @digitalbadge and welcome. Have you checked out the credentials repo and its documentation?

@sarina  
Can you follow up on this and confirm that the new Badges feature works starting with the Teak release?

I was looking at the release notes and it was underneath Teak.

> **[Credentials (Badging) — Latest documentation](https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/community/release_notes/teak/credentials.html)**

**Would the updated Badges feature work with Sumac?**

Looking around, I noticed this Tutor plugin indicates that it would work with Sumac (v19) but I cannot tell if that’s the only code that would work for badging, and that I’m missing something else entirely.

@Zachary_Trabookis I did not develop the Credentials plugin. I would say the README /docs probably has the most up-to-date information that I know of.

We’re currently on the Sumac release but are considering upgrading to Teak anyhow. Does Badging backport to Sumac or should we just start off with Teak to use this feature?

The plugins theoretically works on Sumac release but it was never tested on it since the Accredible support was added only for Teak release and the plugins was created particularly for this support.  
We discussed this topic here: [Is this plugin available in Sumac? · Issue #5 · raccoongang/tutor-contrib-badges · GitHub](https://github.com/raccoongang/tutor-contrib-badges/issues/5)

I believe you can try to setup the plugin on Sumac with the modification mentioned the issue above.

I did quick smoke like testing with Sumac almost a year ago but I did not test the real integration. And I’m happy to help you to try it out!

P.S. And I’m going to add the Ulmo support.
