Not clear meaning

Not clear meaning
Some concepts are not explained anywhere and I don't know what they are needed for.
when entering a new course, there is an option to mark: "skip module pages". What is it? What does that skip? What is it for? I don't understand what exactly it is used for. What module and where is it skipped? What will it change? I don't understand the meaning, please explain.

This option will be used when you go to a Course >> Content tab >> open each course >> if you enable this option, it will skip some modules pages:

reznickova1

Please give me a more detailed explanation.
why should some modules be skipped? In what case is it appropriate? Give an example - I don't know when it could be used.
Why will the teacher insert lessons that will then be skipped? In what situations are modules skipped and why?

reznickova1 I think you can download a quickstart package of Guru here: https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/ijoomla/guru/guru-pro-com

and install in your local with sample data, then you can see the sample 🙂

I used the quick start at the beginning. It was not known what good it is if some modules are skipped. Why are the modules there if they are then skipped? I don't understand this.
I now have the Guru environment partially set up for my needs and I can't waste so many hours of work. I'm not going to reinstall faststart.

I asked you for an explanation. Why don't you explain it to me? If the course has any features and settings, you should have a tutorial for everything and an explanation for everything.
I am asking you again, tell me in what situation it is used that some modules are skipped. After all, if the student is not supposed to have the module there, then why does the teacher enter the module there. After all, they don't have to put it there at all, if it is skipped afterwards. There's no logic to that. And if it makes sense, tell me. Because it's not clear to me. My teachers will ask me what it is, so I need to know so I can explain it to them.
Please take some time to explain why it is appropriate to skip modules and in what cases they are skipped.

If you install the sample data with quickstart package of Guru, and see my screenshot above, when you enable to skip module pages, some of pages like: Creating your course, Adding stuff will be skipped when you click back / next button in this popup. This option is used for this case only, and as I mentioned, if you have sample data, you will see how it works.

I understand how it works, that when the button is clicked, the modules are skipped. But I don't understand why it should be done, what's the point of skipping something. why is it skipping, what is the reason for it.
I'm not going to install anything demo, I did that at the beginning and now I have everything almost set to my needs and I'd ruin it if I reinstalled quickstart.
I just want a little something from you so why don't you answer me and keep referring me to view the demo. Please answer me what the reason can be for skipping modules, why they should be skipped. What's the point of skipping a module?

reznickova1 You may already know that Guru was developed by former team of iJoomla and we acquired this extension. This feature was developed by them and it's still there. There is module page that some users want to skip so they added this option. Of course, if you don't want to skip any thing, just leave it there 🙂

It's not about me, it's about my future teachers on this site. They will ask me why it is there. I can't tell them I don't know, ignore it and don't put a skip there. They're going to ask me to explain what it's for and I don't know because you haven't explained it to me.
One thing is not clear to me, namely:
If something should be skipped, then why should it be inserted there first. If the lessons aren't supposed to be there, then they shouldn't be given there. What's the point of putting lessons in there that won't show up because they'll be skipped? This doesn't make sense to me, that's why I keep asking and still don't get it.
What is the point of inserting modules or lessons into a course that are then skipped?
Can you explain it to me in detail, like a complete moron? I will have to answer the same question to my teachers. I will have many teachers and they will ask about everything that is not clear to them. Should I tell them: skip it because I don't know the purpose myself?
Don't you know that either? Ask the original creators.

And after your answer, I have one more question:
Since you took over Guru, will you be making updates and possibly new features? Will it be possible for Joomla4 to have a chat in GURU as for Joomla3? Isn't it a problem that you took over Guru from iJoomla? They will no longer update the Guru component? Will you update it? Won't it be a problem later that it stops working? I have many hours of work on it, it will cost me a lot of money and I don't want it to be broken in a year. Do you guarantee updates? There haven't been any for a very long time, although GURU has a lot of bugs in the Joomla4 version that you should fix with an update. Not everyone knows how to constantly intervene in the programming part and modify codes. How will this be with Guru in the future? Does it matter that I deal with it? Or should I look for another component for courses? I'm at the beginning, I'm still setting it up, there's still time to change the component. Please answer me truthfully so I don't do it all unnecessarily.

Also, I apologize if my words are not always completely understandable, but I do not know English, I use Google translator. Google Translate sometimes translates quite strangely, badly.

reznickova1 I got your point, what I meant was that this skip feature was implemented based on the request of our customers, you may not like it or it doesn't make sense but others required it so it's implemented there. It's optional so that's why I said you can select that option or leave it there. A feature of extension can be useful for some people but maybe useless for others, I think it's normal, we just tried to bring all options for our customers.

And yes, after acquiring Guru, we're still updating it for Joomla 4. If you have new features that you can recommend, we always welcome it 🙂
