Add badges to a backpack manually

If required, you can add your acquired badges to your external backpack manually. Here we will add a badge from the Totara Academy to an external backpack, Badgr.

Firstly you need to download the badge from Totara by following these steps:

1. Navigate to your user profile from the top-right corner of the navigation bar.
2. Scroll down to the Badges section.
3. Click a badge to select it.
4. Click the Download button to download your badge as a PNG.

Next you need to access your external backpack to add your badge. If you haven't already set up an account for an external backpack, you need to do this now.

It's important that you use the same email address for the backpack that you used for the Totara site, as the emails must match for the badge to be registered.

1. Navigate to Badgr.com and create an account (or log in) using the same email address as your Totara account.
2. Go to the Backpack tab, then select Add Badge.
3. Drag and drop your downloaded badge PNG into the Add Badge dialog box.
4. Click Add Badge to save the badge to your backpack.

If the email address linked to the badge does not match the email address, you will receive a warning that the upload has failed.
