I started the Marketing Software certification awhile ago and want to complete it. It’s no longer showing the instructions for “Create an active list” practical excercise. Where can I find this information?

Hello @MBorling.,

Thank you for reaching out to the academy community page! I’m happy to help out with this. The directions are as follows:

Create an active list in HubSpot. You can use these lists to group contacts in order to provide more context.  
Navigate to your lists home screen by selecting Contacts \> Lists.  
Select Create list.  
Name your list, select Active list, and click Next.  
Select your active list criteria. For example, Contact Property = Email = is known.  
Once you’re happy with the filters you’ve selected, click Apply.  
Then, click Save.

Thank you!
