LD Courses Pro is an add-on for LearnDash, so the canonical data sits in LearnDash structures: courses as sfwd-courses posts, progress in learndash_user_activity, and quiz attempts in the learndash_pro_quiz_* family. LD Courses Pro layers on additional fields stored as wp_postmeta on the course post (cohort tags, instructor mappings, advanced gating). The default admin gives a friendly per-course screen and a per-student profile view, which is fine for occasional review and painful for catalogue-wide ops.

SleekView reads sfwd-courses, the LearnDash activity tables, and LD Courses Pro postmeta directly. A catalogue view lists every course with its instructor, cohort, enrolment count, and completion rate as first-class columns. A per-student progress view joins learndash_user_activity with LD Courses Pro cohort meta so instructors filter to their cohort and grade the queue in one screen. A stalled-learner view filters where activity_status != 1 and the last update is older than a chosen threshold.

Inline edits to LearnDash activity route through LearnDash's APIs where supported, so the standard learndash_ hooks fire and integrations behave normally. Direct-table writes skip hooks for back-fill scenarios. Multisite installations get per-subsite scoped views automatically.

LearnDash is a workhorse for WordPress-based learning programs, and add-ons like LD Courses Pro extend it for organisations whose catalogue, cohort structures, and instructor workflows outgrow stock LearnDash. The data is well-shaped: courses as a CPT, progress as indexed activity rows, quizzes in dedicated tables. The friction shows up at the workspace layer, where the default admin is per-course-screen for catalogue management and per-student-profile for progress review.

Instructors managing a cohort want a per-cohort progress table sorted by stalled progress, not a series of student profiles. LMS admins doing course iteration want catalogue-wide completion rates filtered by cohort and time period. Customer success agents want per-student histories with cohort and instructor context visible during calls.

SleekView's job is to expose sfwd-courses, the LearnDash activity tables, and LD Courses Pro's extension meta as composable views. Same data, role-specific column sets, no ProPanel dependency.
