Tutor LMS Certificate writes each issued certificate to wp_tutor_earned_certificates with course, user, template, and verification-id columns, while template definitions live in wp_posts (post_type=tutor_certificate). The default certificate admin lists template designs; per-issuance audit logs and revocation workflows are not part of the built-in admin surface.

SleekView reads tutor_earned_certificates directly so admins can build an issuance log filterable by course, template, and date range. A revocation queue surfaces any rows where the recipient's enrolment was refunded or the course content has been updated, with one-click revocation that writes a tombstone row rather than deleting the original (preserving the audit trail). A verification-ID lookup view turns the hash-style ID into a first-class searchable column so support can verify external certificate URLs without leaving the WP admin.

Inline edits route through Tutor LMS's certificate API where supported (re-issue, revoke, change template). Direct table writes are available for back-fills like correcting historical issuance dates. Capability gating ensures only certificate admins can revoke or re-issue while support and finance get read-only audit access.

Certificates are the credential side of an LMS, and credentials demand auditability that template-management screens don't provide. Tutor LMS Certificate writes each issuance to a real table with a real verification ID, which is exactly what compliance auditors and external verification consumers need, but the default admin surface focuses on designing templates rather than on browsing what's been issued. Compliance admins should be able to filter the full issuance log by course and date range without writing SQL.

Support reps should be able to paste a verification ID from a recipient's email and confirm authenticity in one screen. Finance teams running refunds need a revocation queue that writes tombstone rows rather than deleting evidence, because credible audit trails are non-negotiable for accredited programs. SleekView's job is to turn tutor_earned_certificates into the workspace those teams actually need, with hooks firing through Tutor LMS's API when wanted and direct writes available for back-fills, all gated by WordPress capabilities so revoke-and-re-issue power doesn't leak to read-only roles.
