# How do I use the course Outcomes page in Improved Outcomes Management?

Outcomes are used to track mastery in a course. From the Outcomes page, you can create and manage outcomes, create and manage outcome groups, and import outcomes.

This lesson displays how to use the Outcomes page in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.
