You can link to the coaching advisor content from a textarea field in either development goals or learning activities:

When clicking on this link, the window that appears shows the competencies for the employee's role, which the user can then drill down on to find coaching advisor content to include in the text field (like the coaching advisor behavior on a review form):

To enable/disable linking to coaching advisor content you would need to engage your Implementation Partner or open a request with Cloud Product Support via case (Component LOD-SF-CDP-SCR), as it will require a Configuration Change in the XML code of your Development Plan or Learning Activity templates.

Partners & Cloud Support Only

To enable the coaching advisor link on textarea fields, the option "Writing Assistant" must be enabled on Provisioning and set "field-show-coaching-advisor" to true:

<field-definition id="fieldName" type="textarea" required="false" detail="false" viewdefault="on" showlabel="false" field-show-coaching-advisor="true">

And to disable the coaching advisor link on textarea fields, set "field-show-coaching-advisor" to false:

<field-definition id="fieldName" type="textarea" required="false" detail="false" viewdefault="on" showlabel="false" field-show-coaching-advisor="false">

NOTE: To disable Writing Assistant, disable the feature option on Provisioning > Company Settings.
