Issue completion certificates

Tell me how to issue completion certificates.
Please refer to the page "Acount issuing completion certificates".
The "Issue Certificate " button is not effective.
You must pass all the Online tests and fill the questionnaires.
After logging in, please check your course status from the page that opens from the "Certificate Issuance/Check Course History" link in "My Page " at the top left of the screen.
I cannot press the issue button for an already issued certificate of completion.
If a course is added after a certificate of completion has been issued, the certificate of completion will be temporarily unavailable.
If you wish to issue a certificate of completion, you will be able to issue it again after you have completed viewing the added lectures, answering the questionnaire, and completing the end-of-chapter test (if available).
The date on the certificate of completion is still old.
If you require a certificate issued on a new date, you will need to retake and pass the test.
