Courses and Learn
Course setup and lessons
Configure a Course or Reference, arrange its lessons or chapters, and understand mode changes.
Use the Course builder to organize a learning project in Library. Courses use Lessons; References use Chapters. You need edit access to the folder, content authoring in its workspace, and available storage. Archived projects must be restored before editing.
Configure the project
- Open the Course or Reference for editing, then select Setup.
- Enter its Name and optional Description.
- Choose Mode: Course for ordered learning with completion and optional assessments, or Reference for freely navigated chapters.
- Optionally upload a Cover image and choose an Accent color and Background.
- For a Course, set certificate Expiration.
- Wait for Saved, then use Preview to inspect the appearance.
A name can contain up to 255 characters and a description up to 20,000. The builder initially opens the first lesson or chapter; select Setup to return to project settings.
Set appearance and certificate options
Cover uploads accept PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP files up to 50 MB. Check that processing finishes. Clear cover removes the project's cover selection; it does not remove images inside lessons.
Background choices are Neutral, Soft, and Gradient. Changing the accent or background also updates the corresponding certificate appearance. An existing custom accent can appear as the current color; choose from the offered colors to replace it.
Certificate expiration can be Never expires or 6, 12, 24, 48, 60, or 120 months. References have no completion certificate. These settings belong to the draft; publishing a release is a separate action.
Add and arrange sections
- Select the add control beside Lessons or Chapters.
- Enter the Lesson title or Chapter title and optional Short description.
- Use Add content for Text, Image, Audio, Video, Catalog link, or a Course Quiz. A lesson supports at most one Quiz.
- Drag a section's grip handle to change its order. Use an item's grip to reorder content within the selected section.
- Wait for Saved and inspect the result in Preview.
For keyboard ordering, focus the grip, press Space or Enter, use Arrow Up/Down or Home/End, then Space or Enter to drop. Escape cancels.
To remove a section, use its delete control and confirm. Its content is removed too. The only remaining section cannot be removed; add another first. An individual content item's remove control removes it directly.
Change modes carefully
Changing a Course with assessments to Reference requires confirmation. It removes every lesson Quiz and the final exam, clears certificate expiration, preserves other content, and relabels Lessons as Chapters. Switching back does not restore the removed assessments or expiration.
Check saving and publishing readiness after conversion: a section containing only a Quiz may now be empty. Finish or cancel pending inline-image operations before changing mode or reordering.
