Using the Updated Course Editor for Memberships
What is the Updated Course Editor?
The updated course editor provides a streamlined workspace for building and managing courses within your CRM's Memberships feature. It offers a spacious editing environment designed to keep your entire course structure visible while you work on individual components.
Key Benefits
- Focused Workspace: The editor minimizes distractions by occupying most of your screen and hiding unrelated interface elements.
- Efficient Navigation: Instantly access any lesson or quiz directly from the course structure panel.
- Contextual Awareness: Breadcrumbs at the top show your current location within the course hierarchy.
- Flexible Organization: Rearrange content easily using drag-and-drop functionality and collapse or expand sections as needed.
How to Use the Course Editor
Step 1: Open the Editor
Navigate to Memberships and select Courses. Choose the course you wish to edit, and the editor will open in a large workspace.
Step 2: Understand the Layout
When the editor opens, you'll see two main areas:
- Left Panel (Course Map): Displays your complete course structure like a table of contents
- Main Editor Area: Shows the currently selected item for editing
Step 3: Reorder Course Content
In the course map panel, click and drag any item to a new position within your course structure. Release to drop the item in its new location.
Step 4: Collapse and Expand Sections
Click on modules or sub-sections to collapse them when you want to focus on specific areas. Expand them again to view the complete structure.
Step 5: Use Status Indicators and Quick Actions
The course map displays status indicators (such as published, draft, or locked) for each content item and provides quick action buttons for editing, deleting, or changing visibility.
