Add, arrange, and move lessons and modules

Select Add module at the bottom of the outline. The new module goes at the end with the name Module and its number, and it opens on the canvas so you can type a real title and a description. The count beside the button shows how many of the 30 modules the course uses.

To rename a lesson or a module in the outline, double-click its title, or open the row's three-dot menu and select Rename. Press Enter to save, or press Esc to keep the old title. You can also edit the title at the top of the canvas while the lesson or module is selected.

Drag a row by its handle, the six dots at its start. While you drag, a line marks where the row will drop, and Esc cancels the move. The outline scrolls when you drag near its top or bottom edge.

A lesson can move within its module or into another one, and with a mouse you can also drag a lesson from anywhere on its row. A module moves from its handle and takes its lessons with it. Members follow the outline order, and Complete and continue opens the next lesson in it.

The three-dot menu on each row does the same job from a keyboard or a touch screen, where the menu button always shows.

Members see nothing of a draft course until its first Publish, so arrange it as often as you like.

On a published course, each add, rename, move, and delete is saved as a change that members do not see until you select Publish changes. Until then, new lessons and modules carry a New tag and changed ones show a dot. Discard changes in the top bar's three-dot menu returns the studio to the course members see now.

Each lesson gets a number when you add it, and its address ends in that number. Moving the lesson, even into another module, keeps the number, so a link in a post or an email still opens the same lesson. The position members see, in the form Lesson 5 of 9 in the player, follows the outline and changes when you publish. Numbers count up as you add lessons, so a new lesson never takes a deleted lesson's number.

Deleting a module deletes every lesson in it, so move any lesson you want to keep into another module first. On a published course, deleted items stay visible to members until you publish your changes. Before then, Discard changes brings them back, and it also drops every other change you have not published.

Drop files on the outline to make one lesson per file. Files held over a module go to the end of that module, which shows Add here while you hold them. Files dropped elsewhere on the outline, or picked with Choose files in the Drop files to make lessons box, go to the last module.

Lessons are added in file-name order, and numbers are read as numbers, so a file starting with 2 comes before one starting with 10.

Lockers titles each lesson from its file name. It removes the extension and any leading lesson number such as 04_, and it drops the word final and version tags such as v2. Underscores and hyphens become spaces. Capital letters stay as you typed them, so 04_the-cost-floor_FINAL.mp4 becomes the cost floor.

A number at the start of a file name is always treated as numbering, so 10 ways to price.mp4 becomes ways to price. A name with nothing left after the cleanup becomes Untitled lesson. Rename those lessons in the outline or on the canvas.

The Uploads tray at the bottom of the outline lists every file with its lesson title above the original file name. The lessons appear in the outline right away and fill in as their files finish. Two files upload at a time. Each row shows Waiting, a percentage with the time left, or Processing, and then the video's length, or Done for other files.

Keep the tab open until the tray finishes. You can keep editing in the meantime, and the browser asks before you leave while uploads are running. Once everything is done, Clear the list empties the tray.

A course holds up to 30 modules and 100 lessons on Free and Pro. The count beside Add module shows how many modules you have used, and the button is switched off at 30. At 100 lessons, each module's Add lesson turns into the count 100 of 100 lessons, and Choose files is switched off.

A drop that would take the course past 100 lessons shows A course can have up to 100 lessons in the tray. Delete lessons you no longer need, or split the material into a second course.
