Revamped Course Builder: Modern UI and Easier Course Creation

Courses help establish your brand as a reliable source of information and provide clear value to customers. We updated the Course Builder to make that process faster and more pleasant. The interface is modernized, navigation is smoother, and content editing stays where it belongs: inside the editor.

What changed

• Modernized interface with unified buttons, modals, and forms for a consistent look and feel.
• No more iframes. Module Federation no longer creates iframes, keeping all pieces connected for smoother navigation and fewer context switches.
• Inline content editing. Adding and editing course content now happens inside the editing module without leaving the page.
• Centralized tools so course setup and management remain in one place.

Why this matters

Better design and fewer interruptions save time and reduce friction. Creators can build courses faster, and learners enjoy a more consistent experience. The combined improvements make course creation more efficient and predictable.

"Adding content to your courses no longer requires you to leave the editing module."

How to create a course

Here are the steps to set up a new course using the updated builder.

1. Go to the Products tab inside the Courses section.
2. Click Create New and select Start from Scratch.
3. Enter your course title.
4. Upload a thumbnail to identify the course visually.
5. Set up pricing if desired.
6. Click Create Course to generate it and begin adding content within the editor.

Practical tips for faster course launches

• Use a clear, searchable course title so learners can find it easily.
• Prepare your thumbnail and pricing details before you start to speed up the setup.
• Take advantage of inline editing to add lessons and resources without switching screens.
• Keep modules focused and short to improve learner engagement.
