Pages in the Academy allow you to create and present content to your learners. You will find both Default (content) Pages and Custom Pages in the Academy Admin Console that enable you to curate content and build learning experiences for your learners.
When you set up your Academy, you will find Default Pages for each content type (Collections, Paths, Certifications, and Events) that allow you to both create and manage content and display these pages to users. On Default Pages, you can only display one content type (for example, the Paths page will only display Paths).
Custom Pages allow you to create pages that combine different content types and organize them in order to create a more personalized learning experience for your learners. You can create pages that are specific to your learning program to help guide your learners to what they need.
Create and Publish Custom Pages
To get started with Custom Pages, select the “+ Add Page” button in the upper right corner.
You will be prompted to give your Custom Page a title and description that will display to the learner. You can also add visibility settings if you want to limit what types of users can view this new page.
For example, here we are creating a page for implementing our product, so we may want to only show this to Admin users.
Note: Visibility Settings apply at both the Page level and Content level. Learners will only see pages they have visibility access to based on their Segment settings. Learners will only see the content on those pages that they have access to, so adding content to a page does not override the content level visibility settings.
Once you click “Add,” you will be taken to customize the page. You can add Sections to this page in order to organize your content and help show a learning progression, segment out themes, group content types, etc.
For example, on this Implementation Page, we have created sections based on implementation milestones.
Within each section, you can Add Content to search and add your Academy Content.
As you make changes to this page, the draft will save in the Admin Console. Once you are ready to make this page live, click the “Publish” button to save the draft.
Navigation Order & Page Display
Once you have published your page settings, you can return to the main “Pages” page to update the order your pages appear and set this page live to Learners.
Pages will display in the Academy Sub Navigation bar in the order they appear on this page. Click the sort icon in the leftmost column and drag pages to where you want them to appear.
When you have the pages order set, you can now set your new Custom Page live to learners by toggling the “Live” toggle in the left column. Now your page will display in the Academy sub-navigation bar to any learners that have access to this page.
Editing Custom Pages
You can make edits to your custom pages at any time. If you need to hide a page while you are making updates, you can un-toggle the “Live” toggle on the main “Page’s” page so learners cannot access the page until its updated.
From the overflow menu on this page, you can edit the Visibility settings to update what types of Contacts can view the page in the Academy. You can delete a Custom Page from this menu as well.
If you need to update the content on the page, click into the custom page and make any necessary edits. As you make changes, you will see the “Publish” button re-enables. Any edits you make will save as a draft in the Admin Console, but will not be saved for the Academy until you select “Publish.” Learners in the Academy will only ever see the currently saved version of the page.
