Add text lessons and chapter headings between videos
Courses aren't only video. Insert written lessons — instructions, theory, worksheets — between classes, and group content into chapters with headings so long courses stay organized.
How text lessons appear to members
A text lesson becomes its own step in the course, just like a video day. Instead of a player, members see the formatted text — and since there's no video to track automatically, they click 'Mark as done' to complete it and move their progress forward.
Text lessons are great for pre-course instructions, theory that doesn't need filming, reflection prompts, or homework between practice sessions. A course can even be entirely text-based.
Chapters and module headings
Dividers act as chapter headings: on the member-facing course page, consecutive items under a divider are grouped beneath that heading. Use them to break a long course into phases like 'Week 1: Foundations' and 'Week 2: Building strength'.
If you build your course with explicit days instead, each day form has an optional 'Module / section' field (available when the LMS is enabled). Days that share the same module title are grouped under one heading — leave it blank for a flat list.
Reordering content
Everything in 'Videos & chapters' — videos, text lessons, and dividers — reorders with drag and drop, so you can restructure a course without rebuilding it.
Step by step
- Open Collections in your admin and open the collection behind your course.
- In the 'Videos & chapters' section, click 'Add text lesson'.
- Give the lesson a title and write the content in the editor — headings, lists, and links are supported.
- Drag the lesson into position between the videos.
- To add a chapter heading, click '+ Add divider' and type the chapter name, then drag it above the content it introduces.
- Save your changes.
Good to know
- Deleting a collection never deletes the videos inside it — only the organization.
- Keep chapter names short; they render as small section headings above the day cards.
