# 🚀 Pathwright Learning Space pre-launch checklist

First, congratulations getting this far! That's a big accomplishment on its own.

Before you launch your first learning Path, we recommend taking a few minutes to prepare your Pathwright Learning Space in order to make a good first impression on your learners and help your launch go smoothly. Let's dive in!

## Pre-launch check areas

Outside of the Path (or Paths) you're preparing to launch, there are two other areas to check:

- **Account settings:** These settings control the colors, names, icons, and support information your members will see when they visit your Learning Space.
- **Library:** The place where your members will discover any Paths you've made visible to them.

## Check your Account Settings

*Open your Dashboard and select "Account Settings" or select "Settings" from the main menu to access and configure the following items:*

⬜ A Learning Space Icon that represents your brand or organization\
⬜ A unique primary color used on all buttons and links\
⬜ Support policy for when and how your members can get help along with a contact email and optional phone number\
⬜ Selling Paths? The first step is to [Connect a Stripe account](../../integrations/stripe/accept-payment-through-stripe.help.md) to enable the Commerce options.\
⬜ If you haven't signed up for a Pathwright plan yet, now is the time to do so. Select "Activate Now" on the main menu and [choose a pricing plan.](https://grow.pathwright.com/pricing/plan/)

## Check your Library

*Finally, head over to your Library and select Library Settings and check for the following:*

⬜ A welcoming [Library banner](../../make-it-beautiful/all-about-branding/library-banner-design-a-custom-header.help.md).\
⬜ Attractive [Path cover images](../../make-it-beautiful/all-about-branding/customize-your-path-cover-and-background.help.md).\
⬜ If you have more than 5 Paths, we recommend considering creating [Path categories](../../make-it-beautiful/curate-your-library/categories-help-anyone-find-something-new-to-learn.help.md) to help people narrow down their choices.

**💡 Tip:** See [all branding options here.](../../make-it-beautiful/all-about-branding/brand-your-pathwright-learning-space.help.md)

That's it! For further preparation, take a look through the [Path Pre-launch Checklist](./path-pre-launch-checklist.help.md) for each Path you're preparing to launch and review the Advanced Learning Space options below.

## Advanced Learning Space options

*You may want to activate a few weeks early if you plan to include any of the following:*

⬜ A [custom domain](../../account-and-billing-management/managing-your-account/set-up-a-custom-domain.help.md) (available on the Essentials Plan and above). Note that it may take a couple days to purchase a domain and configure it to link to your Pathwright Learning Space.\
⬜ Want to offer subscription plans? You can include [Paths in monthly or yearly recurring subscriptions](../../sell-courses/sell-by-subscription/offer-account-wide-subscriptions.help.md) (included in the Essentials Plan and up).\
⬜ Want to offer discount codes? [Offering a discount](../../sell-courses/offer-discount-codes/how-discount-codes-work.help.md) to your first group of learners can help attract more people, especially if you're new to offering your teaching online.\
⬜ Want to offer Paths for other people to teach or take as a group on their own? You can [turn on "Member-created Groups"](../../offer-courses-multiple-ways-with-cohorts/member-created-cohorts-allow-anyone-to-lead-a-private-group.help.md) on the Complete Plan and above.
