(New! ✨) Explore Cover Pages: a fresh way to showcase your Paths

Whether you offer Paths for free or a fee, each of your learners starts with an implicit question: "Why is taking this worth my time and energy?" The new Cover Pages feature helps you make a more interesting, persuasive pitch.

• Showcase your brand and create a unique look for each course using a banner-style header image.

• Let your Path speak for itself with the embedded preview. Now, any Steps you configure to be previewable appear as preview cards on the Cover Page. They're like "Product Shots" for your Path.

• Add interactive elements like contributors or a video trailer to help learners more easily browse and compare.

• Use the new immersive view to link to a specific Cohort, a key Contributor, or a video preview so path-shoppers can navigate it like a keynote presentation.

This article walks you through:

• How to preview Cover Pages without turning them on just yet.
• Tips for updating your page content to maximize the new Cover Page design.
• An FAQ

To preview Cover Pages, visit Space Settings > Configure features & integrations > Labs: Try out new features > Cover Pages and use the options presented to toggle on (or toggle off) the preview.

Once you've turned on the Preview feature, any Administrator or Library Editor can visit an About Page and tap the new "Cover Page" button in the top right of the header to view the Cover Page:

We've designed the first version of Cover Pages to use only existing content from About Pages. So you don't have to update any content or settings before they're launched.

However, Cover Pages offer new, more engaging ways to make a pitch and provide a timely opportunity to enhance your pitch pages.

To begin customizing your Cover Page, click on the "Edit Cover Page" icon on the far right:

This will open up an editing panel where you can make changes and see them applied instantly to your Cover Page:

When you select "Edit title, images...," you'll be able to change your Path title and update your Cover image. The Cover image is what your learners will see when browsing your library.

By default, Path backgrounds use a blurred version of the Cover Image. However, you can make a much more interesting, unique visual impact by uploading a custom background image for each Path.

Cover Pages use similar text formatting options to current About Pages, but while you're updating your pages, it's worth reviewing and enhancing your path descriptions. For example:

• Use subheadings (like "Header 3") to break your description into scannable sections (e.g., "Who this path is for")
• Use bullets or numbered lists to outline key skills they'll learn or benefits they'll gain.
• Include block quotes with testimonials or to highlight key points.
• If it's tone-appropriate, use emoticons to add more interest and highlight key elements.

While your Path outline is automatically previewable, you can enhance the preview by configuring the most interesting, best Steps in your Path to be previewable as well. Any Steps set to allow previewing now show up as "preview cards" for potential learners to review before joining.

Available public Cohorts display as Offers on the Cover Page and present a high-value opportunity to make a closing pitch. We recommend adding a short description for each Cohort that highlights what learners will receive. For example:

✨ Bonus feature: Enable Member Created Cohorts (shown above) so anyone can take their own small group, team, or organization through the training you've designed.

Like a book or an event, the primary selling point of any learning experience is the person or people who create it. In an era where digital tools are becoming increasingly impersonal, simply showing helpful faces on your page, even if it's just a Path for your team, makes joining that much more compelling.

We recommend adding the names, pictures, and short bios of each person who contributes, whether they're the author, lecturer, or facilitator.

If you offer a Library of courses for learners to consider, categorizing them not only helps them browse more easily but also adds a "More in..." section at the footer of your Cover Page that presents additional options if the current course they're considering isn't the right fit.

Additionally, learners can click the "next" arrow to the right of a Cover Page to view the next path in the category without returning to the Library.

Cover Pages are currently available for launch. We'll continue to test and refine the Cover Pages beta.

Yes, to launch Cover Pages, visit Space Settings > Configure features & integrations > Labs: Try out new features > Cover Pages and use the options presented to toggle on the launch. Once this is enabled, your learners and all members in your learning space will see the Cover Pages.

Yes, Cover Pages will replace your About Pages. As we near the end of the beta period, you'll have the option to activate them on your Learning Space when you're ready.

We welcome your feedback, and you can share it via our feedback form or send us a message in the app.
