Creating Custom Pages

Creating Custom Pages

You can personalize your course by adding custom pages, which will appear in the course navigation bar. Each page’s content is added using an text editor. For instance, a course may add a custom page labeled Syllabus, which will then be accessible through the navigation bar.

When adding a page, you can set its visibility so it’s either available to everyone enrolled in the course (including the course team) or restricted to course team members with Admin or Staff roles. For details on assigning roles to course staff, refer to Planning Course Staff.

If you add a custom page after the course’s start date and choose to make it visible to learners, it will be immediately accessible in the LMS once saved.


For optimal results, ensure these aspects are ready before adding a page in Studio:

  1. Page content, which may include HTML markup.
  2. A name for the page.
  3. The intended audience for the page (either everyone or only course team members with Admin or Staff roles).

To add a custom page and its content to your course, follow these steps:

1. In Studio, go to the Content menu and choose Pages & Resources.

2. Select the Custom Pages card on this page.

3. Click New Page, which will add a new page named Empty at the end of the list.

4. In the row for the new page, click Edit to open the Text editor.

5. Enter the content for your page.

Notes
To rename the page, click on the Edit option (represented by the pencil icon) located at the top right corner.

6. Click Save. Once saved, the new page is available immediately to the specified audience if the course has already started.

To hide the page from learners, click on the Eye icon located on the card of the desired page within the Custom Pages section. Pages are visible to learners by default.
