Creating & Managing Courses

Admin

Courses are the core educational product of PATHS. Each course contains a structured hierarchy of modules and lessons that guide learners through longevity topics.

Course Structure

Courses collection list showing courses with titles, pillars, and status — The Courses collection — each course contains modules and lessons in a structured hierarchy.

Courses follow a three-level hierarchy:

Course — The top-level container with a title, description, access level, and content pillar.
Modules — Thematic sections within a course (e.g., "Fundamentals of Sleep Hygiene").
Lessons — Individual learning units within a module, containing rich text content and optional video embeds.

Creating a Course

Navigate to Courses in the sidebar and click Create New.

Enter the course title and description.

Select a content pillar to categorize the course.

Set the access level to control which membership tiers can access the course.

Assign the course to a tenant (required for multi-tenancy).

Click Save to create the course shell.

Adding Modules

Module edit form showing title, parent course relationship, and order fields — Modules link to a parent course and are ordered by the numeric order field.

Navigate to Modules in the sidebar and click Create New.

Enter the module title and description.

Select the parent course from the relationship dropdown.

Set the order number to control the module's position within the course (lower numbers appear first).

Click Save.

Adding Lessons

Navigate to Lessons in the sidebar and click Create New.

Enter the lesson title.

Select the parent module from the relationship dropdown.

Set the order number to position the lesson within its module.

Write the lesson content using the Lexical rich text editor. You can add text, headings, images, callout blocks, and quiz questions.

To embed a video, use the Video Embed block and paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL. PATHS does not host videos directly.

Click Save.

Lesson editor showing Lexical rich text with video embed and quiz blocks — The Lexical editor supports rich text, video embeds, callouts, and quiz question blocks.

No direct video hosting

PATHS uses YouTube and Vimeo embeds only. Upload your videos to either platform and paste the embed URL into the Video Embed block.

Module and lesson order is controlled by the numeric order field. Items with lower order numbers appear first. If two items share the same order number, their display order may be unpredictable — assign unique order values.

Publishing Courses

Editorial workflow stages

Courses follow the same editorial workflow as articles:

Draft — Initial creation, visible only to admins and the creator.
In Review — Submitted for editorial review.
Approved — Reviewed and approved by an editor.
Published — Live and visible to learners with sufficient access level.

Access level gating

Even after publishing, a course is only visible to users whose membership tier meets or exceeds the course's access level. A premium course (access level 3) is invisible to free-tier users.
