Template library

A user-friendly interface displays all available templates, including key details and visual previews. Users can toggle between grid or list view, with the system remembering their preference. Thanks to the full-width layout, more templates can be displayed per row.

Via a tertiary navigation bar, it’s easy to revisit and adjust template selections at any time during the setup process. This allows instructors to explore templates, return later to refine their choice, or combine it with additional tools – like the Course Library (requires Kickstart Pro) or Student view – all without leaving the guided creation flow.

However, changing the course template is not always recommended, depending on the overall settings. In some cases, existing course content may be lost or overwritten.

Course creators can select a course template. Descriptions, instructions, tags, and preview images support their choice. The tertiary navigation allows quick access to other pages useful in the course creation process.
