Curriculum

The Curriculum tab is where you structure what students actually learn: modules (sections) and lessons inside each module. You add content in a slide-over editor, control whether each lesson is Live or Draft, and optionally schedule drip unlocks or free previews.

Open any course from Dashboard → Monetize → Courses, then click the Curriculum tab in the editor.

Related: Create a course · Lesson types · Drip & free preview · Publishing · Courses overview.


Open the Curriculum tab

  1. Open the course

    Dashboard → Courses → click the course card (or Edit from the ⋯ menu).

  2. Curriculum

    In the left tab list, choose Curriculum.

The page header explains the basics:

ViewportDescription text
Desktop (wide)Organize your course into modules and lessons. Drag to reorder; double-click a module title to rename.
Mobile / narrowOrganize your course into modules and lessons. Rename a module with the pencil icon; tap a lesson to edit content.

On small screens you also see: Reordering lessons requires desktop.

Desktop recommended for reordering

On narrow screens, Flo shows Reordering lessons requires desktop. You can still add modules, add lessons, and edit content on mobile — use a wide window to drag modules and lessons into final order.


Modules

Modules group lessons in the order students see them (for example Week 1 — Foundations, Bonuses).

Add a module

  1. Add module

    Click Add module at the bottom of the tab.

  2. Name it

    Type a title — placeholder Module title, e.g. Introduction — then Add module (or press Enter).

  3. Cancel

    Cancel or Escape closes the form without saving.

Flo appends the new module at the end of the list.

Rename a module

MethodHow
DesktopDouble-click the module title, edit, then confirm with the checkmark (or Enter)
Any screenClick the pencil icon (Rename module) in the module header

Escape or the X cancels and restores the previous title.

Expand or collapse

Use the caret on the module header to show or hide its lessons. Collapsing does not delete anything — it only tidies the editor.

Reorder modules

On desktop (browser width 1024px and up), drag the six-dot handle on the module header to move whole sections up or down. Flo saves the new order automatically. If save fails, you see Failed to save new order.

Module reordering is not available on phone-sized layouts — use a wide window when restructuring a long course.

Delete a module

Module menu () → Delete module → confirm Delete module.

Flo warns: the module title and all its lessons will be permanently deleted. This cannot be undone from the curriculum tab.


Lessons

Each lesson belongs to exactly one module. Four types exist — Video, Text, PDF, and Quiz — see Lesson types.

Add a lesson

Flo opens a slide-over titled New lesson.

Edit a lesson

ActionResult
Click the lesson row or pencil (Edit lesson)Slide-over Edit lesson

Lesson row labels

Each lesson row shows quick status so you can scan the outline:

Badge / detailMeaning
VIDEO, TEXT, PDF, QUIZLesson type
Clock + durationVideo length when Flo knows it (for example 12m)
Lock + Day NDrip — unlocks N days after the student enrolled
FreeFree preview — visitors without enrollment can open this lesson on the public course page
LivePublished — students can access (subject to drip rules)
DraftUnpublished — hidden from students; title appears in italics

Unpublished lessons stay in your outline for planning but do not appear in the student curriculum.

Reorder lessons within a module

On desktop, drag the six-dot handle on a lesson row to reorder inside that module only. Flo saves automatically; errors show Failed to save lesson order.

On mobile, you can add and edit lessons but not drag to reorder — use desktop for final lesson order.

Delete a lesson

Delete lesson → confirm Delete lesson.

Flo warns that the lesson title will be permanently deleted.


Lesson editor (slide-over)

The slide-over has two main areas: Settings (all types) and Questions (quizzes only, after the lesson exists).

New lesson — choose a type

When creating a lesson, pick one of four formats:

TypeSubtitle in picker
VideoUpload a video via Mux
TextWritten content or markdown
PDFUpload a PDF document
QuizMultiple choice questions

You cannot change the type after the lesson is created — plan the format before Create lesson.

Settings tab — common fields

FieldDetail
Lesson titleRequired — placeholders vary by type (for example Getting Started with the Basics for video)
ContentDepends on type — video upload, Markdown Content for text, PDF URL for PDF
PublishedToggle — Unpublished lessons are hidden from students
Free previewToggle — Non-enrolled visitors can view this lesson for free
Show drip settings / Hide drip settingsExpands Unlock after (days) — leave blank for immediate access after enroll

Drip helper copy when set: Students unlock this lesson N day(s) after enrolling.

Footer buttons: Cancel · Create lesson or Save changes.

ToastWhen
Lesson createdFirst save
Lesson updatedEdit save

Video lessons stay open after save

For Video, Flo keeps the slide-over open after save so you can upload and wait for processing (Upload received…, Processing video…, Video ready, or Processing failed — please try again). Enter a Lesson title before uploading — otherwise Flo asks you to Please enter a lesson title before uploading.

Text, PDF, and quiz lessons close the slide-over after a successful save (quiz lessons still need the Questions tab — see below).

Quiz lessons — two steps

  1. Create the quiz lesson

    Choose Quiz, set Lesson title, turn Published on when ready, click Create lesson.

  2. Questions tab

    Flo shows a note: Questions are added on the Questions tabCreate the lesson first, then switch to the Questions tab to add your questions. Open Questions and build the assessment — Quizzes.


What students see vs what you see

You setStudent experience
Draft lessonNot listed in the learn outline
Live lessonAppears in order inside its module
Free previewListed on the public course page for non-buyers
Drip daysLesson stays locked until that many days after their enrollment date
Course Draft (top bar)Entire course hidden — Publishing

Flo only counts published lessons toward completion and certificates. If you require quizzes for completion, published quiz lessons must be passed; otherwise they only need to be completed.

More on drip math and marketing previews: Drip & free preview.


Suggested build order

  1. Outline modules first

    Add all modules in teaching order — rename and drag on desktop until the arc feels right.

  2. Add lessons per module

    Work module by module: video core content, text summaries, PDF worksheets, then quizzes.

  3. Publish lessons as you go

    Turn Published on for finished lessons; leave Draft on placeholders you are still filming.

  4. Set drip or previews last

    Use Free preview for one strong intro video. Use Unlock after (days) for cohort-style releases.

  5. Publish the course

    When the outline is ready for buyers, Publish the course from the editor top bar — Publishing.

You do not need every lesson on day one

A Live course with one module and one Live video lesson is enough to start selling. Expand the curriculum anytime — existing students see new Live lessons in order.

Troubleshooting

IssueWhat to check
Students see an empty courseLessons are Draft — turn Published on · course itself must be Live
Lesson missing on sales pageFree preview only applies per lesson — entire course still needs publish + Sell a Course block
Drip not unlockingConfirm Unlock after (days) is set · student must be past enrollment date + day count
Cannot drag to reorderWiden the window past the mobile breakpoint · check Reordering lessons requires desktop
Video stuck processingKeep the lesson editor open until Video ready · re-upload if Processing failed
Quiz has no questionsSave the lesson first, then open the Questions tab
Wrong lesson typeDelete and recreate — type cannot be switched after create
Module delete removed everythingExpected — deleting a module deletes all lessons inside it
