Getting Started with Your Advanced Content Hub

This guide covers the essentials you need to get started with your Advanced Content Hub—learn how to sync your data, organize your content, and use key features that control how it's displayed and accessed.

Syncing Your Data

The first time you open your template for customization, you’ll see a popup prompting you to click the Save button. This step captures your course’s modules and lessons and syncs them with the template—making that data available for features like the Tag Manager, Filters Page, Smart Sliders, Programs, and more.
Behind the scenes, every time the editor loads, it compares the latest course outline from your product with the version saved inside the template.

Important: Changes to Your Content Won’t Appear Until You Sync!
After making changes to your course outline—such as editing post titles, categories, thumbnails, or lesson content—you’ll need to:
Open the template in the Customizer and click the Save button when prompted.

Until you do, those updates won’t be reflected in filters, sliders, playlists, or other dynamic elements.

Back up your data

We recommend periodically exporting your template and downloading the export file.
This serves as a full backup of both your Tag Manager data and your customization work—so if anything goes wrong, you can restore everything.

Add Tags and Custom Fields

Start by organizing your content with tags and custom fields. Tags help you group lessons or categories by theme, topic, or type. Custom fields add extra filters like level or focus area, giving users more ways to find relevant content.

Before tagging everything, take a minute to plan. Think about how you want users to browse—by topic, difficulty, or goal? This will help you create a structure that makes sense later.

To begin tagging, open your template for customization and click the Tag Manager. Under the Tags tab, add a few tags. Then go to the Custom Fields tab to create custom fields and add a few values to each. Once that’s set up, go to any post page to start assigning tags and setting custom field values.

Once your content is tagged and structured, you can display it using key features like Dashboards, Dedicated Pages, the Filter Page, and your site’s Header. These are the core tools worth focusing on first.

Main and Additional Dashboards Learn More

Dashboard pages give you full flexibility to showcase your content
Stack different sections to build your layout. Common section types include:
Lesson sliders or grids – Add multiple lesson sections to your dashboard and arrange them as needed.
Custom sliders – Create sliders that link to filtered pages, playlist pages, or program pages.
Hero and Call-to-Action sections – Highlight key content or guide users to specific areas.

Dedicated Pages

Pre-Filtered Pages – Link to a page displaying lessons filtered by any combination of tags and custom fields.
Playlist Pages – Each playlist you create in the Tag Manager automatically generates a page you can link to.
Program Pages – Each program you create in the Tag Manager also gets its own linkable page.

Filter Page

Your template’s search page doubles as a filterable content library.
Open the search page settings and enable the Filter and Search section. The sidebar will auto-populate with the tags and fields from your Tag Manager.
Use the Tag Manager to reorder items or toggle their visibility in the sidebar.

You can create a link to a pre-filtered page by selecting any filters and then copying the page URL. When opened, this URL will load the page with those filters already applied.
To hide the filters interface on load, add &hideFilters=true to the end of the URL.

Header

Customize your site’s header navigation:
Add a Product Page item and select “Search” to link to your filter page or other product pages
Add Custom Page items to link directly to dashboards or dedicated pages.
Use dropdowns to group related links and make navigation easier.
