Course Editing

Created by Carolina Martin, Modified on Tue, 30 Dec, 2025 at 6:40 PM by Carolina Martin

This section gives you control over how your course is displayed, and managed. From adjusting course visibility and access permissions to configuring key details like course titles, categories, and completion settings—this is where you customise the learning experience to suit your goals. Use these settings to ensure your course is aligned with your audience, brand, and delivery preferences.


Once your course has been created—whether manually or with AI—you can begin customising it to suit your learning objectives. Coursebox provides an intuitive editing interface that lets you add, update, and organise your course content with ease.




Check out our Coursebox Demonstration Video Library for Tutorials.


The left panel is where you create the different sections and activities within your course.

Create Sections 

You can organise your content by dividing your course into multiple sections. Each section can include a variety of activities—such as videos, quizzes, documents, and interactive elements—allowing you to structure learning in a clear, modular way that supports engagement and progression.


You can easily update, remove, or protect sections within your course:

  • Edit: Click the pencil icon next to a section title to update it as your course content develops.

  • Delete: Click the trash icon to remove a section. Keep in mind this will also delete all activities within that section—review carefully before proceeding.

  • Lock: If a page or section is locked, learners must go through it in order and can’t click ahead. If it’s unlocked, they can skip around and use the menu on the left to jump to other pages, even if they haven’t finished earlier ones.  

  • Reorder: Use the Up and down to rearrange pages or sections for your course structure as needed.



Select Page View style

Coursebox allows you to choose between single-column and double-column page layouts, giving you flexibility in how content is presented to learners.


Single-Column Page View

Displays all content in a single, vertical scroll.

Best for:

  • Mobile-first experiences

  • Simpler lessons with text and media

  • Minimising distractions




Double-Column Page View

Divides the page into two side-by-side content areas.

Best for:

  • Complex layouts (e.g., video + notes, instructions + tasks)

  • Visually balancing long blocks of content

  • Placing multimedia alongside explanatory text




Use the Preview Mode

Once you've started editing your course, you can use Preview Mode to see how it will appear to learners. Simply click the button to view your course as a participant would—allowing you to check layout, content flow, and overall learner experience before publishing.

Use Text Editor

The Text Editor in Coursebox allows you to create and edit course content directly on the page, giving you full control over formatting, layout, and media integration. It supports a wide range of tools for designing engaging learning materials.

Key Features

  • Rich Text Formatting – Apply headings, bold, italics, underline, bullet points, and numbered lists.

  • Font & Size Control – Select from multiple fonts and sizes to suit your course style.

  • Insert Media & Links – Add images, videos, and hyperlinks directly into your content.

  • Embed Code – Use the HTML option to embed custom elements such as forms, widgets, or interactive tools.

  • AI Writer – Generate or refine text with AI assistance for faster content creation.

  • Add Sources – Quickly insert supporting materials or references directly into your content.


By default, every new activity is created as a Text Editor —a flexible content type that allows you to add rich text, images, and media. 


The Text editor uses a standard WYSIWYG interface, similar to a WordPress blog post creator, making it easy to format content visually.  


For more advanced customisation, you can click the HTML icon to view and edit the underlying HTML and CSS, giving you full control over the look and feel of your content.  If you want to create more notes, click on “Text Editor” to create a new note content. This will be displayed below the previous note.

Customise each course page using the text editor to add text, media, interactions, and assessments. Easily switch between edit and preview modes and choose a one- or two-column layout to suit your content.



Multiple HTML Blocks Per Page

You can now insert multiple HTML blocks on a single course page. This gives you greater flexibility for structuring your content, such as:

  • Creating separate embedded elements (e.g., videos, quizzes, and interactive charts) within one page.

  • Placing custom-designed sections between blocks of regular text.

  • Combining HTML widgets with standard Coursebox components to create dynamic learning experiences.


Accessing the Text Editor

  • Navigate to the desired course page.

  • Select Text Editor from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.



  • Use the top formatting toolbar to edit your content, insert media, or add HTML code.

Tip: Break up long pages into smaller HTML sections to improve load times and make editing more manageable.




Add Sources

To include additional resources in your course:

  • Click on the ‘Add Sources’ section and select how many sources you'd like the system to find.



  • The system will locate relevant sources, which you can then review and add directly to your course page.
