Create custom pages

Custom pages are standalone content pages — a welcome guide, community rules, an FAQ, a resource hub — that live alongside your spaces and courses. They're written in markdown and surfaced through navigation.

Steps

  1. Go to Admin → Pages.
  2. Click New page and give it a clear title (e.g. "Community Guidelines").
  3. Write the body in markdown: headings, lists, links, images, and tables are supported.
  4. Set the page access: visible to everyone, members only, or a specific role/tier.
  5. Click Publish.
  6. Add the page to the sidebar under Admin → Navigation so members can find it.

A "Start here" page that explains how the community works is the single highest-leverage page you can publish.

Verify it worked

Open the community as a member, click the page from the sidebar, and confirm the markdown renders correctly and the access rule behaves as expected (e.g. members-only pages are hidden from logged-out visitors).

  • How access control works
  • Branding: logo and colors

FAQ

Can I embed video or rich content? Use markdown for text, links, and images. For full lessons with video and progress tracking, use Courses instead.

Can a page be public to non-members? Yes, if you set its access to everyone. Otherwise it requires sign-in.

Can I schedule a page to publish later? Pages are published when you click Publish. There is no scheduled drip release.

How many pages can I create? Create as many as you need; just keep navigation tidy by grouping or hiding lesser-used pages.
