Learn how to create a Beeline from scratch, configure its settings, and build its sections and cells.

Building manually gives you full control over every part of your course. You create the Beeline, set it up, and then lay out the structure yourself before adding any content. It's the best route when you already know exactly what you want, or when you'd rather write everything in your own words.

A Beeline is your training course or learning pathway, and a cell is one lesson or module inside it. Your workspace may use its own names for these, but the steps are the same; trust the description on each card rather than the label.

Before you start

Have your plan to hand: your course purpose, who it's for, your learning outcomes, and a rough list of sections and lessons. Five minutes of planning here saves rework later.

Building is available to admins, and to managers where your workspace's Build Mode Access allows it. If you can't see the options below, ask your workspace admin.

How to create your Beeline

  1. Select Quick Actions at the top right and scroll down to Create Beeline.
  2. Under Choose Build Method, select Build Manually, then select Next.
  3. Under Name Your Beeline, type a Course Name, then select Create.

Your new Beeline opens in the builder. The Structure panel on the left shows No sections yet, ready for you to build.

How to set up your course

Before adding sections, take a moment to configure the course itself.

  1. Select Settings, the gear at the bottom of the left icon rail.
  2. Under Identity, check the Name and add a short Description. This is what learners see on their dashboard, so keep it clear and outcome-focused.
  3. Under Certificates, switch on Issue certificate on completion if learners should receive one. You can use your workspace's default certificate or create a custom one for this Beeline.
  4. Select Advanced Settings to add your Learning Outcomes and choose a cover image with Edit Cover Image.

Your course content saves automatically as you build. Settings is the exception: some changes here need you to select Save before you close the panel, so check for it before moving on.
