Step 2 | Adding Content to Your Course

The method for incorporating various content types—texts, videos, photos, questions, and documents—is streamlined for ease in Manager. Here's how you can add and format your course content:

Choosing Content Types

Here are the types of content you can add to your Playbook course. To add more content, click ADD MORE

Formatting Text Across Content Types

Enhance your course with text to provide context or instructions. Title your text, input your content, and use features like bullet points, numbered lists, and hyperlinks for organization.

1. Give your text a title
2. Add content in the text box
   
3. Format your text with bullet points or a number sequence:
   
4. Add a hyperlink
   • The Link Title is how the link will be displayed; the Link Target is the full weblink
   • To remove the link, put your cursor on the link and click on the Unlink icon
     
5. When you are finished editing your text, click NEXT. 

Adding Videos and Photos

Adding video and photo content to your Playbook courses is a great way to show how to complete job-specific tasks. They can be taken directly from a smartphone within the Playbook app, carried horizontally or vertically. Or, if you prefer to create content prior to adding a course, you can upload a photo or video.

Select ADD VIDEO or ADD PHOTO from the course options page Choose whether to add from the library or take a photo/video in Playbook Give the content a title and additional details if applicable Click NEXT

Please note, for your security, all uploads are scanned to ensure they are free of viruses and safe to include in your course. Click NEXT after the upload completes. If any issues are detected during the scan, you will be notified immediately to take appropriate action.

Rearrange Content and Save

Once you are satisfied with all of the added content, you can rearrange it to fit the course needs. For example, if you decide that a particular question should actually be asked after a specific video, you can move it.

2. Once the content is in the correct order, click SAVE AND CLOSE
