First, congratulations getting this far! That's a big accomplishment on its own.
Before you launch your first learning Path, we recommend taking a few minutes to prepare your Pathwright Learning Space in order to make a good first impression on your learners and help your launch go smoothly. Let's dive in!
Pre-launch check areas
Outside of the Path (or Paths) you're preparing to launch, there are two other areas to check:
Account settings: These settings control the colors, names, icons, and support information your members will see when they visit your Learning Space.
Library: The place where your members will discover any Paths you've made visible to them.
Check your Account Settings
Open your Dashboard and select "Account Settings" or select "Settings" from the main menu to access and configure the following items:
⬜ A Learning Space Icon that represents your brand or organization
⬜ A unique primary color used on all buttons and links
⬜ Support policy for when and how your members can get help along with a contact email and optional phone number
⬜ Selling Paths? The first step is to Connect a Stripe account to enable the Commerce options.
⬜ If you haven't signed up for a Pathwright plan yet, now is the time to do so. Select "Activate Now" on the main menu and choose a pricing plan.
Check your Library
Finally, head over to your Library and select Library Settings and check for the following:
⬜ A welcoming Library banner.
⬜ Attractive Path cover images.
⬜ If you have more than 5 Paths, we recommend considering creating Path categories to help people narrow down their choices.
💡 Tip: See all branding options here.
That's it! For further preparation, take a look through the Path Pre-launch Checklist for each Path you're preparing to launch and review the Advanced Learning Space options below.
Advanced Learning Space options
You may want to activate a few weeks early if you plan to include any of the following:
⬜ A custom domain (available on the Essentials Plan and above). Note that it may take a couple days to purchase a domain and configure it to link to your Pathwright Learning Space.
⬜ Want to offer subscription plans? You can include Paths in monthly or yearly recurring subscriptions (included in the Essentials Plan and up).
⬜ Want to offer discount codes? Offering a discount to your first group of learners can help attract more people, especially if you're new to offering your teaching online.
⬜ Want to offer Paths for other people to teach or take as a group on their own? You can turn on "Member-created Groups" on the Complete Plan and above.
