Create a digital download

Before you can start building your digital download, you need to set up a school. Follow this guide to get yourself a free account and create a school, if you haven’t already.

Once you are signed in using an admin account, go to the dashboard by clicking on the Dashboard option from the drop down menu located on the top right corner of your school.

The dashboard looks like the following.

Both courses and digital downloads are categorized as products and will be shown under the Products screen.

5. On the New Lesson screen, select a file, turn off the preview toggle and click Save.

Now that we have added some content to the course, it’s time to publish. By default, any new product is in the Draft state.

9. Voila! Your digital download is now live! You can checkout its sales page by clicking the three dots menu on the right and then selecting the View page option.

10. This is how your sales will look initially. It is barebones as of now. Visit our page builder guide to make it enticing.

11. To share your digital download with your audience, simply copy the URL and share it. When your users click on the Buy now button, they will be redirected to the login screen so that they can add the course into their accounts.
