About This Feature
Each lesson type has default icons and labels that your students will see in your Course Player as well as the Course Curriculum section of your landing page. This helps your students see what type of content is included in your course at a quick glance.
If you find that this default doesn't quite match the lesson content you are delivering, you can customize it! You can edit any default icons and/or labels per lesson. Label text can also be customized as desired.
How It Works
Lesson icons and labels will appear within the Course Player sidebar as well as in your Course Curriculum on your course landing page. There are default icons for each lesson type.
In the Course Player, the icons and labels appear under the lesson title in the sidebar. You can see what the default icons and labels are for each Thinkific lesson type below:
If you are using a Course Curriculum section on your course landing page, the lesson icons will be displayed to the left of your lesson titles:
