Improved User Experience
We know that features will only be as beneficial as your ability to make use of the capabilities! We're constantly striving to make your experience seamless and our product easier to utilize. This has been accomplished by making certain important enhancements:
1. A better Site Builder
Other than the actual course itself, Site Builder lets you can design your own pages to sell your classes and/or offer exclusive content for members only.
- You can now edit your website right away via Live Preview. Simply select the area you'd like to change and then enter.
- The process of selecting a location for your landing page buttons has become much clearer and easier.

2. It is easier to see what students see
The preview function was improved to make it easier for you to look at your class from the viewpoint from your pupils. You now have three choices of viewing the course from a student's perspective:
- preview of the course currently taking place that shows the current lesson you choosing from the Course Builder. If your lesson is a draft it will be able to see it for a look.
- Overview of all lesson plans The preview will show you all of the lessons you'll be taking starting with the first lesson within the class. If any lesson is being written in draft the student will be granted access to the drafts for test purposes.

- Go through all of the Quizzes and surveys that your student took part in
- Find the score for every quiz.

4. Better Coupon Management
Coupons are an effective and versatile tool that allow users to provide discounts, or even create B2B deals which cost a set fee for the whole group and then distributing coupons that offer a 100% discount for redemption.
We've made a few changes that make the use and management of coupons even more simple:
- You can use an search bar to locate specific coupon codes
