The Explore page is a self-service catalog that lets members discover, review, and register for programs and pathways available to them in their academy. Explore Page

Overview

The Explore page lives in the Learning tab of your academy’s left sidebar. It gives members a way to browse available content and start the registration process on their own, without requiring admin action. Owners and admins see all programs and pathways across the academy; managers and members see only the content their role and registration settings permit.

Access the Explore Page

Members and admins can reach the Explore page two ways:
  1. Select Learning in the left sidebar of your academy.
  2. If you are already inside a program or pathway, select the Explore tab in the Learning area sidebar.

Browse Programs and Pathways

The Explore page organizes content across up to four tabs. Which tabs are visible depends on a member’s role and the academy’s content.
  • All: displays all programs and pathways together. Only visible to members if the academy has at least one pathway.
  • Programs: displays programs only.
  • Pathways: displays pathways only. Like the All tab, this is only visible to members if the academy has at least one pathway.
  • Drafts: displays programs and pathways still in draft status. Visible to owners and admins only. Managers can see their own draft programs in the Learning area sidebar but do not have access to this tab.
Clicking a program or pathway card does one of two things:
  • Not yet registered: opens a details drawer with information about the program or pathway and an option to start the registration process.
  • Already registered: navigates directly to the program or pathway dashboard.

Filter and Sort Programs

Use filters to narrow what you see on the Programs or Pathways tabs. Filters are not available on the All or Drafts tabs. Available filters:
  • Status: All, Upcoming & Active, or Past
  • Registration: All, Registered, or Available (programs you can register for but haven’t yet)
  • Tags: customizable labels managed by owners and admins under Settings > Tags in the Admin area
To change how programs are ordered, open the overflow menu on the Explore tab in the sidebar or the three-dots menu on the page, then select Sort by:
  • Order in Left Nav: matches the drag-and-drop order set in the Learning area sidebar
  • Alphabetical: sorted by program name
  • Date published

Add Programs and Pathways

Owners and admins can create new programs and pathways directly from the Explore page. Select the Add button in the upper right.
  • On the All or Drafts tab, the primary action is Add Program, with a dropdown option to add a pathway instead.
  • On the Programs tab, the button adds a program.
  • On the Pathways tab, the button adds a pathway.

Understand Who Sees What

What a member sees on the Explore page depends on their role and each program’s registration setting. By role:
  • Owners and admins see all programs and pathways in the academy.
  • Managers see programs they manage, are registered for, or are available for them to register for.
  • Members see programs they are registered for or can register for.
By registration setting:
  • Public: visible to all members and to the public
  • All Members: visible to all members in the academy
  • Private: visible only to specified members or groups
  • Invite-Only: requires an invitation to register; not shown on the Explore page
Use Private visibility when you want to surface a program to a specific group, like a paying cohort or a certification track, without making it available to your whole academy. Use Invite-Only when you want no self-service discovery at all and prefer to control enrollment entirely through invitations.

Configure Explore Page Settings

Access these settings from the overflow menu on the Explore tab in the sidebar, or from the three-dots menu on the page. Hide for Members Selecting Hide for members removes the Explore tab from all members’ view. The tab remains visible and accessible to owners and admins, and can be re-enabled at any time from the same menu. When the Explore page is hidden:
  • Members who select Learning see only programs and pathways they have already registered for.
  • The registration filter is removed from the page’s filter options.
  • Members can only join programs through auto-join or direct registration links shared by an admin.
Keep the Explore page visible unless you are running a closed or invite-only academy. Hiding it removes self-service discovery and puts the full burden of enrollment on admins. If your concern is preventing unauthorized registration, consider using Invite-Only or Private visibility on individual programs rather than hiding the page entirely.
