Platform access level: Org Admins, Managers, and Writers (anyone who builds courses).
The Content page holds everything you build in Arist, courses, nudges, and surveys alike, from drafts and published items to favorites and archives. Once you know your way around it, you can find any item fast and manage it from one menu, without opening the editor.
1. Finding any item on the Content page
The Content page lists everything your team has built, with the most recently created first.
Each card carries two badges, its Draft or Published status and its content type, so one glance tells you where an item stands and whether it is a course, a nudge, or a survey.
Two buttons at the top start something new:
Create new: Start a new Course, Survey, or Nudge. For choosing the right build path, see Best Practices for Creating Content.
Content library: Open Arist's collection of premade course templates. See Pull Templates from the content library.
Four tabs under the page header switch your view:
All content: Every course, nudge, and survey in your workspace appears here, in one list.
Recent: Jump back into whatever you worked with lately.
Favorites: The items you've marked as favorites from the three-dot menu gather here.
Archived: Items you've set aside live here, keeping the main list clean. Arist keeps everything you create rather than deleting it, so Archive is how you take an item out of the main list, and an archived item's three-dot menu holds Restore to bring it straight back.
Note: An item stays in Drafts until you set a schedule for it; once you do, it moves to Published. That holds for courses, nudges, and surveys alike, and schedules are covered in Best Practices for Delivering Courses.
2. Organizing content into folders
Folders keep a long content list manageable, and they take two moves to use.
Select Create folder in the Folders row on the Content page, just under Search and Filters, and name your folder.
Open an item's three-dot menu and select Move to folder.
A folder holds any mix of content types, so you can keep a campaign's course, its follow-up nudge, and its closing survey together in one place.
3. Managing any item from its three-dot menu
Every course, nudge, and survey carries the same three-dot menu on its card, holding the day-to-day management actions, so most tasks never require opening the item itself.
Menu action | What it does |
Edit | Opens the item in the content editor |
View | Shows the item as a learner sees it |
Delivery options | Opens the item's delivery settings |
Move to folder | Files the item into one of your folders |
Add to favorites | Pins the item to the Favorites tab, and reads Remove from favorites once it's there |
Translate | Creates translated versions of the item, when your organization has AI enabled |
Clone to drafts | Makes a duplicate of the item in Drafts |
Download | Offers the content as a Word document or as a PDF |
Archive | Moves the item to the Archived tab, keeping the main list clean |
The Translate action has its own step-by-step guide in Translating an Existing Course, and it works the same way whichever content type you run it on.
Note: A shareable enrollment link belongs to a schedule rather than to the item itself, so you create one by turning on link enrollment on the schedule. See Sharing Courses for Self-Enrollment.
4. Spotting the actions that appear on some items
Three more actions join the menu when the item qualifies for them, which is why two items can show slightly different menus.
Menu action | When it appears | What it does |
Analyze | On any course, nudge, or survey you have already scheduled | Opens that item's analytics |
Version | On courses only | Creates a new version of the course so you can adapt it |
Create template | When Arist has given your account permission to add to the content library | Turns the item into a template other builders can start from |
Only courses offer Version, and Modifying an Existing Course walks that flow end to end. Analyze depends on scheduling rather than on content type, so a nudge or a survey shows it as soon as it has been sent to learners.
5. Moving content between teams
If your organization uses Teams (currently in Beta), content is scoped to a team. Every item starts its life in the Default team.
Folders are how content moves between teams. Open the item's three-dot menu, select Move to folder, and pick the destination team's folder.
Note: Every tab on the Content page shows only the team you have selected, Recent and Archived included, and that applies to every role including Org Admins. Each team's list is its own, so switch teams with the selector at the top of the sidebar to see the content that belongs to another one. (Teams is in Beta.)
