A course detail page is automatically generated for every piece of content and eCommerce item that is created on the Thought Industries platform. Detail pages are the public-facing pages that learners and potential learners may browse to learn more about your offerings. While these pages are automatically created, they can be further configured.
Where do I find this?
For content items:
Content > Actions > Settings > Catalog
For eCommerce items:
eCommerce > Actions > Edit
How do I do this?
Configure Settings:
- From your homepage, select Content.
- Click the Actions drop-down next to the course you want to alter and select Settings.
- This will bring you directly into the Catalog tab. From here, populate the fields to configure your course detail page settings (e.g. title, description, and images).
Add Tabs:
- At the bottom of the Catalog tab page, you will have the option to add custom tabs using the provided templates. To do this, click Add New Tab and select a tab type.

Note
Learning Path Detail Pages do not have the option to add tabs because that space is utilized to display the milestones and courses within the Learning Path. By default, there is a "View Details" link next to each course description that leads to the Course Detail Pages (where tabs are available).
Customize Layout:
- At the top of the Catalog tab page, you will have the option to add a customized layout for your detail page (by default, the global layout will be used). To customize, click Add Custom Layout.
- This will bring you directly into the Design tab for your detail page. From here, you can add, remove, or customize a selection of widgets.
