Challenges
Run a day-by-day program — days that unlock in order, after a delay, by hand or by purchase — built from the same modules and lessons as a course.
A challenge is a course organized into days. Each day holds its own modules and lessons, and opens on a rule you choose: when the previous day is done, after a set time, when you unlock it, or when the member holds the right tags. Use it for a 5-day kickstart, a 30-day program or a weekly cohort.
Challenges live alongside your courses on the Courses page.
Before you start
- Be an admin, or hold the right permission. Challenges use the same Courses & challenges permissions (Create, Edit, Delete) as courses in roles.
Creating a challenge
- On Courses, click Add course.
- Under What type of course?, choose Daily Challenge.
- Fill in the rest as for a course and click Create.
The challenge's card opens a grid of its days.
Adding days
- Open the challenge and click New Day.
- Fill in Add Day:
- Title and Description (up to 200 characters), and a cover.
- Unlock Day — when this day opens (below).
- ‘Mark as Complete’ Required — members must mark each lesson done before moving on. An optional Popup Message tells them so.
- Click Create.
Inside a day, add modules and lessons exactly as in a course — see Building the course.
When a day unlocks
| Option | The day opens… |
|---|---|
| After User Has Completed Previous Day | once the member has completed every lesson of the day before |
| Specified Time After Previous Day | a set number of minutes, hours, days, weeks or months after the member started the previous day |
| Admin Manual Unlock | when you switch on Unlock — for everyone at once |
| Only members with these tags | for members holding the tags; others get the purchase modal or a redirect, like a paid course |
Note
Day 1 has no previous day, so it can only use Admin Manual Unlock or the tags option. It starts on Admin Manual Unlock with Unlock switched on, so members can open it straight away — switch Unlock off to hold the challenge back until launch.
When every timed day uses weeks — or every one uses months — the challenge calls them Week or Month instead of Day.
Editing and removing days
Each day's menu has Edit Day and Delete Day. Drag days by their handle to reorder them.
What members see
There's no sign-up or start date — a member's clock starts the first time they open a day. A locked day tells them why:
- that they need to complete the previous day (and remember mark as complete),
- that it opens when the admin unlocks it,
- a countdown to when it unlocks automatically,
- or that they must start the previous day first.
Cards in the grid show short hints such as Locked by host, No access or Unlocks in ….
Things worth knowing
- Timing is per member. "Specified Time After Previous Day" counts from when that member started, so people who join late follow the same pace.
- Admins can open every day, locked or not, so you can check content ahead of members.
- Manual unlock is for everyone. Switching it on opens the day for all members at the same time — good for live cohorts.
- Challenges count toward the 100-course limit.
