Resources, videos & opportunities
Publish downloadable resources, build a video catalogue from feed posts, links or your video library, and list partner opportunities.
Besides courses, a community has three libraries members can browse: Resources (links and downloads), Videos (a catalogue of video posts) and Opportunities (partner or affiliate offers). Use them for the material that doesn't need a course around it: templates, recordings, partner deals. Each has its own page in your community.
All three let you sort items into categories (Categories button) and show them in chosen channels (Available in channels).
Before you start
- Be an admin, or hold the right permission. Resources and opportunities use the Resources & opportunities permissions in roles; videos use Videos. Each has Create, Edit and Delete.
- Put the pages in your menu so members can find them — Navigation → Quick add, see Look, navigation & about page.
Resources
On Resources, click Add Resource:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Resource Name, Description, cover | What members see on the card |
| Select Category | Where it's filed; + New Category adds one |
| Link | A Text Link or a Global Variable, with Button Text and Open in new tab |
| Advanced view | Clicking the button opens a fuller page about the resource instead of going straight to the link |
| Published, Active | Show it, and let members open it |
Click Create. Each card's menu has Edit Resource and Delete Resource.
Videos
The Videos page is a catalogue of your community's videos. Sort it by No Sorting (your own order — drag to rearrange), Most Recents or Most Views.
Adding a video
Click Add Video and pick a source:
- Add Video From Feed (single video posts only) — start typing a post's title to pick an existing video post.
- Add Video From URL.
- Add Video From Video Library — a video from your ESTAGE video library.
Then fill in Video Title, Description, Categories (required), Available in Channels, and an Access Rule (a custom rule from Rules, or none). For a video from your video library you can also turn on Members can save to their library. Click Add Video.
Note
A video needs a category, and the list only offers categories of the channel you're adding to. If there's none that fits — or you see "Category is required" — click + Add Category right in the form.
Managing videos
A video card's menu has Pin Video / Unpin Video, Edit Video and Delete Video.
Caution
Delete Video in the card's menu removes the video from Videos and deletes the feed post it came from. To take it off the Videos page but keep the post, open Edit Video and select Delete there instead — the post stays in the feed.
Saving a video to your own library
When Members can save to their library is on for a video, members see Save to my library in the video's menu. They pick a folder in their own ESTAGE video library and the video is copied there.
Uploading to the video library
Uploads go into the community owner's ESTAGE video library. Another admin can upload too once the owner invites them: the owner picks Invite to video workspace on their member card (see Members & join requests), and the admin accepts the invite. More about the library: Video on ESTAGE.
Opportunities
Opportunities lists offers from partners — affiliate programs, done-for-you funnels — laid out like courses. Click New Opportunity and fill in Company, Industry, Commissions, Commission Type (Single, Recurring or Single + Recurring), DFY Funnel (Yes / No), Description, category, channels, cover, Published and Active.
Inside an opportunity you add modules and lessons as in a course — see Courses. The card menu has Edit Opportunity and Delete Opportunity.
Things worth knowing
- Every opportunity is open to all members; there's no tag gating for them.
- Delete actions ask for confirmation and can't be undone.
