❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I offer products for free?
A: Yes! You can set any product (Courses, Digital Files, Events, etc.) to be free. This is a great way to build trust and "hook" new members before offering paid content.
Q: Why can't I publish the product I just created?
A: If the "Publish" button is greyed out or restricted, check your current plan. Users on the Trial plan can draft and view products but need to upgrade to Pro or Platinum to publish them live to the community.
Q: What kind of files can I upload to "Digital Files"?
A: You can upload a variety of resources including PDFs, eBooks, templates, and spreadsheets. You can also link to external resources like Notion templates. Note that there’s a limited allowable storage per plan visit. You can check our pricing page to know more.
Q: Can I edit a product after I have published it?
A: Absolutely. You can update course content, change event details, or swap out digital files at any time, ensuring your community always has the most up-to-date information. Depending on the product, there may be some limitations to what you can edit.
For example, in Challenges, you can only modify the event checkpoints and end-date but can no longer edit the start date when the challenge has already started.
