Feature Ideas

Many have asked for a way for students to be able to save a list of their "favorites" lessons and have a quick way to get back to them

Would like to be able to search from the student dashboard and quickly get access to lessons

It would be cool if there was some sort of progress bar with a checklist where we could enter checklist items and students could check them off on their end as they complete. We set what lessons or work the student is to complete and each student can check them off on their own and see the progress bar fill up each month.

To help support the idea of course pre-requisites, which is useful in many training situations, create a new section that is to be used on the dashboard. The site owner would manually select the list of "products" they wish to show (and decide on the type of link being used ex: purchase, landing page, custom, etc.), and some other settings like "allow enrollment if course xyz is completed". Then if the user completes the specified course these "next step" options would be unlocked for them to access. Section settings would allow the section to either disappear after people took the related courses or stay active and allow the ability to add/remove products as desired.

Many have asked for a video to popup at key points in the course. This would be added as an option for plaYEAH

I would LOVE to have a Calendar PowerUp for Live Classes. Especially one that would allow for a 'featured' section instead of a Banner Section on SideNav (see image below).

Would love for members to be able to click on the lesson headings that appear under the content section on course landing pages to be able to navigate to that exact section. This way, when members enter courses from the course landing page, they will be able to easily navigate to a lesson that interests them, instead of having to navigate to lessons from the course player (which we all know is a bit clunky). I have attached a screenshot of the section I am referring to.

Many have asked for a way to create a better navigation (top menu_ that would have multiple levels to it. This is typically referred as a "Mega menu". We are exploring ways to easily create this menu using a simple bullet list and then have the default header be replaced on all pages

I took a course this week on the topic of "building a healthy membership". One big thing I took away from the course was this: The number one reason people cancel a membership is because of overwhelm. Think about why that is. They are paying for the membership, getting TONS of great content that they can’t consume because they are busy. They feel guilty and know that it’s a waste. So they cancel! Not because it’s bad content, it’s just too much! The solution to this could be a success path! A success path is a series of steps or stages that you create that help get your members from where they ARE to where they WANT TO BE in the area that your membership site covers. Is this a feature that can be added to side nav or flix? I would love being able to create a clear and visual success path that breaks the courses you have in a membership into steps, so that members see progress from day 1.

This might be similar to another suggestion, but we are currently using Bundles as a way to offer certificates when they complete several courses in the same content area. We would really like to be able to have some sort of progress feature so in the student dashboard they can see their progress in completing different bundle, so they know how much they have left to go to earning the certificate.

Not really new but from the fb-group. The more I create lessons in Thinkific the more I would like to be able to use sections in the lessons!

I love SNAP course pages and would be nice to have the bundles pages match.

Three Ding Feature requests: I want Ding to show on all of my Thinkific non-course-player pages: on the dashboard, but also the home page and the "all courses" page - because i want folks who are not yet students to see that there's lots of cool stuff being added all the time. Currently, my understanding is that i need to add it to those three pages individually, and then i have to publish posts three times. It would be super spiffy to be able to post once to all these three locations, or at least to be able to copy the content from one to the other (like the copy section in the page builder works, or copy lesson in the course content). Which brings me to second feature request: ooooh, i would LOVE to name the posts instead of each one being called "announcement post". That way i can easily find something that i want to copy or duplicate... And the third one: if we could post across the dashboard and the not-logged-in pages, we'd need an if:else for [NAME], because people who aren't logged in wouldn't have a name to call, and then it just shows up with an "obviously a name is supposed to go here" gap. Thank you!!

This was requested by Ian and a few others inside the Facebook group. The current modules sections do not have a way to "click them". Would like to have similar sections (or an option added to these) that will allow them to be clickable

For some memberships and times, the student does not want to "figure" it out. They would like a way to randomly be told what to watch
