Title

Edit your channel title in both English and Dutch.

Note: the channel slug will remain the same.

Subtitle

Add a short description or slogan for your channel in English and/or Dutch.

Use the start page to explain how visitors can use your channel and what types of lessons are available. Add this in both English and/or Dutch. Click the NL or EN button to select the page for that language.

Setting up your Start and About pages works just like a lesson plan. Click + Add to insert a component. Choose from the options in the image below.

Rearrange the order of components easily with the arrow icons.

Note: All components (except the title) span the width of three columns. Adjust the width of a text box, image, or video using the icon with three blocks, just below the Bold (B) icon.

File formats for the start- and about page:

256 × 82 px
532 × 172 px
1024 × 330 px

Setting up the About page works the same as the Start page.

💡 Tip: Use your About page to introduce your organisation and optionally add a link to your website.

You can organise your channel in two ways:

Create folders in your Publishing folder
Or organise them as tabs (only available via our support team — contact support@lessonup.com)

Add an image to your (sub)folders:

Go to your Publishing folder.
Right-click on the red folder you’ve added.
Select Adjust settings.
Choose an image and add a short description.
