Overview
The Course Editor now displays stories in a timeline view instead of tiles. Stories are grouped by milestone (e.g. Pre-boarding, Onboarding) and, within each milestone, by unlock moment (e.g. "Available at start", "7 days before", "After 5 days"). This gives admins a clearer picture of when each story becomes available to a new hire, and makes it easier to reorder, tag, and manage stories without leaving the overview.
Example
For instance, under the Pre-boarding milestone you might have a "7 days before" unlock moment containing the story "Klaar voor de start", so new hires receive it a week before their first day.
📌 Important:
As of July 2026, the Stories timeline has replaced the previous tile-based view for managing stories within a course.
Stories are grouped by
Milestone: Pre-boarding, Onboarding or Offboarding
Unlock moment Available at start, 7 days before, After 5 days
Understanding the course structure
Your onboarding content is organised into four levels:
Courses: the main sections of your onboarding journey, such as Pre-boarding and Onboarding.
Stories: collections of content within a course.
Chapters: sections within a story that group related information.
Pages: individual pieces of content within a chapter, such as text, images, videos, or questions.
You can expand or collapse a story or chapter by clicking the arrow next to its title.
Steps to use the Stories timeline in the Course Editor
→ Access the Course Editor
To open the Course Editor, navigate to the Courses section in the left menu.
You will land on the Courses overview, where all courses are displayed as tiles.
Click on Edit to edit the course and see the stories timeline
→ Navigate the Stories timeline
When you open a course, the Stories timeline gives you a full view of all stories, grouped by milestone and unlock moment.
Milestones and unlock moments
The timeline groups stories into milestones, such as Pre-boarding or Onboarding. Within each milestone, stories are grouped again by unlock moment — this tells you when a story becomes available (e.g. Available at start, 7 days before, After 5 days).

Story cards
Cover image and name — so you can quickly recognise the story.
Status — Live (green) means it's published, Draft (orange) means it's still being worked on.
Number of chapters or pages — how many chapters (or pages, depending on the story's content type) are inside the story.
Tags — click Assign tags to add or view tags.
More options — click the three-dot menu for extra actions.
You can also:
Click the ℹ️ icon next to a milestone name to learn more about it.
Click the pencil icon next to an unlock moment (e.g. "After 5 days") to change when it triggers.
Check the story count under each unlock moment (e.g. "4 stories") to see how much content it contains.
→ Manage chapters and pages within a story
Within a story, you can add new chapters, reorder chapters and pages, and use the three-dot menu on each chapter or page for more actions.

📌 Note: Drag and drop a chapter or page to move it to a new position within the story.
→ Reorder stories
Stories that share the same unlock moment can be reordered by dragging them into a new position.
Locate the stories grouped under the same unlock moment label.
Click and hold the drag handle (⠿) on the left of a story card.
Drag the story up or down to its new position within that unlock moment.
Release to drop the story into place.
📌 Important: Reordering only changes the display order — all stories within the same unlock moment still unlock at the same time.
→ Switch display language
If your course supports multiple languages, you can switch the display language from the toolbar.
Locate the language selector dropdown in the toolbar.
Select your desired language from the list.
Story titles will update to display names in the selected language.
→ Preview the course
Before publishing, you can use the Preview button to check how the course will look to the user.
Click the Preview button in the top-right corner of the editor.
Review the course as it will appear to new hires, including story order and content.
Close the preview and return to the editor to make any final adjustments.
Tips for organising your onboarding content
Use clear, descriptive titles so admins can easily recognise each story, chapter, and page.
Group related information into chapters to keep stories organised.
Use unlock moments to spread content across the onboarding journey.
Check the Live/Draft status to make sure the correct content is published.
Use tags when different groups of employees need different content.
