Very Important Note:

- Library / Carousel View does not support more than 2-level products like the example above. 

- When trying to convert a 3-level course to a carousel view, the first level will be removed however the content will remain, and the very first section level only will be removed permanently. 

 

4. Change a 3-level course from a list view to a carousel view and vice versa: 

  • In the example below, we have a 3-level course with main sections "Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3".
  • Each main section has a sub-section of lectures "Let's begin, Let's continue, and Let's rest".
  • Each sub-section has content videos under it and that's where the name of the 3-level course comes from.
  • When converting from a list to a carousel view, the main sections will be removed permanently but the content will remain the same "Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 will be removed permanently".

5. Frequently Asked Questions FAQs:

  • Do I need to resubmit my app to enjoy the new library/carousel view?

No, there's no need to resubmit your app to Apple/Google to get the new view, but you need to make sure that the app is up to date, whenever you get the notification of a new version of your app please make sure to click on it.

The easiest way is to remove the app and download it again from the App Store or Google Play Store. 

 

  • I don't add sections to my courses and lessons, can I still use the Library View? 

Yes! You can always use the library/carousel view; the app will ask you to add a section title when you are switching from list to carousel view like below.
