What's new in CourseKit
What has changed over the last weeks for you as a coach and for your members – dated, in the words of the interface. No technical internals.

Selling through ThriveCart
You can now connect ThriveCart as your payment provider: under “Sales” a guide walks you through the secret word and the webhook. Every purchase unlocks the mapped course – bumps and upsells too, each part its own course. Subscription payments extend access, a refund locks it.

Release lessons in a fixed period
Next to “At once” and “After … days”, “Release” in the lesson settings now offers “Fixed period”: the lesson opens for every member at the same time and, if you like, closes again on an end date – for the recording of a live session, say. Members see “Until …” and, after the end, “Ended”.

Course access until a fixed date
Under “Settings” → “Access length” you can now choose “Until date …” instead of a number of days: every purchase then runs through that day. Whoever buys after the end date gets no access; the payment shows up with a warning among the payment events.

October 2026
- Appearance
New font: Cal Sans
Under “Appearance” you can now pick Cal Sans as “Heading font” and as “Body font” – a clear, geometric typeface that stays calm in large headings. The admin itself now sets its headings in Cal Sans too.

Sort members by clicking a column
In the member list, a click on “Member”, “Access”, “Progress” or “Last active” sorts the table, a second click reverses the order. An arrow shows what it is sorted by. “Sort by” stays for visit days, watch time and completed, and on the phone.

Three new presets: Pistazie, Brandung, Flamingo
Under “Appearance” there are now twelve presets: Pistazie (olive and Bordeaux on sand), Brandung (slate blue on warm stone) and Flamingo (petrol and pink) are new, each with a light and a dark version.

Film: your first course in under two minutes
In the handbook, a narrated film with captions shows how the empty home page becomes a published course – step by step in the real admin.

The handbook right inside the admin
The admin's sidebar has “Help”. Every article shows excerpts of the admin with numbered markers and short films, and search finds articles and sections. The same articles are public at coursekit.de/docs.

A clearer members list on the phone
On a phone the member list's filters sit in one row you swipe sideways, and sorting has a row of its own. The list starts without scrolling.

The member area on the phone, rethought
A course's outline opens as a sheet of its own, a bottom bar leads to the next lesson in every lesson, and the course chapters fold open and shut. “Continue reading” sits right under the title. Your member area can be placed on the home screen with your name and your logo.

A calmer admin
The course editor shows outline, lesson and settings side by side, and every page saves with a single bar. Settings have a navigation of their own, “Appearance” is an editor with a live preview, and the start page leads you to the next steps. Usage numbers are gathered under “Analytics”.

A new default design, “Klar”
New member areas start with the design “Klar” in the “Handbook” layout. Designs you have already saved do not change.

Set the logo's height yourself
Under “Appearance”, in “Logo & icon”, a slider sets how tall your logo stands in the member area's header.

Edit members' first and last names
You correct members' first and last names yourself, with the pencil beside the name – on the member's page and in the member list. When you add someone by hand, the form asks for both names from the start.

See the unlock e-mail before it goes out
In the e-mail settings, a preview shows the mail members get after a purchase – with your logo, a button in your colours and your greeting as you type it.

Formatted descriptions for courses and lessons
You format the description of a course or a lesson with a toolbar: heading and subheading, bold, italic, underline, lists and links.

Modules and lessons as drafts
Modules and lessons have a status of their own, like courses. New modules and lessons in a published course start as drafts: members do not see them, you do – marked. You decide when they go live.
Read the guide: Courses, modules and lessons - Courses and content
Materials up to 50 MB, audio that plays in the lesson
Upload materials up to 50 MB (PDF, MP3, M4A, ZIP, images, Word, Excel, PowerPoint). An MP3 or M4A file plays right in the lesson's player and can also be downloaded – for example as an audio version next to a video.

Access for a number of days or until a date
When you grant access by hand, you choose whether it runs for a number of days or until a day. An end date holds until the end of that day. Access that ends later, or never, is never shortened by a grant.
Read the guide: Access and durations - Admin
A date format of your own choice
Besides the language, each person chooses how dates appear: like the language, 31.12.2026, 31/12/2026, 12/31/2026 with a 12-hour clock, or 2026-12-31. This applies to coaches and members.

Invitations and access to all courses
With “Send invitation” you invite selected members by e-mail with a personal sign-in link; “Not invited yet” is a filter of the list. An import or a manual grant can open every published course at once – with one e-mail per person.
Read the guide: Managing members - Courses and content
A withdrawn course is closed to members
With “Withdraw”, lessons, materials and audio are closed to every member at once – not only on the course page. If members currently have access, CourseKit asks first. Publish the course again and the access is back.

Quizzes, certificates, cohorts and a learning-time record
A lesson can be a quiz that the server grades. Whoever completes a course gets a certificate as a PDF with a verification page. Cohorts release lessons from a shared start date, and a learning-time record shows how long someone spent in the course.

Audio lessons
A lesson can be text, video or audio. MP3 and M4A files play in a player of their own that keeps going with the screen locked and shows the lesson on the lock screen.
