Whether you're designing a program from scratch or reusing content from previous ones, the builder offers an intuitive, streamlined workflow to help you save time and increase productivity.

-

Program Overview
The program overview is a new way of viewing your program as an admin and program designer. The purpose of this view is to display all the information that is useful when designing or managing a program, such as blocks, events, milestones, assignments, sessions, tasks, due dates, locks and goals.
You will use the overview to quickly design a new program or modify an existing program. With a single click, you can create blocks, events, milestones, or reuse content from other programs. You can also add sessions and assignments in one step, allowing you to design a full program before fine-tuning the content.
Use the overview to:
- Get an overview of your program
- Create new modules - Blocks, Events and Milestones
- Import modules from your other programs to reuse
- Add sessions and assignments, either new ones or reuse existing ones from your other programs
- Duplicate modules
- Edit titles
- Delete modules, assignments or sessions
- Select what information to display
- Quickly adjust the program structure via drag-and-drop
Content Editor
Once your program structure is in place, you're ready to create content, or if you prefer, reuse existing content from your template programs. You can search the library for blocks, events, sessions, or assignments, and quickly import the content you need into your new program.
The new layout ensures you have everything you need to design engaging assignments and sessions without switching views.
We believe that the new layout and workflows in the overview and content editor will allow you to design and create better programs faster while at the same time, building up a library full of re-usable content that will save you even more time in the future.
Use the content editor to:
- Add content to your assignments and sessions
- Modify content that you imported from other programs
- Add and manage tasks
- Add and manage locks
- Add due dates as you create your tasks
Features not yet available in the content editor
As the testing proceeds, we will add more features as soon as they are available. In this phase, there are a few features still not available:
- Managing resources
- Managing goals
- Managing teams in team tasks
There are also several adjustments for the available features planned, so please note that the features available today will change.
The Date Management View
When your new program is ready and you are ready to set due dates for all tasks, or if you are just preparing a new instance of an existing program, the date management view is where you quickly can adjust all the dates.
Use the date management view to:
- Adjust program start and end dates
- Set due dates for tasks
- Set dates for events
- Lock blocks, events, assignments or sessions by date or indefinitely
- Use “days from start” for programs with individual start dates
Beta Testing Opportunity
We’re inviting you to participate in beta testing! Your feedback during this phase is crucial to ensuring the new builder is user-friendly and meets your needs. If you want to become a beta tester, please contact us at support@promoteint.com.

Compatibility Between Builders
The new program builder is fully compatible with programs created in the previous builder. This means that you can edit your existing programs in the new builder without needing to convert anything, and any programs created in the new builder can still be edited in the old one.
You can test out the new builder confidently, knowing that all your content will remain intact and fully accessible across both versions.
