The content type decides how people take your content and which settings you get. Every type starts from Create at the top of Manage › Content, or the + at the top of the sidebar.
How it works
Menu option | What you get | Use it for |
Create a Nugget | A single page of learning, such as a short guide, a video or a file. | A quick how-to, like "Offering a Gift Receipt". |
Create a Course › Start from Blank | Sections of lessons, with optional assessments. | Longer learning, like "Handling Customer Complaints". |
Create a Course › Upload SCORM | A course from a SCORM package built in another authoring tool. | E-learning you already have. |
Create a Course › Use Easygenerator | Opens Easygenerator, where you build the course instead of in HowNow. | Teams that already author in Easygenerator. |
Create a Pathway | Existing content put in order as steps. | Onboarding or a learning journey. |
Create a Guru | An AI assistant that answers questions and coaches people from the knowledge you give it. | On-the-job questions and practice. |
Host a Session › Event | An in-person session at an address, with dates and times people book. | Workshops and store walkthroughs. |
Host a Session › Live Class | A virtual class with bookable slots, run on HowNow Virtual, your own meeting link or, once it's connected, GoToWebinar. | Small, interactive group sessions. |
Host a Session › Webinar | A virtual broadcast people book, run on HowNow Virtual or your own meeting link. | Talks and Q&As for a bigger audience. |
Who can create content
You need Admin, Manager or Contributor access. Read Only users don't see Create or the + button.
Note: Create a Guru, Upload SCORM and Use Easygenerator only appear if they're switched on for your workspace. If one is missing, ask your admin.
Good to know
Each option opens its editor in a new browser tab, so keep Manage › Content open to get back to it.
Once anyone has booked a live class or webinar, you can't change how it's hosted.
