Sections Overview
What Is a Section?
A section is a single step or screen within a class. Guests move through sections one at a time using the back and next buttons. Each section has a type that determines what the guest sees and does on that screen.
Section Types
Every class has exactly one Check-In section (always first) and one Completion section (always last). Between them, you can add any combination of the following section types:
| Section Type | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Check-In | Guests enter their email to start the class. Always the first section. |
| Text | Displays a title and rich text content (the simplest section type). |
| Video | Embeds a YouTube video. Optionally adds timed questions that pause playback. |
| Form | Collects data through custom fields (text, dropdowns, file uploads, ministry suggestions, etc.). |
| Test | Administers a built-in personality or strengths assessment (Spiritual Gifts, DISC, or Enneagram). |
| Branch | Presents choices and routes the guest to different paths based on their selection. |
| Completion | The final screen. Can recommend other classes. Always the last section. |
How Sections Work in the Builder
Navigating Sections
The section sidebar on the left side of the class builder lists all sections in order. Click any section in the sidebar to jump to its editor.
Adding a Section
1. In the section sidebar, click the "+" insert button between two existing sections.
2. A type picker appears. Select the section type you want to add.
3. The new section is created and you are taken into its editor.
Reordering Sections
Drag any section in the sidebar to a new position. The new order saves automatically.
Restriction: The Check-In section always stays first and the Completion section always stays last. They cannot be moved.
Duplicating a Section
Most section types can be duplicated using the duplicate icon in the section topbar. A copy of the section is inserted directly after the original.
Restriction: Check-In and Completion sections cannot be duplicated.
Deleting a Section
Click the delete icon in the section topbar. Confirm the deletion.
Warning: Deleting a section permanently removes it and any associated content. It does not delete guest submission data that was already recorded.
Restriction: Check-In and Completion sections cannot be deleted.
Section Settings (Title and Body Text)
Every section type has a title and optional body text. These are edited through the section header modal:
• Click the section title at the top of the editor to open a modal and rename the section.
• Click the body text area to open a rich text editor modal.
The rich text editor supports: bold, italic, underline, headings (H1, H2), blockquote, ordered and unordered lists, links, and text alignment.
Branch Sub-Sections
Branch sections can contain sub-sections — child sections that only appear for guests who selected a specific branch. Sub-sections are nested under their parent branch in the sidebar and are not accessible to guests on other paths.

Common Questions
How many sections can a class have? There is no hard limit. Classes can have as many sections as needed.
Can I add the same section type more than once? Yes. For example, you can have multiple Form sections or multiple Video sections in the same class.
Do guests have to complete sections in order? Yes. Guests move through sections sequentially. They cannot skip ahead unless routed by a Branch section.
What happens if I delete a section that already has guest submissions? The section is removed from the class builder, but previously recorded submission data for that section remains visible in the Guest detail view.
