Every course starts on the new course screen, which greets you with “Let’s start building your course” and three ways to build:

Start Manually

Fill in the course details, then add sections, pages, and blocks yourself. Full control over structure and content.

Generate Course with AI

Provide your existing material or describe the course, and AI drafts the outline, lessons, quizzes, and roleplays for you to edit.

Import A Course

Bring in an Articulate Rise SCORM Export (.zip) and Exec rebuilds it as a native course.
Manual authoring is the baseline path, and it is what the rest of this page covers. The AI and SCORM paths are alternatives that land you in the same editor afterward.
