What is Create?
Sana's AI-assisted authoring tool Sana Create makes it easy to design and share world-class training with your team. Invite team members to collaborate, see real-time changes, and let Sana suggest relevant questions to add to your courses and lessons.
You can access the authoring tool Create in the sidebar. There, you will find a list of all the existing courses in your organization.
Create and edit courses
To create a new course, click "Create new". The new course will be opened in the editor.
To edit an existing course, click the course title from the list in Create. This will open up the course in the editor.
💡 Pro tip: Add a course description to help your learners understand why they should take this course.
Editor shortcuts and features
1. A shortcut to your toolbar
Type / to view and insert any of the content blocks available - from text paragraphs to code snippets, and use the delete key to remove them.
2. Undo/Redo changes
When deleting a card, a notification will appear in the bottom right corner, allowing you to quickly undo the action by pressing 'Undo'
3. Bulk actions
You can choose multiple cards in the editor sidebar by holding in cmd on Mac and ctrl on Windows and perform any of the following actions:
Duplicate/delete or copy all cards
Add all selected cards to a new module
Change color theme for all selected cards (after selecting the cards, choose a theme from the topbar)
Drag and drop to move cards in the sidebar
💡 Pro Tip: Need to transfer cards between courses quickly? Simply select all the cards you wish to move and click "Copy." Then, navigate to the target course, find the card above where you want to insert the copied cards, click on the three dots, and select "Paste."
3. Quickly change colors on columns and tables
Enhance your course's appearance by customizing the colors in columns and tables. To change a column's theme, hover over the column to find the theme button. For table cell customization, hover over the table to access the three-dot menu and select "Cell theme."
💡 Pro Tip: Did you know you can insert images in columns? This allows you to create a structure of image + text which is fully customized. Give it a try yourself and see the difference!
