What is a Page card?
A Page card is a course card for creating learning content. It gives you a flexible page where you can add text, media, formatting, and interactive blocks. Use Page cards when you want to explain a topic, guide learners through a process, or add supporting activities inside a course.
For example, you can use a Page card to:
Introduce a new concept
Explain a workflow step by step
Add a video with supporting text
Check understanding with an interactive element
Add content to a Page card
You can add content to a Page card by typing / (slash) in the editor. This opens a menu with the available content options.
To add content:
Open your course in Sana Create.
Select a Page card.
Click inside the page editor.
Type /.
Select the content option you want to add.
Content options in the / (slash) menu
The / (slash) menu lets you add different types of content to a Page card. You can use these options to format text, add media, or make the page more interactive.
Text and format

Text | Use it for standard body content. | Add an explanation of a concept, a short introduction, or supporting details below a heading. |
Heading | Use it to divide the page into sections. | Add headings like “Before you start,” “Key concepts,” or “Next steps.” |
Numbered list | Use it for steps that must happen in a specific order. | Explain how to submit a request or complete a workflow. |
Bulleted list | Use it when the order doesn’t matter. | List benefits, requirements, examples, or key takeaways. |
Checklist | Use it when learners need to track tasks or confirm completion. | Add a checklist for course preparation, onboarding steps, or actions to complete after a lesson. |

Best practices
Use Page cards to keep learning focused and easy to follow.
Start with a clear heading
Keep each section short
Use interactive options when learners need to respond, reflect, compare, or rate something
Use lists for scannable information
Use media when it adds context
Avoid adding too many different block types to one page
If a page gets long, split it into multiple Page cards. This keeps the course easier to navigate.
