Adding masters and other elements are an added plus! <br />ScottScott Sheridan2021-05-24T13:36:50ZRE: Setting a new default layout?Navdeep Dhillonhttps://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=4809662021-05-21T17:15:26Z2021-05-21T17:15:20ZHi Scott,<br />Here's how you can create your own Starter Lesson with the lesson dimensions that you want (and you can also include other helpful things like Styles and Masters, if you want):<br /><a href="https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/create-your-own-starter-lessons.mp4">https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/create-your-own-starter-lessons.mp4</a><br /><br />Let us know if you have any questions!<br /><br />- NavNavdeep Dhillon2021-05-21T17:15:20ZRE: Setting a new default layout?Scott Sheridanhttps://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=4808102021-05-20T17:37:28Z2021-05-20T17:37:28ZHi Nav, <br />More of option 2. I'm looking for my new lessons to default to my custom dimensions when I start. Our materials aren't consumed on mobile devices (yet) so that's not really an issue for us. It's really not that big of a deal, Just thought it would one less thing to have to think about when we start a new lesson. <br />Thanks! <br />ScottScott Sheridan2021-05-20T17:37:28ZRE: Setting a new default layout?Navdeep Dhillonhttps://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=4806132021-05-19T18:32:56Z2021-05-19T18:32:34ZHi Scott,<br />Are you asking:<br />1. How do I make the lesson use my custom layout when it loads? Or,<br />2. How do I default new lessons to use the dimensions I want?<br /><br />So, a brand new lesson, when it is created, is 1000x563. I don't think you can change that behavior for newly created lessons*. However, you can alter the dimensions of the "Default" Layout immediately after creating the lesson, without having to create a new Layout.<br /><br />Most people don't start with a "new" lesson, they often create from an existing lesson. So if they're starting a new lesson called "LessonOnCats", they usually have a pre-existing "LessonOnDogs" that has the correct dimensions and a Master or other resources that they want to reuse.<br /><br />Also, with the new scaling options, exact lesson size tends to be less of a concern for most people.<br /><br />Here's a video showing the above, let us know if that doesn't clear things up - <a href="https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/lesson-size-and-scaling.mp4">https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/lesson-size-and-scaling.mp4</a><br /><br />* There may be some setting in the installation files to change this, but I'll have to get back to you. Or we may add this to our enhancement list.<br /><br />- NavNavdeep Dhillon2021-05-19T18:32:34ZSetting a new default layout?Scott Sheridanhttps://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=4805882021-05-19T17:45:58Z2021-05-19T17:45:58ZHello Smartbuilder team! <br />We use a larger layout for our courses to ensure we are using up as much real estate as we can in our LMS. I see how you can set a new layout and save it, but is there any way to set that custom layout as a default? <br />Thanks! <br />ScottScott Sheridan2021-05-19T17:45:58Z
