Once your class is live, you can return to Creator Hub to make updates, including editing your class details, adding resources, updating your cover image, and correcting subtitles. When you’re finished, select Save & Publish to publish your changes.
Edit your published class
On desktop
- Log in to Skillshare with your teaching credentials, and go to Creator Hub.
- In the left-hand menu, select My Classes.
- Find the published class you want to update, and select Edit.
- Make your changes.
- Select Save & Publish to publish them.
Before you republish your class, make sure you’ve selected a class language, class level, primary category, and at least one subcategory.
Add or update class resources
You can add downloadable resources for your students, such as a project guide or class slides, from your class project description.
- From the class editor, select Class Details in the side menu.
- Scroll to the Project Description field.
- Select Attach a File.
- Choose the file you want to upload from your computer.
- Select Save & Publish to publish your changes.
Tips for class resources
- It’s best to stick to universal file types that anyone can open, such as PDF.
- The maximum size for a single resource is 104MB, and you can upload as many resources as you need to a class.
- Make sure you've given your resource a meaningful title (e.g., “Skillshare Class Worksheet” instead of “IMG_1234”).
- Avoid special characters such as “+” in your resource filename as these can sometimes corrupt your file and prevent it from being downloaded.
Update your class cover image
Your class cover image is set from the first video lesson in your class.
- Go to the Video Lessons section of the class editor.
- Find the first video lesson, and select the Replace Cover Image icon in the upper-right corner.
- Choose an image sized 1280 x 720 px from your computer, and select Open.
Edit your class subtitles and transcripts
Skillshare automatically generates subtitles for your video lessons. Transcripts are generated from those subtitle files and appear in the Transcripts tab of your class. After you publish a class, subtitles and transcripts can take up to 7 days to appear.
To update your subtitles:
- Go to the Video Lessons section of the class editor.
- Find the video lesson you want to update.
- Select the speech bubble icon. When you hover over it, it should display Edit Captions.
- Edit the subtitles and their corresponding timestamps in the window that opens.
- Select Publish Changes below the text field.
- Repeat these steps for any other lessons you want to update.
- When you’re finished, scroll to the top of the page, and select Save & Publish to publish your changes.
Once your updated subtitles are published, the transcript will update automatically.
At this time, teachers are only able to edit subtitles for English-language classes.
