Getting Started as an Admin
A tour of your dashboard and the first things to set up after signing up.
When you register a new school on Coursel, you land on your own Dashboard — this is your control center for everything: courses, students, instructors, payments, and your public website.
- 1Open the sidebar and note the four main areas: Learning (courses, quizzes, assignments, certificates), Monetization (website builder, coupons, bundles, groups), Engage (chat, announcements, submissions), and Admin (users, billing, media).
- 2Go to Settings and set your school name, logo, and brand color — this instantly re-colors your entire dashboard and public website to match your brand.
- 3If you have a custom domain, add it under Settings → Domain, then follow the DNS instructions shown there.
- 4Check your Dashboard home page for the "Get started" checklist — it tracks branding, your first course, your first instructor, and your first student, and disappears once all four are done.
💡
You don't have to finish every setup step before inviting people — students and instructors can join while you're still building your first course.
