  1. Start with your course outline or planning sheet.
  2. Navigate to CRM > HubLMS Courses in HubSpot.
  3. Click "create a HubLMS course" in the top right.
  4. Copy the course name from your planning sheet and paste it into the name field.
  5. Set visibility (start with Hidden or Inactive until ready) and status (Inactive recommended initially).
  6. Click "create" to set up the course record in the CRM.
  7. Navigate to Content > Website Pages.
  8. Click "create" in the top right.
  9. If prompted, choose the HubLMS Enterprise theme.
  10. Search for and select the "HubLMS course main" template.
  11. This will deploy a default starting page for your course.
  12. Add your course title to the page.
  13. Click the course section (often labeled "begin course") to access lesson/chapter configuration.
  14. Add chapters by clicking "add" at the chapter level and name them.
  15. Within a chapter, click "add" to add lessons.
  16. For each lesson, add the lesson name, upload or select a thumbnail image, enter the video duration, paste the video URL (MP4 recommended) or embed code (Vimeo/Wistia recommended due to HubSpot video caps), and add supporting text or a transcript.
  17. Repeat step 16 for all lessons in the chapter.
  18. Add additional chapters and lessons as needed.

  22. Once content is added, ensure the page has a title in the page editor.
  23. Go to the page settings, update the internal and public page names, domain, and URL slug (recommend using conventions like /lms/course/). Add a featured image if desired.
  24. Save the page settings.
  25. Publish the website page.
  26. To link the page to the CRM record, copy the URL of the published course page.
  27. Go back to CRM > HubLMS Courses and open the record for the course you just created.
  28. Paste the copied URL into the "Course URL" field.
  29. Update the visibility status if it was set to Inactive or Hidden initially (e.g., Public).
  30. Save the course record.
