Wix Online Programs: Adding Sections and Steps to Your Program
Enrich your program by adding steps for participants to follow and reach their goal. For self-paced programs, you can group steps into sections to help maintain organization and ensure a clear path for progression. For scheduled programs, you can add steps to specific days or dates.
Adding steps to your program
Add steps to build your online program and guide participants through the content. You can use different step types, such as articles, videos, quizzes, and imported steps. This caters to diverse learning styles, deepening comprehension.
Note:
Steps added for future days go into the program curriculum. Steps added for past days are marked as "missed" for existing participants, and are hidden from those who have completed the program.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about adding sections and steps to your program.
Can I add steps to published programs that already have participants?
Yes. You can add steps at any time to a program that is live and has participants.
What happens when I add steps for past or future days in a program?
Creating steps for future days adds them to the program curriculum. However, if you add steps for days that have passed, they will be marked as missed (in red) for participants.
What happens to newly added steps for participants who have completed a program?
Newly added steps won't be visible for those participants who have already finished the program.
What is the maximum number of steps and sections that I can add?
You can add a maximum of 2,000 steps and 1,000 sections to a single program.
What if I need more than 2,000 steps or 1,000 sections for my program?
While these limits are in place to maintain optimal program performance, we understand the need for flexibility. We recommend breaking your program into multiple smaller programs. This allows you to create a more focused program experience.
Why do participants see different buttons on their steps?
The button participants see depends on the program type:
Self-paced programs: Participants always see Complete step or Send, regardless of step order. Clicking either button marks the step as done and automatically takes them to the next step.
Scheduled programs: Participants see Complete step or Send by default. If they previously skipped a mandatory step, the button changes to Go to required step, directing them to complete the missed step first.
Note: Participants can undo any completed step at any time.
