What is the Induction Editor?

The Induction Editor is where you build the pages of your online induction. Each page can have text, pictures, a video, a voice-over, files and a quiz question. You can change an induction at any time. People who start it after you save see the new version.

Rules to know

  • Who: the Account owner, Administration Users, Site Administrators and Site Managers. Site roles can only open inductions at their own sites.
  • Text to speech: each month you can convert Lite 5, Team 20, Team Plus 40, Team Pro 70 or Enterprise 100 pages. The free trial has 5. It starts again each month, even on yearly billing.
  • Your own videos: Team 2, Team Plus 5, Team Pro 10 and Enterprise 20 videos, with extra packs of 10 to buy. Lite can link YouTube and Vimeo videos only.
  • Video size: up to 200 MB on Team, 300 MB on Team Plus, 600 MB on Team Pro and 900 MB on Enterprise.
  • Questions: one question per page. A question can have more than one right answer. Input box answers always count as right.
  • AI questions each month: Lite 10, Team 20, Team Plus 40, Team Pro 60, Enterprise 80. The free trial has 20. Each one writes one question with four answers from the page text. Always check it.
  • Sections: only when Course sections is on in the induction’s Settings (Team and up, and the free trial). People don’t see section names.
  • Files: each extra file can be up to 15 MB.
  • Saving: your work saves itself every 4 minutes. Click Save to save straight away.
  • One editor at a time: if another admin has the induction open, you see This induction is being edited and can’t open it. It unlocks about 5 minutes after they close it.
