# Simple / Advanced form mode

> Course creation and live-class scheduling default to Simple — only the essentials. Flip to Advanced for the full surface.

Last updated 2026-05-20 · Source: https://prolaud.com/help/simple-advanced

Two forms in the dashboard now ship a Simple / Advanced toggle in the header: Create New Course (/dashboard/courses/new) and Schedule a Live Class (/dashboard/classes/new). The toggle controls how much of the form is visible.

## Course creation — Simple mode

- Basic Information (title, subtitle, description, category, level, language)
- Course Curriculum (modules + lessons)
- Course thumbnail
- Pricing

Advanced adds back: Learning Outcomes, Certificate template, Requirements.

## Live-class scheduling — Simple mode

- Title
- Date & time + duration
- In-house room URL preview (auto-generated)
- One-line notification summary ("24 students will be notified via In-app · Email · WhatsApp")

Advanced adds back: Course link, Description, Host picker, Provider override (Zoom / Meet / Teams), Custom URL, Recurrence card, per-channel notification toggles.

## Mode sticks per browser

Each toggle stores its preference in localStorage so power users don't flip it every time. Defaults to Simple for first-time visitors.

> **Note:** All fields hidden in Simple mode have sensible defaults applied at save time — they're not dropped from the database. You can fill them in later from the course / class settings pages.
