## Overview
A Pathway groups learning into an ordered sequence of steps — content, Events, Forms and text you write yourself — so your learners work through it from start to finish. Creating a Pathway takes just a moment: SuperPath sets up an empty, unpublished Pathway and opens it in the editor, ready for you to name it and add steps.

## Create a new Pathway
1. Go to **Pathways**.
2. Click **Create Pathway** at the top right. (If you have no Pathways yet, click **Add new pathway** on the empty-state screen instead.)
3. SuperPath creates a new Pathway called **Untitled pathway** and opens it in the editor.

> **Note:** Creating and editing a Pathway needs a larger screen. On a phone, the Pathways page shows the message *"To make a new pathway or update an existing pathway, please use a desktop or tablet device"* — switch to a desktop or tablet to build your Pathway.

## Name your Pathway and add steps
1. In the editor, replace **Untitled pathway** with a title, and add a subtitle that summarises what the Pathway is about.
2. Use **Add Step** to build out the Pathway — add content, an Event, a Form, or write your own text. See *How to Add Your Own Content to a Pathway* for the detail.
3. Open the **Pathway settings** panel (the **Settings** cog in the pathway header) to set the category, level, instructor, certificate and more.

## Publish your Pathway
A new Pathway starts as a draft with an **Unpublished** status, so learners can't see or be assigned to it yet. When it's ready, publish it — you can then assign it to people and, if you choose, make it available in the Library.

## Things to keep in mind
* A brand-new Pathway is created empty and Unpublished — it won't appear to learners until you publish it.
* You can duplicate an existing Pathway instead of starting from scratch: use the copy action on the Pathways list or in the Pathway settings.
* Pathways must be created and edited on a desktop or tablet, not a phone.

## FAQs
**Where do new Pathways appear?**
Every Pathway you create is listed on the **Pathways** page, where you can search, filter, open, assign, duplicate or delete it.

**Can I start from a template instead?**
Yes — browse the templates in the Library for inspiration, then duplicate one and adapt it. Creating from scratch gives you an empty Pathway to build up yourself.

**Why can't I create a Pathway on my phone?**
Pathway authoring is designed for a desktop or tablet. On a phone the page shows an information message asking you to switch devices.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can create Pathways. **People Managers**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot create them.
