Limited Content Types in Course Sections (Lesson vs Intro)

While creating a course in Fluent Community, I noticed that within a section I can only add a Lesson or a Quiz. Even if I want to add a simple introduction, it still has to be created as a Lesson. This creates a structural issue where:

  • Lesson 1 becomes the Intro
  • Lesson 2 becomes the actual first lesson

This can be confusing from both a creator and learner perspective. Additionally, the term “Lesson” feels limiting. In many cases, content could be better labeled as Introduction, Chapter, Topic, or Overview, rather than forcing everything into a “Lesson” format.

It would be great to have more flexibility in content types and naming to improve course clarity and learning flow.

A possible improvement could be:

  • An “Intro / Overview” content type
  • Or the ability to rename “Lesson” labels at the course or section level
