# Customize the template for a cohort-based Course

> Customize the design template for a cohort-based Course.

Customizing the design template for a cohort-based Course determines how students experience the Course.

<Note>
  **Note:**
  The Cohort-Based Courses Feature is only available with the Growth and Pro Plans. Check out [kajabi.com/pricing](https://kajabi.com/pricing) for more details.
</Note>

## What's a Course template?

The Course template on Kajabi is where you can update the design of the Course. When students log into the Course, they'll see Course materials and branding elements the way you've configured them in the template.

## Customize a cohort-based Course template

Cohort-based Courses are designed to work seamlessly with Kajabi's [Momentum template](/articles/products/courses/how-to-customize-your-course-product-with-the-momentum-template). Momentum is currently the only supported template option for creating a cohort-based Course. Additional templates are available to use for traditional evergreen Courses.

Here's an example of a Course homepage created using the Momentum template:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/kajabi-support/4Tq1KxWrCeOGslKH/articles/images/17d1c1c8_22743346292891.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=4Tq1KxWrCeOGslKH&q=85&s=9aea12a0916cb0625593bf802f5a8854" alt="Cohort Course Template.png" width="1886" height="924" data-path="articles/images/17d1c1c8_22743346292891.png" />

### Open the cohort-based Course template for editing

1. Select **Products** from the Dashboard.
2. Then, select **Courses**.
3. Click to open your cohort-based Course.
4. Click the name of the cohort you want to edit.
5. Then, click the **Customize** tab.
6. Navigate to the template image and click **Customize** again.
7. Your template will open in the Page Builder for editing:

<div className="w-full aspect-video">
  <iframe src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/dpc3xjdoaq" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowFullScreen className="w-full h-full" />
</div>

<Note>
  **Note:**
  Template customizations are done at the cohort level. Each cohort template inside the Course must be customized individually.
</Note>

Click on any page element in the Page Builder to open it in the left sidebar editor for editing. Customize template content under the Sections tab of the sidebar editor, and click the Settings tab to customize general page settings like fonts and colors. If you have a Kajabi Community, you can also [embed a Community Circle in the Course](/articles/products/courses/how-to-embed-a-community-channel-in-your-course).

## Live Session page

The Live Session page in the Momentum template is unique to cohort-based Courses. This is where your students will go to join your live sessions. They can access the Live Session page by selecting it from the course outline in the left sidebar:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/kajabi-support/6C2WUJiFcENaSgpZ/articles/images/0506da9c_22407792606747.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=6C2WUJiFcENaSgpZ&q=85&s=cb0a026ea8801b944d248ca83e70b335" alt="Live Session sidebar" width="1600" height="878" data-path="articles/images/0506da9c_22407792606747.png" />

From the Live Session page, your students can join a live video session by clicking the "Join Live" button or download resources you've added by clicking the download links:

<Note>
  **Note:**
  If you're using a custom session location instead of Kajabi Live Video, students will see the location URL or description you entered in the Live Session settings instead of a join button.
</Note>

After your live session finishes, you can also [upload your session recording](../../products/courses/how-to-schedule-live-video-sessions-for-a-cohort-based-course#h_01HN3QDHYT9ZFJYPE7Z0J5P34J) to this page to make it accessible to students who wish to watch it later:

<Tip>
  **Tip:**
  Want to add video content for students to see prior to the start date of the first Live Session? Add a welcome video to the Course homepage that students will be able to view as soon as they log into the Course. Learn more about [how to customize a Course with the Momentum template](/articles/products/courses/how-to-customize-your-course-product-with-the-momentum-template).
