Create a training track

Create a training track

A training track (roadmap) is the largest content unit on the site — a multi-section learning journey. Creating one starts with a single track post, and, exactly as with courses, the defining rule is that the track post's slug must equal its public track tag. That equality lets the theme resolve the track page and gather its section lessons.

Begin in Ghost Admin by creating the public track tag under Settings → Tags — for example a tag named "Admin Roadmap" with slug admin-roadmap and a strong description (used on the card and for SEO). Then create the track post and set its URL slug to the identical value, admin-roadmap.

Public track tag:  name "Admin Roadmap"   slug: admin-roadmap
Track post slug:   admin-roadmap          <- identical
Tags on track post (in order):
  1. admin-roadmap        <- PRIMARY: the public track tag
  2. #training            <- marks the post as a track
  3. #level-beginner      <- the roadmap's overall level

Tag the track post in order: the primary tag is the public track tag, then the internal #training tag that marks it as a roadmap, then a single #level-* tag for the overall difficulty. Write the body as a roadmap overview — 150 to 200 words describing the journey end to end, the sections a learner will pass through, and the outcome (for a certification track, the exam it prepares you for).

Publish the track post at an early date, because — like courses — the track and its lessons are ordered by published date, and the track post should lead. Once published, the theme treats it as the roadmap page at /training/admin-roadmap/.

At this point you have an empty roadmap shell. The next doc explains how to add the sections and the section-content lessons that fill it, including the two-tag scheme that nests lessons under the track while grouping them into sections.
