Mobile app Sections
Screens are customizable, by adding sections and widgets similar to our Site builder.
In addition, to ensure that courses are displayed in your mobile apps under the Course Section Templates → Course Cards, the courses need to be added as in-app purchases. However, it is important to note that your users will be able to access the courses they are already enrolled in without requiring them to be added as in-app purchases.
You can find more information on how to add in-app purchases for iOS here, and for Android here.

Mobile app Widgets
You have the option to incorporate widgets into existing sections as well, like text, labels, buttons, images, counters, and more!
Variables in Sections and Widgets

You can also find the Onboarding screen settings by hovering over the authoring toolbar under the title of the Onboarding screen in the middle of your screen:
You can enable:
→ Onboarding screens to be visible to your users.
→ Skip button for the onboarding screens (Note: If you decide to enable the skip button, your users will be able to continue directly to your app without checking out your onboarding slides).
→ Visibility for already logged-in users.
→ Navigation to sign up or login page after completing the onboarding.
In addition, you can add and rearrange onboarding screens on the left sidebar. After choosing an onboarding screen, you can then change the image, title, and description.
Useful Tips!
