Content Library - Soul Help Center

Host your own meditations, recordings, articles and downloads, alone or grouped into collections, free or paid.

The Content Library is where you keep the things you've made: guided meditations, class recordings, videos, PDFs and workbooks, images, links and written articles. Each piece is a Content Item. You can publish items on their own or gather them into Collections (a series, a program, a themed set). Every item and collection can be free or paid, open to everyone or kept for your subscribers.

Find it under Offerings → Content Library: "Organize and manage your digital content."

When to use the Content Library

What members experience

A visitor finds your content in the Contents or Collections section of your portal, in Highlights, or through a link you shared.
They open an item. What happens next depends on how you set it up:
- Free, no form: they can watch, listen or read straight away. No account needed.
- Free with a form: they see "Quick Form Required". If they aren't signed in, they click Get Access to sign in or create an account first. Then they fill in your form and get in.
- Paid: they see "Premium Content", the price and "One-time purchase for instant access", then click Buy Now and pay by card with Pay $X.
- Free for subscribers: subscribers see Claim Free Access. Everyone else pays.
- Private: non-subscribers see "Subscribers Only" and Subscribe Now (Subscribe First if the item also has a price). A private collection shows Subscription Required with Subscribe Now.
Once they have access, the item plays or opens on the page:
- Audio: an in-page player.
- Video: an in-page player.
- Article: the full text on the page.
- Image: a viewer, plus Download Image.
- PDF or other file: Download PDF, Download Document, Download Spreadsheet, Download ZIP or Download File.
- Link: Visit Link.
Public and unlisted items have a Share button. Private items don't.

Member links look like this:

What	Link
All your standalone items	`https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/content-library`
All your collections	`https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/collections`
One standalone item	`https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/content/<content-id>`
One collection	`https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/content-library/<collection-id>`
An item inside a collection	`https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/content-library/<collection-id>/<content-id>`

You don't need to build these by hand. Use Copy Link or Share in the dashboard.

Anatomy

The library has three building blocks:

Content items, the pieces themselves.
Collections, which group items.
Folders, which sit inside a collection and group items further.

Pricing, forms and visibility can be set on items and on top-level collections.

Content item: Details (step 1)

Click Add Content. The Add New Content window has three steps: Details, Pricing and Form.

Setting	What it does
File / Link / Article	The kind of item. File uploads audio, video, an image or a document. Link stores a web address (External Link URL). Article is text you write in Soul.
Click to upload	Uploads the file: video (MP4, WebM, OGG) up to 10 GB, audio (MP3, WAV, OGG, WebM) up to 1 GB, documents (PDF, Word, Excel, ZIP) up to 5 GB, images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP) up to 20 MB.
Title (required)	Shown on the card and the item page.
Description	Short text under the title. Links you paste become clickable.
Thumbnail (optional)	The card image. Upload one, or click Choose from Gallery to pick a built-in image.
Visibility	Public, Private or Unlisted. See Visibility below.

Click Save to create the item and move on. Pricing and the form can only be set once the item is saved.

Content item: Pricing (step 2)

Setting	What it does
Add Price → Regular Price	What everyone pays. Leave it off, or set $0, for a free item.
Add subscriber price → Subscriber Price	A separate price for your paying portal subscribers. Set $0 to make it free for them.
Add discount	A discount on one price tier: Percent off (%) or Amount off ($), with an optional Expires date. Members see the original price struck through.

Items are a one-time purchase. There's no monthly billing or pay-what-you-want range on content. For shareable discount codes, use promo codes, which can target content.

Content item: Form (step 3)

A Pre-purchase form is a form people must fill in before they can get the item, free or paid. Click Add Form:

Setting	What it does
Use Existing Form	Pick one of your custom forms.
Or create new form	Make a new form here. Set a Form Title, an optional Description, and Contact Information: Required (name and email), Optional, or Anonymous ("Respondents can submit without any contact info"). Then Create Form and Edit Questions.
Allow one-time submission reuse	If ticked, someone who already filled in the form isn't asked again next time.
Remove	Takes the form off the item.

Only custom forms can be used, and an item can have one form at a time. Choosing a different one replaces it. Responses show up in Audience → Forms & Funnels. See People and forms.

Collection

Click Add Collection on the Collections tab. The window has two steps.

Setting	What it does
Name	The collection's title.
Description	Shown on the collection page.
Cover Image	Upload one, or Choose from Gallery.
Visibility	Public ("Anyone can access"), Private ("Only subscribers can access") or Unlisted ("Only those with the link can access").
Pricing	Regular Price, Subscriber Price and Add discount, as for items. One purchase unlocks everything inside. You can Skip for Now and price it later.
Form	A pre-purchase form for the whole collection. Use Attach Form in the collection's More actions menu, or Form on the collection card.

Folder

Inside a collection, click Add → Folder to create a folder: a smaller group, such as Week 1. Folders have a name, description, cover and visibility, but no price or form of their own. They follow the collection they sit in.

Adding items in bulk

Inside a collection, click Add → Bulk Upload. Drag in several files, give each a title, and optionally a Price and Subscriber price. Under Settings choose the visibility for the batch, then click Upload.

Visibility: who can see it

Setting	Behavior
Public	Listed on your portal. Anyone can open it (they may still need to pay or fill a form).
Private	Listed only for your subscribers. Others who open the link see "Subscribers Only". The dashboard card shows Subscribers.
Unlisted	Not listed anywhere on your portal or feeds, but anyone with the link can open it.

A few rules:

Unlisted is available on standalone items and on collections, but not on items inside a collection.
Items inside a Private collection are private too. Bulk uploads into one are set to "Private (required for this collection)".
When you change a collection's visibility, Soul offers a Review Visibility step so you can update the items inside. You can also do it any time with More actions → Manage Visibility.

Draft or published

Separately from visibility, every item and collection is either published or a Draft. A draft is hidden from your portal completely, even from people who have the link. Use Move to Draft and Publish in the card's ⋯ menu. Items you add in the dashboard are published as soon as you save them. Items that Soul AI creates for you start as drafts.

Where it lives in the dashboard

Offerings → Content Library has these tabs:

Tab	What's there
Collections	Your collections. Add Collection, Reorder, search, and a Visibility filter (All, Public, Unlisted, Private, Draft).
Content	Items that aren't in any collection. Add Content, View All Archived, search and a Visibility filter.

The Share button at the top copies the link to whichever half you're looking at.

Collection page (click a collection): the price for Everyone and Subscribers, the number of Items and Folders, and these buttons:

Add: Content, Folder or Bulk Upload.
Edit: the collection's details and pricing.
More actions: Attach Form / Manage Form, Reorder, Manage Visibility, Preview and Share.

Item page (click an item): a preview, the Settings card (Visibility and Pricing, each with Edit), Quick Actions (Copy Link, Download or Open Link), the Pre-purchase Form card, and Delete Content. Articles also have Edit Article.

Card menus (⋯)

Limits and good to know

A collection's price unlocks everything in it. If an item inside a paid collection also has its own price, buyers have to pay for that item separately as well.
Set both prices on paid collections. If a collection has a Regular Price but no Subscriber Price, your subscribers are asked to pay too. Add a Subscriber Price ($0 if they should get it free).
Only top-level collections can have a price or a form. Folders follow their parent.
You can only delete an empty collection. Archive or move every item and folder out first. There's no bulk delete.
Items inside a collection can't be Unlisted. Make the whole collection unlisted, or keep the item standalone.
Uploads need the tab open. They don't continue in the background. For big videos, use Chrome, keep the tab open, and compress or split long recordings.
Audio on phones: Chrome keeps playing with the screen off. Safari needs the screen on.
Audio, video and articles are view-only for members. There's no download button for them. Files, images and links always show a download or Visit Link button. See Keep recordings stream-only.
Publishing doesn't switch on your portal sections. Check that Contents and Collections are turned on in My Portal → Design (Design your portal).
