How do I create a Curation?

This article explains how to create a new Curation in Big Think+.


Creating a Curation allows you to build a custom learning experience by grouping relevant Big Think+ content into a single, shareable list. Whether you're designing a leadership series or bookmarking content for future viewing, Curations give you the flexibility to shape learning on your terms.

Everyone has a "Watch Later" Curation built in for their own use. This is a private Curation.

Option 1: Create a Curation and then add content

Step 1: Start a new Curation

  1. Navigate to the Curations page from the main navigation bar.
  2. Click the Create new button on the top right.
  3. Give your Curation a title and description that clearly explains its purpose.

Step 2: Add content

Once you've created your Curation, you can start adding content:

  1. Click Add within your new Curation or type directly into the Search bar at the top of the page to search for content

2. Once you have located content to add, click on the + icon to add it to a Curation. 

3. In the pop-up window, you can select the correct Curation from the list under Your Curations.

Option 2: Create a Curation using 'Add to Curations' 

While browsing Big Think+, you may discover content that you want to save or share. You can create a new Curation on the spot and then adjust its properties afterward. 

To do so, click the + icon on any piece of content on Big Think+.


When the Add to Curations pop-up appears, enter the name of a New Curation in the first field and click Enter.

Once added, you can click the View -> button to view and edit the title, description, and organization of the newly created Curation.

Option 3: Create a Curation by duplicating and editing a Curation

Repurposing a strong Curation can save time and amplify impact. You can duplicate an existing Curation so you can edit and customize it for different audiences, roles, teams, regions, or skill levels.

To make a copy of a Curation, click on the more options dropdown at the upper right, and select Duplicate.

A copy of the Curation will be created. Note that the Curation title and any Section titles will begin with “Copy Of”. To edit, click on the fields and type or paste in your changes. You can now add, remove, or reorder any of the content or Sections in your new Curation.

What’s next?

You can add as much content as you like and mix different formats (lessons, classes, courses, etc.) within one Curation.

Once you've added content, your Curation is saved automatically. You can continue building it now or come back later to organize it into sections, rearrange content, or prepare it for sharing.
