How to Use the Extras Tab to Add Links, Slides, PDFs and Videos

Learn how to set up and manage your Extras tab to share external links and bonus content directly from your Creator Dashboard

Written by Jordan Blake

The Extras tab lets you add valuable non-workout content like external links, PDFs, videos, and visual guides to your channel. These tools are perfect for sharing bonus resources like recipes, how-to documents, challenge instructions, and more. You can create, organize, and publish this content yourself directly inside the Creator dashboard or the creator mobile app.

What Is the Extras Tab?

The Extras tab is an additional section on your channel that houses custom content outside of workouts and programs. You can:

  • Promote off-platform content (e.g. YouTube, your website, or affiliate links)

  • Add downloadable PDFs (e.g. meal plans, guides, charts)

  • Create swipeable image-based Slides (e.g. day-by-day instructions)

  • Link to full length Videos

How to Create a New Extras Tab

If you don’t already have an Extras tab:

  1. Go to the Extras tab on the left side of the dashboard.

  2. Click Create Extras Tab.

  3. Name the tab anything you like (e.g. “Resources”, “Bonus Content”, “Links”, etc.).

Already have Extras? You can rename it anytime from the same menu.

How to Add an External Link

  1. Open your Extras tab.

  2. Click New → Link.

  3. Enter a Title and URL.

  4. (Optional) Add a Banner Image.

    • Check out our Canva template to design your Banner Image

    • If no image is added, the title will be shown instead.

  5. Choose to Save as Draft or Publish when ready.

You can later unpublish a link at any time or delete it completely.

How to Upload a PDF

  1. In the Extras tab, click New → PDF.

  2. Give it a Title.

  3. Upload your PDF file.

  4. Publish when you’re ready to go live.

To update the PDF:

  • Open the item, delete the file, and re-upload the corrected version.

How to Create Slides

  1. In the Extras tab, click New → Slides

  2. Upload your images.

  3. Drag and drop to rearrange them as needed.

  4. Add a title and hit Publish.

This is ideal for multi-step visual guides or swipeable content like challenges or how-to instructions. Need some inspiration? Check out our canva templates HERE.

Managing Your Extras Tab

From the interface, you can:

  • Turn your Extras tab On or Off

    • If Off, the tab will be hidden from consumers.

  • Reorder content within the tab (drag and drop).

  • Delete any item permanently.

  • Rename your Extras tab to match your brand tone or content type.

What’s Behind the Paywall?

  • External Links are clickable and open in the user’s browser—no paywall.

  • PDFs and Slides are gated just like workouts:

    • Users must have a subscription or OTP purchase to access them.

    • Users without access will see the content but hit a paywall before they can view or download it.

    • Want to offer something totally free? Use an external link.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Promote your social profiles, affiliate shops, or YouTube channel.

  • Offer downloadable bonus content like meal plans, challenge guides, or trackers.

  • Create a LinkTree-style hub right inside your Playbook channel.

  • Provide a “dumping ground” of helpful uncategorized resources for your audience.

  • Note: push notifications are not sent to users when Extras are published
