+
+The Academy Content Template Creator is a step-by-step wizard that helps you create structured templates for your Academy content. This generator streamlines the process of
+creating learning paths, challenges, and certifications by collecting all necessary metadata and generating a ready-to-use template.
+
+
+## Getting Started
+![Academy Content Template Creator](images/template-creator.png)
+1. Access the Creator: Click on the "Create New Content" card in your Academy dashboard
+2. Create Your Content: The wizard will guide you through **5 essential steps** to create your content template
+
+Since it's straightforward, let's walk through a practical example to demonstrate the process.
+
+## Example: Creating "Meshery Contributors Certification"
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the **Academy Content Template Creator** to build a **certification** program for **Meshery contributors**. Each step shows what information to enter, followed by specific example values.
+
+### Step 1: Basic Information
+![Step 1: Basic Information](images/template-creator-step1.png)
+- Type: Choose "Certification" from Learning Path, Challenge, or Certification
+- Title: "Meshery Contributors Certification"
+- Description: "A comprehensive certification program for developers looking to become active contributors to Meshery"
+
+### Step 2: Content Details
+![Step 2: Content Details](images/template-creator-step2.png)
+<!-- - Level: Intermediate (assumes basic cloud-native knowledge) -->
+- Categories: "open-source, cloud-native"
+- Add Tags: "meshery", "kubernetes", "golang", "contribution", "open-source"
+- Banner Image: "images/meshery-contributors-banner.svg"
+
+### Step 3: Content Access
+![Step 3: Content Access](images/template-creator-step3.png)
+- Workspace: "Meshery Academy"
+- Team: "Contributors Program"
+- Access Status: Enabled
+- Content Access End Date: Leave blank for permanent access (Meshery always welcomes contributors)
+
+**Understanding Access Status: Enabled vs Disabled**
+
+The Access Status setting in Step 3 controls the visibility and accessibility of your Academy content to users.
+
+**Enabled Status Behavior:**
+- **Visible**: Content appears in Academy catalogs and search results
+- **Accessible**: Users with proper permissions can view and interact with the content
+- **Active**: All features work normally (enrollment, progress tracking, badge awarding)
+- **Discoverable**: Content shows up in filtered searches and category browsing
+
+**Disabled Status Behavior:**
+- **Hidden**: Content does not appear in public Academy catalogs
+- **Inaccessible**: Users cannot access the content even with direct links
+- **Inactive**: No progress tracking or badge awarding occurs
+- **Non-discoverable**: Content is excluded from search results and browsing
+
+**For the Meshery Contributors Certification example:**
+
+*If Enabled:*
+- Contributors can immediately find and enroll in the certification
+- Progress tracking begins upon enrollment
+- Badge is awarded upon successful completion
+- Content appears in the Contributors Program workspace
+
+*If Disabled:*
+- Certification is hidden from the Contributors Program
+- No new enrollments possible
+- Existing progress is paused
+- Content remains invisible until re-enabled
+
+### Step 4: Recognition
+![Step 4: Recognition](images/template-creator-step4.png)
+
+The Recognition step defines the badge or certificate awarded upon completion. You have two options:
+- **Use Existing Recognition**: Choose from the Layer5 collection
+- **Create New Recognition**: Design a custom badge with an image URL
+
+**For our example:**
+- Create a "Meshery Contributor" badge with the Meshery logo
+
+
+### Step 5: Generate Template
+![Step 5: Generate Template](images/template-creator-step5.png)
+
+After clicking "Continue" in Step 4, a success notification appears in the bottom-right corner confirming your template has been created successfully.
+
+{{< alert type="info" title="Navigation Between Steps" >}}
+You can navigate back to any previous step to make modifications. When you return to earlier steps and make changes, your entries in the subsequent steps will remain intact.
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+
+**Generated Template Output for Meshery Contributors Certification:**
+
+This template provides the YAML front matter metadata for static site generators (like Hugo/Jekyll). After copying it, we can directly create new content files in our Academy repository.
+
+```yaml
+---
+type: "certification"
+title: "Meshery Contributors Certification"
+description: "A comprehensive certification program for developers looking to become active contributors to Meshery"
+weight: 1
+banner: "images/meshery-contributors-banner.svg"
+id: "unique-content-id"
+level: "beginner"
+---
+
+Provide a brief summary of what learners will gain.
+<!-- Add your Academy content here -->
+```
+
+{{< alert type="info" title="Important Reference IDs" >}}
+Make note of two key identifiers for your content files:
+- **Content ID**: Unique identifier for this specific content
+- **Organization ID**: Your organization's identifier (remains constant)
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+{{< alert type="info" title="Content ID Updates" >}}
+If you click "Back" and return to Step 5, a new Content ID will be generated. Simply use the new ID and discard the previous one.
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+### Next Steps
+
+After generating our template:
+
+1. **Copy the Template**: Use the provided copy button to get your front matter
+2. **Create Your Content File**: Paste the template into a new .md file in your academy repository
+3. **Add Your Content**: Replace the placeholder comment with your actual learning material
+4. **Test and Review**: Preview your content before publishing
+5. **Engage the Community**: Share your content with relevant teams and gather feedback
