Getting started with curated channels
Get your team up and running by duplicating one of the following channels curated by Pluralsight. You can use one of these channels as a starting point and customize it around your organization's goals—or just run with it as-is.
Important: These suggested channels were created in 2020 as a starting point for you. The channels will not be updated or maintained. See an Introduction to channels for more information about creating your own channels for more curated content.

Duplicating and customizing a channel
To customize a channel, first duplicate it, then edit it to fit your needs.
To duplicate a channel, locate the channel, then click the ••• options menu next to the Join channel or Joined button. Click Duplicate and fill in the details, including the name, objective, description, and privacy settings.
When selecting the privacy settings, choose Company to allow anyone within your organization access to the channel, or Personal - You & people with the link for tighter control over who has access. Click the Duplicate channel button to finish duplicating the channel. See Setting the privacy level for more information.
Sharing a channel with your team
Once you’ve customized your channel—don’t worry, you can always fine-tune it later—it’s time to share it with your team. Channels offer great flexibility in sharing, depending on your individual needs. See Adding channel members, contributors, and owners for details. If you want for your organization as a whole to be able to view your channel, see sharing a channel company-wide.
