Common Questions

Can I collect episodes from different pins?
Yes! All pins in an episodic project share the same episode collection. You can visit any pin to collect the next episode in sequence.

Do I need to visit the same pin each time?
No, you can visit any pin in the project. The episode collection is shared across all pins, so your progress is maintained regardless of which pin you visit.

Can I add new episodes after the project is live?
Yes! One of the key benefits of episodic projects is the ability to add new episodes over time. This keeps content fresh and encourages return visits.

What happens if I miss an episode?
You can collect episodes in sequence, so if you miss one, you’ll need to collect it before moving to the next. Your progress is saved, so you can return to any pin to continue.

How many pins can I have in an episodic project?
You can create multiple pins across your project area. All pins will share the same episode collection, giving users flexibility in where they access content.
