You sure can! This was a very popular customer request that we’ve added to Thrive Apprentice 4.0. It’s as easy as switching this toggle..

Our Most Requested Feature is Coming to Thrive Apprentice
Unlock or release new lessons entirely based on the conditions you choose...
We took our time to get Drip right, and it paid off in a big way. Now you have complete control over when students can access lessons, and what they see in the meantime.
Your course, delivered to your customers, on your schedule
Flexible. Customizable. Powerful. Intuitive.
Drip is NOW here, & you’re going to absolutely LOVE it.
Unlock lessons based on the criteria & conditions you choose, to keep your students engaged & truly focused on achieving results.
Thrive Apprentice 4.0 Drip supports evergreen, repeating, date-based, & can even cohort course scheduling, so it’s perfect for just about any learning experience you can think of.
So now, when you ask us if you can drip your courses, the answer is a resounding YES.
Dial in your perfect Drip schedule with lesson-specific unlock options
Just as most of your lessons unlock on a weekly or monthly schedule doesn’t mean that they all have to. Thrive Apprentice 4.0’s powerful Drip feature lets you set the bigger picture at the course-level, but also assign entirely different criteria for specific lessons.
This granular control, plus the marvelous ability to combine advanced unlock criteria, gives you unparalleled flexibility at all levels of your Drip schedule
Tease locked lessons, or hide them completely
Sometimes you may wish to show your students which lessons are coming up next in the syllabus.
No problemo, Thrive Apprentice 4.0’s Drip feature can show them the big picture to keep them engaged and motivated.
At other times you may want to completely hide locked lessons from view until your unlock conditions are met.
Again, no problemo. The new Drip feature lets you surprise your students when content is unlocked to increase the perceived value with additional content.
Now you decide how Drip should work for your business, audience and learning objectives.
Apply different drip schedules to the same course with
De-coupled Drip
You’ll absolutely LOVE De-coupled Drip!
Now you can create multiple Drip schedules for the exact online course, and choose which one applies to each Product.
This means you can offer a weekly dripped course & a premium priced ‘access all’ version, without having to duplicate your entire course.
Or you can create a bundle of courses, which they can only start unlocking their dripped content when the student starts the first lesson of each.
Now there’s no need to flood your website with duplicate, hard-to-maintain courses... just add a new, easy-to-manage Drip schedule instead.
De-coupled Drip is perfect for group intakes and cohort learning
Create a sense of community between your students who are learning together as a group, by unlocking the lessons & modules at the same time!
This means cohorts need access to new lessons and modules at the same time.
Lots of traditional solutions start a Drip schedule on a specific date, but what happens if you want a fresh group of students to begin your course in say, 6 months’ time? How do you offer parallel Drip schedules without messing up the first cohort's content access, & without duplicating the course?
It’s just so simple with Thrive Apprentice 4.0...
- Create an alternative course Drip schedule with a new start date
- Create a new Product containing the same course, and link it to your new Drip Schedule
- That’s it! ( Told you it was simple.)
You can sell & deliver your online course in any number of ways to fit your business & audience, all without duplicating everything each time.
Launch faster with powerful and customizable Drip templates
Getting started with this powerful new feature does not require hours of your precious time as a course creator and entrepreneur.
That’s why you can easily choose from 6 pre-configured Drip schedule templates to get you up & running – or dripping! – as fast as humanly possible.
These include:

This is HUGE!
Thrive Apprentice's 4.0 Conditional Display lets you create ‘sneak peaks’ of your premium content, by showing a small selection publicly but keeping the rest of it protected behind a paywall.
Ebook chapters, ultimate guides, premium blog posts, journalism, recipes, extended learning resources and workbooks for your course...
How can your business use this ‘sneak peak’ approach to boost your conversions & revenue?
The possibilities are endless!
Promote your products to new visitors... without annoying paying customers
Your customers will have a great experience when they purchase your online course, membership, or digital products.
So therefore, why bombard them with adverts & calls-to-action across your website for products they already own?
Here's Conditional Display to the rescue!
Thrive Apprentice 4.0’s Conditional Display lets you deliver your perfect message & content to both customers and visitors, without alienating either.
Customers see their products, downloads & other content in a professional setting.
Visitors see compelling calls-to-action instead, encouraging them to take action.
Conditional Display will be available everywhere you find the Thrive Visual Editor
You've got it... Conditional Display isn’t just for Thrive Apprentice. It’s an upgrade to ALL our tools that use the Thrive Visual Editor!
Apply Conditional Display to common blocks of content on your page, & all the contents inside of it will be swapped to match the user.
Everything – buttons, images, anything – you place inside these following elements will benefit from Conditional Display:
- Content box
- Background section
- Blocks
- Menus with a custom source
- Columns
- Text
Each of these elements, you can create entirely independent alternative versions, & show them to different audience members based on a set of rules that you decide!
It’s as easy as duplicating the Default Display, making any changes, & setting Display Conditions to choose which version will show to your visitors.
Displays – or versions of your content – that are placed at the top of the list take priority.
If a visitor doesn’t match with any custom conditions, they will see the Default Display...
Yes!
Because Conditional Display is added in our Thrive visual editor, this means you can use it across many of our tools, including Thrive Architect, Thrive Theme Builder, Thrive Leads, Thrive Quiz Builder, etc.
Yes.
We can see you’re already thinking about all the amazing use cases for conditional display!
Don’t worry, we’ll be talking A LOT more about this feature and examples on how to use it inside all of our products soon.
