The bundle track allows you to manually create tracks of courses that are based on a predefined "bundle". The "bundle" does not have to be a bundle that you sell. The bundle can be setup just for the purpose of using on the bundle track. It allows you to control the order of how the courses will appear on the bundle track.
Here are some ways you can use this super power:
Create an "upsell" bundle that will hold all of your courses for sale. Set it up so that it only shows courses the user is not enrolled in
Create a "what's new" track that will show courses that you have recently released

Visibility & Upsell
This group of settings controls how the bundle is shown if the student is not enrolled in courses that would appear. It also allows you to control where you want the student to be sent to in the case of showing a course that they are not enrolled in.
When not enrolled: Decide what happens when they are not enrolled
Hide (track) - this will hide the track completely when they are not enrolled in the bundle.
Hide (courses not enrolled) - this will show the track even if they are not enrolled in the bundle, but will hide course that they are not enrolled in
Hide (courses enrolled) - this will show the track and hide courses that they are enrolled in. This is good when you want to have a "you might like bundle" to sell more courses.
Always show - (Default) - this will show the track at all times.
IMPORTANT: A setting of Always show
will show only the courses in the bundle. It does not work like the standard Thinkific dashboard where it only shows what the person is enrolled in. Be sure to check the Upsell option to determine what happens when the student clicks on a course they are not enrolled in

Style Options
Normal - this will be a standard size card (Default)
Tall - this is intended for a more "featured' track. The image dimensions are not the same as the standard card size. So you may want to select images that do not contain text so that they are not cut off. The intention is to draw interest, but not be the main attraction.
