# Pre-launching your challenge

> Details on pre-launching your challenge.

Once you've [planned your challenge](https://docs.codecrafters.io/contributors/authoring-challenges/planning-your-challenge.md), you're ready to start adding enough information to
create the "overview" page.

We'll use this page to pre-launch your challenge and start attracting early users who'll help test your challenge & share feedback.

[Paul](mailto:paul@codecrafters.io) will create a draft challenge for you and grant you access to it.

At the start, the overview page for the challenge will look something like this:

![](https://mintcdn.com/codecrafters/qGKwe-_AIUAS3RUS/img/draft-challenge-overview.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=qGKwe-_AIUAS3RUS\&q=85\&s=1844b3032e6c5b6f5fbbd2f5f8c03e11)

This page is generated from contents in `course-definition.yml`, which you'll find in your course's repository:

View [Course Definition Reference](https://docs.codecrafters.io/contributors/authoring-challenges/course-definition-reference.md) for a description of all the fields in `course-definition.yml`.

You can edit this file to fill in the relevant information. Once the changes are merged into `main`, you can go to your course's admin page to "apply" the changes.

Your course's admin page is located at `https://app.codecrafters.io/courses/<slug>/admin/updates`.

Once applied, your changes should be reflected on the overview page. You can continuously tweak these details until you're happy with them.

***

Let Paul know once you're happy with the overview page for your course. You can now move on to [building your challenge](https://docs.codecrafters.io/contributors/authoring-challenges/building-your-challenge.md).
