You cannot revert back to the original video after replacing it.

This does not apply to YouTube videos, only to those you uploaded directly to your FASO Control Panel.
(YouTube doesn't allow video replacements.)

Sample Receipt with Password

Then your buyers receive the password in their receipt, such as in this pretend example:

• Select the Primary Category from the drop-down

• Paste your regular Description (copied from your special video document) into the text box. Perhaps welcome them, give the name of the video, describe what they'll learn etc. 

• Check Paid Video (assuming it's not free) - now a field opens for Price*
• Enter the Price

*This will also create an extra text box for Paid Description - for info that only applies after a purchase is completed.

Why 2 Description boxes?

The regular Description (only says Description above the text box) is for marketing your video. Any sales talk goes in this upper text box. If it's a free video, then you add the general info here as this is the only Description they'll see in that case.

The Paid Description is only for those who have paid. You can thank them, give info that only they are privy to, etc. 

For example, you could add a PDF link to the Paid Description box so that once your buyers have paid they would have access to a pdf file that goes along with the video. The download link for the PDF would be included in the receipt.

• Copy your text for the Paid Description and paste it into this box. Your buyers will only see this once they've paid and access your full-length video.

Pasting from Word

• Now highlight/select text you want to make Bold etc, & use the icons in the upper row
• Click Save (green button, bottom left)

• Click Exit (top left)
