How to create a proposal

Last updated: September 16, 2026

You can create a proposal for any product sold through Edvisor — a program, insurance, accommodation, add-ons, fees, or any combination — and no longer need to start from a program. Start a proposal from Search, the Activities dashboard, a student's profile, an existing proposal, or the Proposals tab. Program-free proposals can be saved, previewed, emailed, and reused as templates.

You can now create a proposal for any product sold through Edvisor — a program, insurance, accommodation, add-ons, fees, or any combination. You no longer need to start from a program. This article shows the different ways to start a proposal and how to build one.

Where you can start a proposal

You can start a proposal from several places:

  • From Search (search a program and start a proposal).

  • From the Activities page, using the buttons on the right side.

  • From a student's profile (Start a new proposal at the top).

  • From inside an existing proposal (create new proposals alongside it), or from the Proposals tab (from a template, from program search, from insurance search, or from a custom program).

How to create a proposal

From program search

  1. Go to Search.

  2. Search for a program.

  3. Start a proposal from the results.

From the Activities dashboard

In the Quick Actions sidebar on the Activities dashboard, open the Create Proposal menu and choose how to start: Blank proposal, From program search, or From insurance search.

From a student's profile

  1. Open the student's profile.

  2. At the top, click + New Proposal.

  3. The student is automatically linked — you don't need to search for them again.

From an existing proposal

Inside a proposal you've already created, you can create new proposals alongside it. From the Proposals tab, click the New Proposal button on the top right.

Build a proposal without a program

When you start a new proposal, click Add option and choose what to include first. The first option can be any product type:

  • Programs

  • Insurance

  • Accommodation

  • Add-ons

  • Fees

You can combine products, or create a proposal with only insurance, accommodation, add-ons, fees, or any mix of these. These proposals can be saved, previewed, emailed to students, and reused as templates — just like any other proposal.

Starting points in the New Proposal menu

  • From program search

  • From insurance search

  • From template

  • From custom program

Good to know

  • Program-free proposals can be saved as templates and reused for future students.

  • When editing a proposal, use the shortcut in the student field to open the student's profile.

  • If you cancel adding an item, the empty option is removed automatically, so you won't have blank cards.
