When a course admin is ready to publish a course, several settings are available to help them brand and finalize it. The publishing status options include:
- Published: the course is live and visible to learners
- Draft: the course is still being worked on and not yet visible
- Archived: the course is no longer active but saved for future reference
Publishing a Course to Group Members
A published course will be visible to all members of a group if you enable the option "Assign to entire group." If you'd prefer the course to only be accessible by invited learners, ensure the "Assign to entire group" option is not selected.
Managing Draft Courses
Keep a course in draft mode until it's ready to be shared with learners. If you’re using test courses before a live release, make sure to revert those courses back to draft mode when finalizing group and course setups.
Additional Publishing Options
In the Publish tab, course admin can:
- Change the course to another group
- Set the maximum number of participants
- Define open and close dates for the course
- Set pricing details
- Provide marketing information, which will be displayed on the Course Marketing Page
Be sure to review and complete all relevant information before finalizing the publishing process.
