Once you've built your course, publishing it makes it visible to your community so members can enroll and start learning.
Steps to Publish a Course
-
Go to the Courses tab on your left sidebar.
-
If you haven’t created a course yet, click Create New Course in the top-right corner and follow the prompts.
-
Select your course and click View.
-
Locate your first lesson — it will show as Draft.
-
Click the dropdown next to the draft label and choose one of the following:
-
Publish – Makes the lesson live immediately
-
Schedule Publish – Sets a specific future date/time for release
-
Drip Publish – Releases the lesson X days after a member starts the course
Once at least one lesson is published, your course is considered live, and the “Unpublished” banner will disappear.
Publish just your first lesson to launch, then drip or schedule future lessons to give yourself time to build while students begin learning.
What Members See
-
Members will only see published lessons
-
Draft or future lessons remain hidden from them
- They can see the titles of scheduled future lessons and assignments, but not the content
-
This lets you build your course while students are taking it, without showing incomplete content
