Publish & Manage Course Status
Keep courses in Draft while you edit, then Publish when they're ready for your team.
Steps
- 1
Open a course from /courses. The top-right shows a status dropdown with a colored dot: Draft (grey) or Published (green).
- 2
While a course is Draft, only managers can see it. Click the primary Save & Publish button to make it live for assigned learners.
- 3
After the course is published, any edits mark it as having pending changes. An amber banner appears: "You have unpublished changes. Learners still see the previously published version."
- 4
Click Publish Changes to push your latest edits to the team, or pull the course back entirely by opening the status dropdown and choosing Draft. This reverts immediately, no save needed.
- 5
The same status control lives inside Edit Course, so you can flip to Draft mid-edit without leaving the editor.
