Creating & Managing Courses
Create a new course
-
Go to Courses in the sidebar
-
Click New Course (top right)
-
Fill in:
- Title — shown on the course card and catalog
- Description — supports rich text; appears on the course detail page
- Thumbnail — 16:9 image (JPG/PNG, max 5 MB); displays in the course grid
- Category — select from your configured categories (set up under Settings → Categories)
- Level — Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
- Estimated duration — shown on the course card
-
Click Save. The course is created in Draft status.
Add modules
Modules are the chapters of your course. Inside a course:
- Click Add Module
- Enter the module title
- Drag modules to reorder them using the drag handle (⠿) on the left
Add lessons
Inside a module, click Add Lesson. Each lesson has:
- Title
- Type — Video, Text, or Quiz
- Free preview toggle — if enabled, non-enrolled visitors can view this lesson
See Lessons → for detailed content types.
Publish a course
When your content is ready:
- Open the course
- Click Publish
The platform verifies that your course has:
- A title and description
- At least one lesson
- An estimated duration set
If any are missing, the checklist will show what's needed before publishing.
Once published, enrolled students can access the course immediately. Any edits you make to published courses are visible to students right away — there is no separate "staging" step.
Course statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Only visible to admins and instructors; students cannot access it |
| Published | Visible and accessible to enrolled students |
| Archived | Hidden from the catalog; existing enrollments can still access it |
Archive and restore
Archiving hides a course from the catalog without deleting any student progress or enrollments.
- Archive: Open the course → click the menu (⋮) → Archive
- Restore: In the Courses list, filter by Archived → open the course → Restore
Delete a course
Deletion is permanent. Before deleting, the platform shows a warning with the current enrollment count.
Deleting a course removes all lessons, student progress, quiz attempts, and certificates associated with it. This cannot be undone.
Bulk actions
On the Courses list, check multiple courses to access bulk actions:
- Publish All — publishes all selected draft courses
- Archive All — archives all selected courses
- Restore All — restores all selected archived courses
Categories
Categories help students browse the catalog. Configure them under Settings → Categories.
Assign a category when creating or editing a course.
