Managing Courses

Once you have created a course and added your content, you will want to manage it over time -- publishing it when it is ready, making updates, or archiving it if needed.

Editing a course

Go to Courses in your dashboard sidebar.
Find the course you want to edit in the list.
Click the edit option on the course.
Update any details you need -- title, description, price, cover image, or intro video.
Save your changes.

All changes take effect immediately for new visitors. Students who have already enrolled will see the updated content the next time they access the course.

Publishing and unpublishing

Courses can be published or left as drafts. This gives you control over when your audience can see and purchase them.

To publish a course:

When creating or editing a course, set the Published At date to a specific date and time. The course will become visible and available for purchase at that time.
To publish immediately, set the date to now or any time in the past.

To unpublish a course:

Edit the course and clear the Published At field. The course will return to draft status and no longer be visible to your audience.

Unpublishing a course does not remove access for students who have already enrolled. They can still access all the content they paid for.

Archiving a course

When a course is no longer active and you want to clean up your dashboard:

Open the course from your Courses list.
Select the archive option.

Archiving hides the course from your active list but preserves all data, including enrolled students and their progress.

To bring a course back, find the archived course and select unarchive.

Viewing enrolled students

You can see how many students are enrolled in each course from your course list. This helps you track the performance of your courses and understand which topics resonate with your audience.

Tips for managing your course catalog

Start with one course and do it well. It is better to have one polished course than five incomplete ones.
Update content regularly. If something in your course becomes outdated, swap out the lesson or add a new one. Your students will appreciate it.
Use drafts strategically. Create the course shell and build out content over time. Only publish when everything is ready.
Price thoughtfully. Look at what similar creators charge and consider the depth and quality of your content. You can always adjust the price later.
Archive instead of deleting. If you retire a course, archiving keeps the data safe in case you want to revisit it.
