What Does It Mean to Launch Your Course?
Launching your course means making it publicly available to users with access. Once launched:
Your course appears in the Product Library
Users can open and navigate lessons
Checkout or sales links (if configured) become active
All published pages and sections become accessible
Your course is now officially live
Publishing is the final step before students begin learning.
Why Launching Matters
Launching ensures:
Users can find your course in your CustomerHub site
All lessons, modules, and content are visible
Purchase and access flows work as intended
You can begin marketing or enrolling students
The course is fully ready for real users
Without launching, users will not see the course—even if everything is built.
Before You Launch
Make sure the following are complete:
All content pages are marked Live (not Draft)
Your course product is set to Live
Your purchase method is configured correctly (if selling)
Your delivery settings are correct (Immediate, User-Advanced, Time-Delayed)
You have tested the course as a new user
This ensures a smooth launch experience.
How to Publish & Launch Your Course
Open your course product
Go to Products and select your course.
Switch the product from Draft to Live
Use the toggle at the top of the product editor.
Verify all lesson pages are also Live
Pages marked as Draft will remain hidden, even if the course is Live.
Be sure to check content on each page is Live as well
Check your purchase method
Ensure the course is connected to the correct checkout, sales page, or external URL.
Review Product Access (visibility) settings
Confirm Product Access is set appropriately (typically “Only users with access”).
Preview your course one final time
Confirm the layout, navigation, and media load correctly.
Optional: Test again as a new user
For paid courses, confirm the checkout still works as expected.
Announce your course
Once live, users can begin enrolling and learning immediately.
Best Practices
Double-check lesson visibility; one Draft page can confuse users
Use clear naming and cover images to make your course stand out
Keep Product Access restricted for paid courses
Preview on mobile before you launch
If using User-Advanced or Time-Delayed delivery, test unlocking behavior carefully
Consider adding a welcome page or first-steps lesson at the top of the course
FAQ
Do pages need to be set to Live individually?
Yes. Each page must be Live to be visible to users, even if the course is Live.
If I update the course after launching, will users see changes automatically?
Yes. Changes apply instantly once saved.
Can I unpublish a course later?
Yes. Switching back to Draft hides the course from all users.
Does launching automatically notify users?
No. Users only receive notifications when access is granted.
