👁 Step 1: Preview Your Course
What Does It Mean to Preview Your Course (and Why It Matters)
Previewing allows you to see your course exactly as your users will — helping you ensure it’s polished, easy to navigate, and ready for delivery. You’ll be able to validate formatting, layout, embedded content, and flow before launch.
How to Preview Your Course
Open the course product you want to preview.
In the top right corner, toggle the course LIVE (required for preview).
Click the 👁 Preview icon to view your course as a user.
Browse your course layout
Review the course as it will look to authenticated users.
Use this preview to:
Verify page layouts and content order
Test videos, audio, downloads, and links
Make sure your instructions and formatting look good
💡 Tip: Any changes made in the editor are immediately reflected in the preview view.
🧪 Step 2: Test the Purchase & Access Flow
What Is Purchase & Access Testing (and Why It Matters)
Testing your course's purchase and access flow ensures users experience a smooth journey from payment (or access grant) to content delivery. It helps you catch any missing connections, automation errors, or permission issues before users do.
Option A: Manual Access
If users are manually added to your course (e.g. free or private access):
Go to the Users tab.
Add your test user (use an email you can access).
Assign the course product.
Log in as that user and confirm:
Course appears in the library
All content is accessible
Progress tracking is working
Option B: Purchase Flow
If users purchase the course through a sales/checkout flow:
Publish your Sales Page and Checkout Page.
Open the sales page in an incognito window.
Complete a test purchase using:
Stripe test mode or real card if live
Confirm:
You’re redirected to the confirmation page
The course shows in your library
Access is working and content is live
⚠️ Don’t forget to test automations, tags, and email notifications if you’re using them.
