In LearningSuite, we clearly distinguish between courses in draft status and active (published) courses.
This helps you, as an admin, keep track of which courses are already visible to members and which are still being edited.
When Is a Course Active?
A course only becomes active when you publish it.
When you publish it, a course version optimized for members is created.
This version exactly reflects the state you define when you publish it.
Important to Know
Changes you make to a course do not affect the currently published version that your members see.
This means:
You can edit and expand your course at any time.
Members will only see these changes when you publish a new version.
This allows you to make changes without affecting courses that are already in progress for members.
Update a Course and Publish a New Version
When you want your changes to be visible to members, click “Update Course” in the top-right corner of the course.
After you click it, a pop-up opens.
There, you can view the change history and create a new course version.
View Change History
You will see an overview of the changes made.
Version Name & Internal Version Notes
The version name is used for your internal organization.
The internal version notes help you document your changes.
This information is only visible to you as an admin.
Send a Course Update Email to Members
You can optionally send a course update email to your members.
To do this, select the checkbox in the pop-up.
A text field opens where you can add a custom message about your changes.
You can edit the basic template for the course update email under
Settings → Email Settings.
There is a separate Help Center article about this.
If you have any questions, please contact our support team through the Help Center in the bottom-left corner. We generally respond within 5 minutes on business days from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
