In LearningSuite, we clearly distinguish between courses in draft mode and active (published) courses.
This helps you as an admin keep track of which courses are already visible to members and which ones are still being edited.
When Is a Course Active?
A course only becomes active once you publish it.
When you publish a course, a member-optimized course version is created.
This version reflects exactly the state of the course at the time of publication.
Important to Know
Changes you make to the 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 once you publish a new version.
This allows you to make adjustments calmly without affecting the course experience for your members.
Updating a Course and Publishing a New Version
Once you want your changes to become visible to members, click “Update Course” in the top right corner of the course.
After clicking, a pop-up window will open.
There, you have the option to review change history and create a new course version.
View Change History
You’ll see an overview of the changes that have been made.
Version Name & Internal Version Notes
The version name helps you organize your course internally.
The internal version notes allow you to document the changes you made.
These details are 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, activate the checkbox in the pop-up.
A text field will open where you can add a custom message describing your changes.
The base template for the course update email can be edited under:
Settings → Email Settings
There is also a dedicated article about this in the Help Center.
