Choose when lessons open

Choose how the course opens

Open the course builder (press Edit on the course in the Classroom), then Course settings. Under How it works, answer How does this course open?

Not sure? Press What’s the difference? beside the question. It explains each answer with an example. Everything saves by itself.

The next question, Can members skip ahead?, works alongside this. With No, one at a time, members finish one lesson to open the next, so a lesson with no wait of its own opens after the one before.

Set each lesson’s wait

With All at once, every lesson is open from the start and there’s nothing to set. With the other two, each lesson has its own timing.

1. 1

   Open the lesson

   On the Lessons tab, press Edit beside the lesson.

2. 2

   Find When does this lesson open?

   It’s near the end of the lesson, under the files.

3. 3

   Pick one

   Right away; Some days after they start the course, then type the number of days; or On a date you pick, good for a live launch. On a start-date course the choices are On the start day, Some days after the start, or On a date you pick.

If a lesson would open before the one above it, the builder says so and offers to give it the same wait. The Lessons tab shows each lesson’s timing, like After 7 days, and the Course map tab shows the whole course on one page.

What members see

A lesson that hasn’t opened yet shows a lock and its opening day in the outline. Inside, it says when it opens, and that they’ll get a notification when it’s ready. When it opens, they get that alert.

Before a start-date course begins, members see the day it starts, like Starts Nov 16, on the course card in the Classroom and on the main button.
