How do I duplicate, delete, or hide courses?

Go to Administration Tools in your course. You can duplicate a course to reuse it for a new cohort, delete it permanently, or hide it from public search while keeping it accessible via direct link. This flexibility helps you manage content with ease.

The Administration Tools section provides guidance on managing user access, branding, system settings, and advanced platform features. These tools are designed to give administrators full control over how courses are delivered, tracked, and customised across the organisation.

Duplicate a course

The Duplicate feature lets you create a copy of an entire course, which will appear in your Drafts. This is a valuable time-saving tool when you want to reuse an existing course structure.

You might use it to:

  • Build a shorter or condensed version of a course

  • Tailor the same content for a different audience or language level

  • Experiment with changes without affecting the original course

Duplicating a course helps streamline course creation while maintaining consistency across programs.

Delete a course

The Delete function allows you to permanently remove a course from your drafts or course list. This is useful if the course is no longer needed or was created by mistake.

When you click Delete, a confirmation message will appear to ensure the action is intentional. You can cancel at this stage if needed.

Note: Use this option with care, as deleted courses cannot be recovered

Share settings

If you prefer to keep a course hidden from search results, you can use the Hide in Search option in the share settings. This prevents others from discovering the course until you're ready to share it. When you're ready to make the course visible again, simply click Make Visible to restore its discoverability.

Set a Publicly Listed Course

When a course is marked as Publicly Listed, it becomes visible to anyone browsing your training portal. This means the course will:

  • Appear in search results and catalog listings

  • Be accessible to learners without needing a private link

  • Support broader visibility and enrolments across your audience

This setting is ideal if you want to:

  • Promote courses to the general public

  • Offer open-access learning experiences

  • Increase discoverability for marketing, community, or awareness campaigns

If the checkbox is left unticked, the course remains hidden from public search. In that case, learners will need a direct link or specific invitation to access it.

Note: Public listing does not override enrolment permissions. You can still apply pricing, prerequisites, or access restrictions as needed.
