How do I publish my course (Private, Public, or Paid)?

After finalising your course design, the next step is to make it available to learners. Publishing your course in Coursebox is quick and simple. Once published, your content becomes live and accessible to those you've shared it with.

Whether you're launching a new training program or updating existing content, this step ensures your learners receive the most up-to-date version of your course.

Go to Share Settings and Click on Restricted to publish the course as a Private course.

When you publish a course as Restricted, learners will need permission to access the course.

Learners will see “Request Access” to log in.

Publish a course as Public (Free)

When a course is published as Public then anyone with the portal can access the course without the need of approval.

In the Share this course section, go to Learner Access and in select the drop down to click on Public (Free).

Public courses will have a “Get Started” button on it.

If you make it a paid course then you can publish the course only as Public and “Buy Now” button will appear for the course.
