Note

• The URL Slug is the final piece of the URL unique to that course. So, for example, the "slug" of https://early-access.gospelpaths.com/course/first is "first."
• Adding a Category is optional and used for organizing your courses.
• Base your new course off a template, an existing course, or start from scratch.

Course Settings

Status tab

• All changes are automatically saved while you edit the course content
• However, these changes are not published to the course until you click Commit draft in the Course settings menu. If your course is not yet live, we recommend committing your draft after each editing work session.

• You will need to change the course status to Live or Self-paced mode before people can enroll.
• Normal Live course life cycle: Pre-launch > Live > Retired.
• Normal Self-paced course life cycle: Pre-launch > Self-paced > Retired.
• Learn more about the difference between Live and Self-paced courses here.

• Self-enrollment
• This option allows users to freely click the "Enroll in this course" button on the homepage.
• Facilitated enrollment
• The "Enroll in this course" button is disabled.
