Publishing a course is a key step to making your content available to learners and maximizing its impact. When you publish a course, you allow learners to enroll, access materials, and start learning right away, which helps drive engagement and participation. Publishing also ensures that your course appears in the platform’s catalog, making it easy for users to discover and sign up.

By making your course live, you can collect feedback, track progress, and measure learning outcomes, all of which are essential for continuous improvement. Additionally, publishing helps your organization maintain a consistent and professional learning environment, as only reviewed and approved courses become accessible. Ultimately, publishing a course transforms your hard work into real learning opportunities.
