Submit for review, publish and update a course

What happens when you press Submit for review or Publish, how to read feedback and what editing a live course does.

Updated Nov 12, 2026

Before you submit

The builder checks your course. You must have:

  • a title (3 characters or more) and a summary (20 or more),
  • at least one lesson,
  • a price above zero if the course is paid,
  • content in every text lesson, and valid quizzes.

Save your lessons first. If something is missing the builder tells you what, for example "Lesson "Intro" is empty."

Submit

In the builder header:

  • If you are a regular approved creator, choose Submit for review. The status becomes In review and the message reads "Submitted for review. We'll let you know the outcome."
  • If you are a pre-approved publisher, the button says Publish and the course goes live at once ("Your course is live.").

Feedback

If the reviewers want changes, the course shows Changes requested with a Reviewer note at the top of the builder and on the Teach list. Fix the points and choose Submit for review again.

After it is live

Choose View live to see the public page. Back to draft pulls a course back for edits.

Editing a live course as a regular creator sends it back to review, and it is taken off the catalog until approved again. Pre-approved publishers keep their course live while they edit.

Good to know

  • Free previews let readers see your first lessons before enrolling. Mark one or two good ones.
  • Certificates are issued automatically when learners finish, if you left the certificate option on.
  • Use Back to draft to work privately.
