How to publish your course

Introduction

In this article, we’re going to show you how to publish your course.

Why do I need to publish my course?

• When you create a course, learners will not be able to access it until it is published.
• When you make changes to a course, learners will not see those changes until you publish them.
• If you want to export a SCORM version of your course, it will export the last published version of the course.  So your course needs to:
  • Be published
  • And any subsequent revisions to the course also need to be published if you want them included in your SCORM file.

Top tips before you begin

• When you edit a Nimble Author course, your changes are created as a revision. The changes in your revision aren’t made live until you publish them. 
• This means that you can:
  • Create a course
  • Enrol your learners onto it
  • Make changes to the course without them becoming visible to learners until you’re ready for them to go live.
• Before you publish your course, you should ensure that:
  • You’ve proofed your course.
  • You’ve checked how your course looks on desktop.
  • You’ve checked how your course looks on tablet.
  • You’ve checked how your course looks on mobile.
