Preview your course as a member

Last updated: July, 2026

Previewing your course allows you to experience the content and navigation just as your students would. This helps you assess the user experience and make necessary adjustments before officially launching your whole course or certain new parts of the curriculum.

• Preview options: You can preview individual lessons and quizzes, whether they are in draft or published status, as well as the entire course.

• Access tabs: Scroll to the bottom of the lesson to access various tabs that allow you to:

  • View and manage all lesson comments

  • Post comments

  • Access files

You can preview your entire course as a student to test the lesson delivery and experience the flow before publishing the course in your community.

ℹ️ Note: When previewing the entire course, you will only be able to see published lessons and quizzes. If you want to preview a lesson or quiz in draft status, please preview it as an individual lesson.
