Publish your program

Programs start in draft status. While in draft, only you and your team can see the program. Participants won’t have access until you publish it.

When to publish

Publish your program when you’ve:

  • Added your curriculum content (sections, activities)
  • Configured your events and scheduling
  • Set up your welcome message
  • Invited your participants (or set up an offer for self-enrollment)

You don’t need everything to be perfect — you can continue editing after publishing. But participants will see whatever is live once you publish.

How to publish

  1. Open your program.
  2. Go to Settings (or use the setup checklist if available).
  3. Toggle the program status from Draft to Published.

Your program is now live. Participants who have been invited will see it in their dashboard and can start accessing content.

Unpublish a program

If you need to take a program offline temporarily:

  1. Open your program settings.
  2. Toggle the status back to Draft.

Participants will no longer see the program in their dashboard. Their progress is preserved — when you republish, everything picks up where it left off.

Start and end dates

You can optionally set:

  • Start date — Participants are notified when the program officially begins. Useful for cohort-based programs
  • End date — Marks when the program period concludes
  • Early access date — Allows participants to enter the program before the official start date

These dates are informational and trigger notifications, but they don’t lock participants out of the program.
