Schedule Content for Publishing

Learn how to schedule when your content will be published and visible to learners

Content Managers can plan ahead and manage content visibility for users with updated publishing settings. If you have content that you want to become visible to your learners at a specific date and time in the future, you can schedule it to be Published.

You can also schedule content to be Unpublished if you only want it available for a limited time. This is a great for time-sensitive material or promotions. 

You can schedule:

• Courses
• Learning Objects (Articles, Web Links, eLearning Packages, Documents)
