Create & edit a course

How to use the course editor: cover image, pricing, structure, the moderation checklist before publishing, and the actions available to authors after launch.

Why this page matters

The course page is your hub: copy, price, cover, chat, meal plan, and submit for moderation / revision buttons. Below: “from scratch” and “already live” flows.

Create a course from scratch

Create course or Create course on the dashboard.
Fill title, short and full description, content language.
Set price, access duration (days after purchase), optional discount.
Upload cover image.
Save and open Manage videos — at least one workout is required for moderation.

Author actions block

On your course page you’ll see:

Action	When available
Edit	Always (into revision if approved)
Submit for moderation	Draft + confirmed verification
Withdraw from moderation	Status under review
Submit revision for moderation	Approved course with revision draft
Start revision	Approved — separate draft for large updates
Archive / unarchive	Per status
Manage videos, Previews, Translations	Per lifecycle stage

Buyers never see this block — only the storefront card and purchased content.

Draft vs approved vs archive

Status	How you edit	Catalog
Draft	Direct in the form	Nothing
Under review	Can withdraw and edit	Old version if was approved, else nothing
Approved	Edits → revision	Current approved version
Rejected	Fix and resubmit	Nothing

Checklist before first moderation

Verification — confirmed
Cover uploaded
At least one workout video (videos)
Description and price set
Goals / equipment for catalog filters (recommended)
Chat on or you message first (chat)
Optional: previews, PDFs, meal plan

Price and access duration

Price — what the buyer pays (minus platform terms).
Access duration — days of video/material access after purchase. State clearly in the description what happens when it ends.

Price changes on an approved course go into a revision — buyers see the old price until the revision is approved.

Recommended meal plan

Attach your approved meal plan so one purchase includes workouts and nutrition. Create plans in Meal plans.

Schedule

In Manage videos, assign day / week per workout. Buyers see a calendar in the app and site — not a flat file list.

Private revision preview

For approved courses, use the private preview link in author actions before Submit revision for moderation. You see the draft; buyers don’t get the link.

After launch

Monitor chat and analytics.
Small edits → edit → revision accumulates → submit revision.
Large update → Start revision → Revisions.

Common mistakes

Editing an approved course and expecting instant catalog updates — need approved revision.
Submitting without videos.
Disabling chat and not knowing you can still message students — they cannot start.
