Share courses

Learn how to share courses for editing and previewing via the web app and mobile app to collaborate with your team and keep course content accurate.

Sharing a course for editing or preview is different from sharing a course link with your team so they can take the course. You can use this option only when you want collaborators to review or edit the course content. To let users start and complete the course, share the course link instead.

How does sharing for editing or preview work?

Sharing a course for editing or preview creates a collaborative way for course creators and stakeholders to review course content before it's assigned to the users. When a course is shared for editing, course editors can update the content directly and add comments to lesson slides to make suggestions, call out potentially inaccurate content, and more.

When shared for preview, course creators can generate a public preview link that opens in a web browser allowing anyone with the link, such as subject-matter experts, to see the full course and confirm whether the content is accurate and relevant for their teams.
