How do I publish my course (Private, Public, or Paid)?

Created by Carolina Martin, Modified on Tue, 16 Dec, 2025 at 11:16 PM by Carolina Martin

After finalising your course design, the next step is to make it available to learners. Publishing your course in Coursebox is quick and simple. Once published, your content becomes live and accessible to those you've shared it with as:

  • Restricted: learners must request access.

  • Public (Free): anyone can join.

  • Sell this course: enable Stripe or Shopify integration to charge for access.
    These options give you control over who sees and joins your course.


Whether you're launching a new training program or updating existing content, this step ensures your learners receive the most up-to-date version of your course.



Publish a course as Restricted

Click on Private to publish the course as a Restricted  course.

 


When you publish a course as Private, learners will need permission to access the course. 



Learners will see a “Request Access” button on the course. They need to click on the button to request access. Admin then can approve or deny access.



Publish a course as Public (Free)

When a course is published as Public then anyone with the portal can access the course without the need of approval. 

In the Share this course section, go to Learner Access and in select the drop down to click on Public (Free).



Public courses will have a “Get Started” button on it. 


If you make it a paid course then you can publish the course only as Public and “Buy Now” button will appear for the course.




Sell a course

In addition to making a course Restricted or Public, you can also Sell this course.  

In the Share this course section, go to Learner Access and in select the drop down to click on Sell this course.



Follow the instructions on the screen.

Coursebox also gives you multiple export options so you can easily share or host your course outside the platform. Whether you're saving a course for offline use, uploading it to a Learning Management System (LMS), or sharing it as a PDF, Coursebox offers flexible formats to suit your needs.
