The authoring stack lets instructors build paid or free courses, pass quality checks, manage approval, protect media, build lesson templates, configure previews, and generate AI drafts without exposing locked content.

Course index with filters, status, pricing, and readiness signals.

Lesson studio — Lesson Studio for content, resources, locking, drip, completion, and AI aids.

Workflow

Create or edit a course at /lms/courses.
Open the builder, add sections, lessons, resources, pricing, SEO, and media.
Run quality checks for duplicate slug, missing SEO, weak description, preview lesson, resources, instructor profile, and unpublished lessons.
Configure lesson locking, public preview excerpts, drip, prerequisites, completion rules, transcripts, and reusable resources.
Submit for reviewer checklist, timeline, approval, return-to-draft, or publish.
