Course
Overview of courses in Edvello — lifecycle, settings, admin areas, and links to detailed guides.
A course in Edvello is a container for lessons, exercises, people, and settings. Students enroll into a course to access its content in the LMS. This page summarizes how courses work for admins. For step-by-step setup, start with Create Your First Course.
Course lifecycle

| Draft / unpublished | Not visible in Explore or on the public landing page; open self-enrollment is blocked, but invite links still work |
| Published | Live on your academy; visible in Explore and on the public landing page |
