Add or update course lessons

How do I add a lesson to my course?

A lesson should teach one useful step, with the content, the action and the "what next" close together.

1. State the lesson goal in the learner's words and place it after the lessons it depends on.
2. Give it a short title and an opening line that says what the student will do, not only what they will watch.
3. Upload or link the final video, audio or files. Delete private notes and unsupported files first.
4. Add captions, a transcript, alt text, clear link labels and downloadable alternatives where people need them.
5. Open the lesson as a test student on a phone and a computer. Check playback, downloads, links and the button to the next lesson.
6. For an update, compare the new version with what you promised at sale. Decide whether students need an announcement or the old resource.
7. Save and publish only when the student view looks right. Write down the version and date.
8. After big changes, recheck that enrolled students still have access. Publishing content and granting access are separate.

Before you begin, prepare the final media, any transcript, exercises, links and a release note. Back up the source files, and note which active students an update could affect.

What a good result looks like

A student with access can open the lesson, use every resource, understand the next action and move on. You also have a copy of the previous version and know who is affected.

Test with a separate buyer identity, since a live sales page does not prove that delivery works.

Common problems

• The upload is rejected. Check the file size for your plan, the format, the filename and your connection. Try a small known-good file.
• The video plays only for you. View it as a student and check lesson publication, access, processing and source permissions.
• An update broke an old link. Restore a stable resource and tell students where it moved.

Lesson files are capped at 500 MB on Free, 1 GiB on Pro and about 2 GiB on Max. Check the editor for notifications, version history and draft or publish controls.

If a buyer may have paid, do not charge again, delete the order or remove access while you investigate. Capture order, buyer, product and time details first.

Next steps

Walk through the whole course as a new learner, then read how to give a student access if enrollment fails.
