Control who can see a course: public, unlisted & private

The 'Access' badge decides who can discover and buy a course. Public is on the storefront, unlisted is link-only, private is invite-only — and you can set it without unpublishing.

Last updated Jun 1, 2026

Set this at /dashboard/courses/<id>/settings/access. It's independent of publish state — a published course can still be private.

The three levels

  • Public — listed in your storefront catalog at /p/<tenant>/courses and indexable by search engines. Anyone can find and buy it.
  • Unlisted — reachable by direct link only; not in the catalog, not indexed. Perfect for a soft launch or a course you only promote yourself.
  • Private — invite/enrol-only. No public landing at all; people get in via a payment link, manual enrol, or a batch.
Selling a private course? Payment links and manual enrolment still work — they bypass the catalog entirely. That's the normal way to sell a private cohort.

Quick chooser

  • Evergreen course you want discovered → Public.
  • Promoting it only through your own channels → Unlisted.
  • Closed cohort or corporate batch → Private + payment links.
