Free previews & locked lessons — what buyers see
Mark a lesson as a free preview to use it as a sample, or lock a lesson so only enrolled students reach it. Here's exactly how each toggle behaves on a paid course.

On a paid course, lessons are locked by default — a visitor can see the lesson titles but can't open them until they buy. Two per-lesson toggles let you change that, lesson by lesson, in the Curriculum tab.
Free preview
Turn on 'free preview' for a lesson and it opens for everyone — even visitors who haven't paid. It's your sample, like a free demo class. A preview overrides the paid lock, so use it on a lesson you're happy to give away to win the sale.
Locked lessons
On a paid course, lessons are gated by default — students reach them only after enrolling. You can also explicitly lock a lesson regardless of pricing, which is useful if you want to keep one lesson gated even on an otherwise-free course.
