Overview of Publishing

Once content has been created, it will not be visible to students until it is published. For Sections, this is indicated by the Publish icon. For Subsections, this is indicated by the orange line and the Publish icon. And for Units, this is indicated by the Unpublished units will not be released text and the Publish icon.

Note: Once content has been edited, it must be published so students can view it.
