Courses — overview

What a course is, lifecycle, and links to other products

Why a course on FitSpace

A course is your main scalable product: build the program once (videos, schedule, copy), buyers get access for a set period. Use it when you don’t need to coach everyone 1:1 — unlike coaching.

What a course includes

Piece	Purpose
Workout videos	Core content by day/week
Preview clips	Teasers on the catalog card
PDFs and files	Plans, checklists, diagrams
Schedule	Which clip on which day
Meal plan (optional)	Bundled meal plan
Chat	Student questions — Chat

Where to manage

List: Dashboard → Courses
Create: Create course
Editor and author actions — on the course page
Videos: Manage videos → Videos & library
Previews: Preview videos → Previews & materials

Lifecycle

Draft → Under review → Approved → (edits via Revision) → Archive
           ↓ rejected
        Draft (fixes)

Status	You	Buyer
Draft	Full edits	Not in catalog
Under review	Wait; can withdraw	Not in catalog
Approved	Live; changes via revision	Buys and trains
Rejected	Moderator comment	Not in catalog
Archived	Off sale	Usually cannot buy new

First launch = course moderation. After approval, meaningful changes (copy, price, videos) = revision while the catalog keeps the current approved version.
