Open dashboard →Revisions & moderation
When a course is already approved, buyers use the current version. Direct catalog edits would show a mix of old and new content. Edits go into a revision — draft of the next version. The catalog and active students keep the old version until an admin approves the revision.
First-time moderation checks the whole course from draft. Revision is only for an already live course.
Approved course (version N in catalog)
↓ you edit
Revision draft (version N+1)
↓ Submit revision for moderation
Revision pending review
↓ approve / reject
Catalog updates (N+1) or stays at N
Revision statuses: draft → pending → approved / rejected. While pending, you can withdraw and keep editing.
Lesson posters (poster_url, thumbnail_time_seconds) are stored on revision videos while a revision is in draft. After approval they copy to live course_videos. See Video posters and thumbnails.
| Stage | Buyer |
|---|---|
| Revision in draft | Old version |
| Revision pending | Old version |
| Revision approved | New version |
Use when preparing a large update and you want a clear separate draft. Same flow: accumulate → submit → wait for approval.
Rejected drafts are not visible to buyers.
| First publish | Revision | |
|---|---|---|
| Course status | Draft → under review | Already approved |
| What’s reviewed | Entire course | Changes in revision |

Archive hides the course from new sales. Unarchive and submit for moderation again. Existing buyers may keep access per access duration and platform rules — state this in your course description.
