How to Publish a New Course

When a course or class is first imported to Drupal, its status will be "not published". It will also not be visible or searchable. At that point, a Course Admin needs to follow these directions to publish the course:

To publish a course:

1. Click on the Content link in the black Drupal menu bar
2. Select Status = not published
3. Select Type = SDC Course
4. Click Filter
5. Check the Edit link to the right of the course you want to publish
6. The following course information should be entered before publishing:
   • Summary (optional)
   • Description
   • Keywords
   • Sponsor
   • Topic
   • Format (workshops, webcasts, conferences, etc.)
   • Continuing Education Credit
   • Setting (in-person, online, or blended)
   • Whether the course is a series
7. Scroll the the bottom of the page and next to Publishing Options, check the "Published" box
8. Click Save
