How to preview and edit your active learning content (aka courses and interactive resources)
Because every great lesson deserves a dress rehearsal
You’ve built something powerful—now it’s time to test it out before learners hit “Start.” In this step, you’ll learn how to preview your active learning content in a secure demo environment, check for errors, and learn how to handle updates the right way. A few simple steps now can save learners from confusion later (and save you from having to redo your work).
Your cheat sheet for this step
Duplicate your course and label it clearly for preview
Use our demo environment to test how it appears on a Learner’s device
Don’t forget to check for red warning boxes—those mean “fix me!”
If you need to make changes—big or small—you’ll need to duplicate the original, edit the new version, and submit it as a brand-new item for publishing.
Live materials can’t be edited directly. This ensures a stable experience for learners and preserves the integrity of progress data. It’s not impossible—but it is a process.
