Why this page matters

The course page is your hub: copy, price, cover, chat, meal plan, and submit for moderation / revision buttons. Below: “from scratch” and “already live” flows.

Author actions block

On your course page you’ll see:

Price and access duration

Price — what the buyer pays (minus platform terms).
Access duration — days of video/material access after purchase. State clearly in the description what happens when it ends.

Price changes on an approved course go into a revision — buyers see the old price until the revision is approved.

Recommended meal plan

Attach your approved meal plan so one purchase includes workouts and nutrition. Create plans in Meal plans.

Schedule

In Manage videos, assign day / week per workout. Buyers see a calendar in the app and site — not a flat file list.

Private revision preview

For approved courses, use the private preview link in author actions before Submit revision for moderation. You see the draft; buyers don’t get the link.

After launch

Monitor chat and analytics.
Small edits → edit → revision accumulates → submit revision.
Large update → Start revision → Revisions.

Common mistakes

Editing an approved course and expecting instant catalog updates — need approved revision.
Submitting without videos.
Disabling chat and not knowing you can still message students — they cannot start.
