Publish a course on the training portal

Any new course created on the Microsoft Community Training management portal will not be accessible to the learners unless and until it is published. In other words, any changes made to the course content (i.e. adding a new lesson, quizzes and exam) will come into effect only when changes are published.

In this article, you will learn about steps admin needs to perform before publishing a course on the management portal:
