What you're checking

You can take a draft section through enrollment dates, a readiness review, and publish — so the offering is ready for learners — using the section workspace under the certificate program.

Use Open training site, then sign in as Program Manager.

Start with a Draft section under Legal Research & Writing in the Paralegal program. Use one you created in the “schedule a new section” walkthrough, or create a fresh draft first. Already-Active sample sections will not walk through the full publish story.

Reach the section through Certificates → view courses → view sections → Edit section.

Step 1 — Open the section workspace

  1. Open your Draft section (certificate path)
  2. ⋯ → Edit section
  3. Confirm the strip includes Enrollment, Publish readiness, and Publish
  4. Note the section name — Details & schedule should already have a section name filled in

  4. Confirm publish

You're done when

Step 5 — Double-check the section list

  1. Return to Sections for Legal Research & Writing
  2. Confirm dates, enrollment model, and status badge look right
