What you're proving
A program administrator can take a draft section through enrollment setup, publish readiness, and publish — making the offering ready for learners — using the certificate-scoped section workspace only.

Start from a draft section on PLG-LRW-201 under Paralegal Studies Certificate. Use a section you created in WF-03, or Create section a fresh draft first. Seeded Active sections cannot walk the full publish path — you need Draft.
Route reminder: Catalog → Certificates → View courses → View sections → Edit section. Standalone Courses tile routes do not expose working Publish links.
Step 1 — Open the section workspace
- Navigate to the Draft section you will publish (certificate-scoped path)
- Open ⋯ → Edit section
- Confirm the workspace strip includes Enrollment, Publish readiness, and Publish
- Note your section name and that Details & schedule already has a Section name / number
Step 2 — Configure enrollment settings
- Click Enrollment in the section workspace strip
- Set Public enrollment opens and Public enrollment closes dates appropriate for your offering
- Set Staff enrollment window if your program uses staff-assisted enrollment
- Confirm Capacity matches your intended class size
- Under LMS delivery, pick a Delivery path: LSU Moodle shell, External LMS (roster export), or No LMS integration
- Click Save enrollment settings
- Review the Enrollment summary panel
Step 3 — Review publish readiness
- Click Publish readiness in the workspace strip
- Review inherited pricing, refund policy, and visibility settings
- Resolve any blockers listed (missing section number, enrollment gaps, refund schedule issues, etc.)
- Return to earlier steps if the readiness screen points to incomplete work
Step 4 — Publish the section
- Click Publish in the workspace strip
- Read the publish summary — dates, price, enrollment windows, LMS path
- Complete any required acknowledgement
- Click Publish (or equivalent confirm control)
- Confirm the section lifecycle updates (e.g. moves toward Active / published state)
- If Moodle is selected, note sync pending stub copy — full Moodle integration is not live yet
Step 5 — Verify the offering on the section list
- Return to the Sections list for PLG-LRW-201
- Confirm your published section shows correct dates, enrollment model, and lifecycle badge
- Open Preview (internal) once more to spot-check learner-facing copy
Optional appendix — Integration exceptions queue
- If publish reported an integration issue, open Integration exceptions: https://lsuoce-development.fly.dev/dashboard/catalog/exceptions/
- Confirm failed or pending items appear with enough context to follow up
