Overview
Previewing your course lets you see exactly what your members will experience once it’s published. This helps you confirm that lessons, videos, and materials display correctly before going live.
How to Preview a Course as a Member
There are two easy ways to preview your course:
Option 1: From the Courses Page
Log in using the admin or owner email address associated with your community.
Click Courses in the left-hand menu.
Hover over the course you’d like to view.
Click the three dots (⋯) on the top right of the course card.
Select Preview as Member.
This opens your course in member view, allowing you to navigate through lessons just like your audience.
Option 2: From Within a Course Lesson
Open your course and select any lesson.
In the top-right corner, click the eye icon (👁️) to preview.
You’ll immediately see how the lesson appears to members, including videos, downloads, and lesson layout.
Click Edit Lesson to return to edit mode.
