Detailed overview of what happens when you add or remove courses included in your Course Bundle.
Overview of Bundle Enrollments
Bundle enrollments function a bit differently than individual course enrollments. You can think of Bundles as containers that hold one or more courses. When a student purchases a Bundle, they are automatically enrolled in each individual course included in that Bundle.
Adding Courses to a Bundle
Published course: If you add a course that's already Published, students enrolled in the bundle gain access automatically. This can take up to 24 hours, though it usually happens much sooner.
Draft course: If you add a course while it's still in Draft, students will not be enrolled - or receive any enrollment emails - until you publish it. Once published, existing bundle students will be enrolled automatically.
Expired bundle access: Students whose bundle access has expired will not be enrolled in newly added courses, whether the course is draft or published.
Because this is now handled automatically, you no longer need the old workaround of creating a blank draft course, adding it to the bundle, and waiting 24 hours before publishing - you can just add your course in draft, build it out, and publish whenever it's ready.
This update is not retroactive - bundles that already had enrollments created under the previous behavior are unaffected.
Removing Courses from a Bundle
If you remove a course from a Bundle, existing students (ie. students who were enrolled in the Bundle before you removed the course) will not lose access to that course. If you want to remove access, you can manually unenroll or bulk unenroll them from the individual course.
Unpublishing a Bundle
When unpublishing a Bundle, students will still have access to the individual courses included in the Bundle. However, you can always manually unenroll or bulk unenroll your students if needed.
Bundles with Subscription Pricing
If you add a course to a Bundle with subscription pricing, students will gain access automatically (can take up to 24 hours to update). It will have the expiry of the current billing cycle.
If you remove a course from a Bundle with subscription pricing, students will lose access to that specific course at the end of the billing cycle. This is because that individual course's expiry date will not renew when the new subscription payment comes in.
