Depending on the Site Builder theme that you have chosen, there were be varying customization capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some lessons missing from my Curriculum?
The Curriculum [smart section] will only display published lessons and chapters. If any lessons are missing, it is likely they are currently in a draft state. In addition, if your course has any chapters that do not contain any published lessons, these chapters will not show in the curriculum.
Learn how to update that here: Creating Draft Content for Your Course
Can my students use the Course Curriculum to open up individual lessons?
No. The Curriculum section is purely informational, and does not include any navigation or links into the actual course.
If you would like to place links to individual lessons on your site, you could consider linking to individual lessons in a button or within a Text & Media Section.
