About This Section
The Curriculum [smart section] displays all published chapters and lessons for the selected course. It does not include draft content and will automatically update if changes are made to your chapters or lessons in the Course Builder. You can use it to give prospective students an overview of the course, allowing them to better judge its contents and length before deciding on a purchase.

Layout: You can remove top or bottom section padding if there appears to be too much space between this and adjacent sections.
When the collapsed by default option is selected, the section will appear with only the first chapter's lessons visible by default. If the option is turned off, all the chapters will be expanded, showing the list of individual lessons for the the entire course.

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.
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.
