# Trial Courses

Allow your students to try some of the lessons for free with the Trial Courses feature.

To enable Trial courses go to the **STM LMS > Addons** and **enable** it.

Click on the Shareware menu, which will appear on the dashboard after enabling the addon and enter the number of free lessons you want to be in the course, **Save Settings**.

Now, when you create a new or edit an existed course (see this article to learn how to add and edit Courses) in the **Course Settings** section under the Settings tab enable the **Trial Course** feature by dragging the slider to the right.

Saved settings (number of free lessons) will be applied automatically to the course. Students will be able to complete free lessons on the trial course without purchasing. The rest of the content will be accessible only after they buy the course.

Once the free trial lesson is completed, a student will be offered to buy the course to unlock the rest of the content.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-lms/~/changes/D1BUqzsdqYuUfTmFZIuo/lms-pro-addons/trial-courses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
