# Course Drafts for instructors

Course Drafts allow instructors to prepare courses more thoroughly and save any changes in the draft until they are ready for publication.

When creating a course with Course Builder, at the top right corner check the option "**Make Draft**" in order to save the course in a draft format.

Also, you can change the status of the already published course.

Courses saved as draft **won't be displayed** in the search results on the website, and if the user tries entering the course page, it will notify the user that the page doesn't exist.

Please note if you enable the **Course Pre-Moderation** option, when publishing the course it will have a **Pending** status, meaning the admin has to approve it. Only after approval, the course will be visible to students.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-theme-documentation/lms-courses-features/course-drafts-for-instructors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
