If you have a piece of content released to your public facing Catalog page, perhaps you have a need to remove it so learners will no longer have the option of seeing it.
Use Case Information
Content will only display in your site's catalog (on the public Catalog page and within the Catalog widget, if applicable) once you release the content to the catalog. To remove content from the catalog, you must unrelease, or hide, the content from the catalog. When you unrelease the content, it will be removed from the Catalog widget.
Note
Unreleasing content to remove it from a catalog view only applies to catalog widgets outside of Panoramas.
How to Remove Content From the Catalog
Please follow these steps to unrelease content and have it removed from the catalog:
- From your homepage, select Courses, then All Courses.
- Click the Content Title for the course you want to alter and go to the Release step.
- This is typically the last step in the content build.
- Click the Unrelease button at the top right.
- You will be prompted to confirm "Yes" or "No".
- Click Yes to unrelease.
Tip
Unreleasing a course affects whether the course will display in the catalog. If you would like to ensure no new purchases can occur for this course, we would recommend also disabling the Make Purchasable toggle under eCommerce settings in the content.
What Happens to Learners Already with Access?
When unreleasing a piece of content, new learners or users who do not have access to the content will not see the unreleased content. However, there are learners who, although you unreleased the content, may still have access to it. Please review the scenarios below when learns can have access to your unreleased content:
- Learners who purchased prior to it being unreleased.
- Learners who have redeemed a code.
- Learners who purchased a collection (with the content included).
- Learners who were given access by an Admin.
Tip
You can provision content to Panorama accounts regardless of whether the content has been released. Meaning, you can add content to a Panorama account that is not accessible to the public, and vice versa. Releasing content only affects whether learners on your public site will be able to see the content in your catalog—Panorama users will automatically see any content provisioned to their account, whether public or private. Please refer to our article on Provisioning Access to Panoramas for more information.
