To get started, go to Courses in the top left corner and then + New Course. You will then see three options:
Choose a course type. For a drip course, you can choose between scheduled and relative. Please note by default your course will be set to draft. You can continue to build your course and publish when you are ready.
Self-Paced Course Type
The course begins when a member enrols. Content unlocks on completion of a previous module.
To set up a self-paced course, select Self-paced.
Adding Modules to a Self-Paced Course

Schedule Course Type
The course begins on a scheduled date and content is released at a scheduled time.
To set up a scheduled course, select Scheduled and select the date you would like the course to start on. For example, if the course begins on the 1st of the month, students can join at any time until that date when the content is released.
