• Level Unlock – Members must reach a certain leaderboard level to unlock the course.
• Buy Now – Sell your course with a one-time payment or subscription.
• Time Unlock – The course becomes available after a set number of days.

This update is great for coaches, teachers, and business owners who want to customize learning, reward active members, and earn money from their knowledge.

Let’s explore how these new options can improve your course management and community engagement.

1. All Members – Instant Access for Everyone

• This setting allows all community members to access the course as soon as they join.

Best for:

• Free courses and educational content
• Welcome guides and onboarding materials
• General learning resources

Example: A marketing agency might offer a free “Getting Started” course for all new members.

2. Level Unlock – Reward Active Members

• With Level Unlock, members must earn access by reaching a certain leaderboard level in the community.

Best for:

• Encouraging participation and engagement
• Gamifying the learning experience
• Rewarding active community members

Example: A fitness coach can set a rule where users must engage in five discussions before unlocking an exclusive meal planning course.

• Want to monetize your content? With the Buy Now option, courses can be sold as a one-time purchase or through a subscription model.

Best for:

• Selling online courses
• Offering premium content

Example: A business coach can charge $99 for a sales mastery course or offer a monthly subscription for continuous learning.

4. Time Unlock – Drip-Feed Content Over Time

• This setting allows courses to unlock after a specific time from the member’s join date.
