Overview
The Course Library your learners browse is managed from Jam Studio, not from the library page itself - you need the Editor or Admin role to see it. The Published tab is your management view: every track listed there is live for learners; everything else is invisible to them. Publishing and unpublishing are instant, one-click moves between the Drafts and Published tabs.Taking a track offline
Click Unpublish track on any published track to pull it from the Course Library immediately - it returns to Drafts, visible only to editors. That’s also the editing path: published tracks can’t be edited in place, so the cycle is unpublish → edit → publish.Duplicating a track
Duplicate creates a copy in Drafts - useful for a language variant, an audience-specific edit, or experimenting without touching the live version while it stays available to learners.What happens next
- Unpublished tracks disappear from the learner-facing Course Library right away - learners see no trace of them.
- Learners’ completed history and certificates for the track are unaffected by unpublishing; only discovery of new practice goes away.
- Republishing the track makes it discoverable again - same one-click Publish from Drafts.
- Before unpublishing, check whether an active sprint or 1:1 assignment is running on the track - pulling its content out from under a deadline frustrates learners.
Troubleshooting
A track shows in my Published tab but a learner can't find it
A track shows in my Published tab but a learner can't find it
Have them clear the Course Library’s search, language, and topic filters - a
stale filter is the usual cause. The Published tab is the source of truth
for what’s live.
