# Set a Course to Private

## 📌 Overview

Setting a course to private hides it from other admins in your organization — only you (the course creator) can see and manage it. This is useful when you're still building or reviewing a course and don't want it visible to the rest of your team yet.

## ✅ Step-by-Step Instructions

### Step 1: Go to the Courses Page

From the left sidebar, click **Courses** to open your course library. You'll see a list of all courses in your organization, including any that are already private.

💡 Tip: Private courses display an **"Only you can see"** label next to the course name, so you can quickly tell which courses are hidden.

### Step 2: Open the Course Options Menu

Find the course you want to make private, then click the **three-dot menu** (⋮) on the right side of that course row. A dropdown menu will appear with several options including **Make it Private**.

💡 Tip: The **Make it Private** option only appears for courses you created and that have no learners currently assigned. If you don't see it, check whether the course has active assignments — you'll need to [unassign learners](/help/assign-a-course) first.

### Step 3: Select "Make it Private"

Click **Make it Private** from the dropdown. The course is set to private immediately — no confirmation dialog is needed.

### Step 4: Verify the Course is Private

After making a course private, you'll notice two changes in the course list:

- An **"Only you can see"** label appears next to the course name.
- The **Assign** button is replaced with a **Make it Public** button.

💡 Tip: To make the course visible again, click the **Make it Public** button directly from the course list — no need to open the menu.

## 💡 Tips

- A private course is only visible to the person who created it. Other admins in your organization won't see it in their course list.

- You can only make a course private if it has **no assigned learners**. Remove all assignments first if you need to set an active course to private.

- Making a course public again instantly restores it in the course list for all admins and allows you to assign it to learners.
