Community Courses
Members browse your Fluent Community courses, enrol in a public one, and work through its lessons in the app: video, content, downloads, Mark as complete, and Previous / Next. Progress is the same on your website.

What your members see
Section titled “What your members see”Published public and private courses, and secret ones they are enrolled in. Enrol for free enrols them in a public course at once. A private course shows This course takes enrolments on the website, with a button to open it there.
Inside a course, each lesson shows whether it is done, locked or has a video. A locked lesson says why — not enrolled yet, a scheduled section that opens on a date, or Fluent Community Pro’s “complete the previous lesson first”. Quiz lessons open on your website. Finishing the last lesson completes the course, as on the website.
Creating and editing courses stays in Fluent Community’s own admin screens.
