Publish and unpublish your catalog entry
The most basic control you should learn is how the Published switch works.
Toggle the Published switch to publish and unpublish your catalog entry in the Settings screen in the Editor. Published entries are visible for enrollment in your Catalog, and unpublished entries aren't.
There are also Published switches attached to specific Instructions and Interactions, so you can publish an entire entry, but keep specific components hidden.
Disable self-enrollment to preview a catalog entry
At times, you may want a catalog entry to appear in your Catalog before it is ready for learners. If you want to do that, simply uncheck the Enable self-enrollment. The details you provided on the Catalog remain visible, but learners can't enroll.
You can always change this when you are ready for enrollment to begin, and in the meantime, you may want to include an enrollment begins message or alternative instructions for how learners can be enrolled.
