Design statuses (Approved, Pending Approval, In Progress) enable a structured workflow for your instructional teams during course creation.

What this means for you:

  • Optimized course organization: Design statuses help track each stage in the course development process, ensuring clearer, more structured project management.

  • Enhanced collaboration: Teams can quickly identify content ready for review, under revision, or still in development, improving coordination among instructional designers.

  • Precise progress tracking: Course development progress is tracked accurately, allowing focus on priority tasks.

These design statuses are intended to facilitate team collaboration and track project development progress without affecting course publication.

👉 A course can be published even if its status is "In Progress."

👉 Selecting the "Approved" status does not automatically trigger publication.

💡 Understanding Design Statuses

  • In Progress: Use this status when a module is still being developed and needs further adjustments.

👉 You’re an instructional designer adding new modules or activities.

  • Pending Approval: Use this status when a module or activity requires review from other team members or stakeholders.

👉 You’re collaborating with other designers and waiting for their feedback.

  • Approved: Use this status when all modules and activities have been reviewed and approved by all team members, ready for publication.

👉 All instructional designers have signed off on the module, and it’s ready for learners. You can adjust the status at any time (the "Approved" status is not final).

🔎 How to Set a Status

In the Studio, simply select the design status for each module or activity.
