      More about digital products and courses

      It's important to understand that while all courses are digital products, not all digital products are courses. For example, you can deliver graphic templates, software, downloadable ebooks, info sheets, and helpful resources as digital products without them being courses.

      Voma allows you to create your lessons in whatever way works best for you. You can include multiple videos or PDF documents, links, and rich text in a single lesson. The text, links, images, and videos can also be arranged in any sequence you prefer.

       

      📑  Note: Whether you're creating a digital product or a course, you'll create module/s and add content to lesson/s to provide structure to your product.

      How to publish and preview your changes

      Whenever you want to preview your changes, set the status of the lesson you want to preview to Live and click Preview. Change the status back to Draft until your product is ready to go live.

      You can simply change the status of your lesson to Live when you feel you're ready to publish it.
