Drip Content settings

Release lessons on schedules or manual unlocks.

Open Drip Content

1

Open Course Builder

From Courses, open a course and select Settings.

2

Select Drip Content

Choose the Drip Content tab.

Enable Drip Content

Turn on Enable Drip Content to release lessons over time instead of all at once.

Release Schedule options

Interval - Automatic release schedule

  • Apply Interval To: choose Modules or Lessons.
  • Release Interval: set the number and unit (Days, Weeks, Months).
  • The first module/lesson unlocks immediately; the rest unlock after each interval.

Sequential - After previous lesson completes

Lessons unlock only after students complete the previous lesson.

Custom - Set individual schedules

Use the drip icon (💧) next to modules or lessons in the Course Builder to set custom schedules.

Manual Release - Admin unlocks each lesson

Lessons are visible but locked until you unlock them using the drip icon (💧).

Review drip indicators

When drip content is enabled, the Course Builder shows drip or lock indicators beside affected modules and lessons.

  • A drip indicator means the lesson follows a timed, date-based, or sequential release rule.
  • A lock indicator means the lesson stays unavailable until you manually change its drip setting.
  • New draft lessons can inherit the course drip schedule when they are published and receive their saved lesson IDs.

Regenerate schedules

Select Regenerate All Drip Schedules to rebuild schedules from current settings.

Regeneration preserves custom lesson-level drip settings when they no longer match the course-level schedule pattern.
