Give a course a new module

A curriculum lead at an e-commerce fulfillment company maintains a Warehouse Associate Onboarding course with Receiving, Picking and Checkout modules. The returns process changed last month, and she needs a Returns module after Checkout. Sixty associates are already assigned, so half-written lessons must not appear in their course view.

A Returns module sits after Checkout and contains explanation, practice and a manager check.

• In Creation Studio, open the course outline and choose the insertion point right after the Checkout module.
• Name the module, state one learning objective, and link the approved returns procedure from Company Knowledge.
• Elvina creates the container with three draft placeholders: explanation, practice and a manager check.
• Write or generate each lesson, then set Checkout as the prerequisite so Returns unlocks in order.
• The Learning Platform keeps the module out of active assignments until the module and its lessons are approved.

A fictional third-party logistics provider, Harbor Line Fulfillment, runs an onboarding course with three modules and fourteen lessons. The curriculum lead adds a Returns and Restocking module after Checkout, sourced from Returns Handling Procedure rev 2026-03. Sixty associates are mid-course during the change.

• The module appears fourth in the outline with three lessons marked draft.
• Associates already in the course saw no change to their navigation.
• The warehouse manager approved the manager-check lesson, and the module went live for the next cohort.

Check prerequisites and navigation. Adding a container must not silently publish its unfinished lessons.

• The outline shows the new module in the intended position.
• All lessons inside the module carry draft status until approved.
• The prerequisite points to Checkout and nothing else.
• Next and back navigation flows through the module without dead ends.
• The learning objective is visible on the module card.

Elvina does not decide where a module belongs or what it should teach; you set the objective and the position. Adding a container does not reassign learners or notify them. An empty module cannot be published. For a live course, confirm with your administrator how structural changes affect existing assignments and completion records.
