# Edit your course

> Open any course you've created and change its lessons, info, author, and visual theme — all from one place.

Every course you create on [create.vixiai.co](https://create.vixiai.co) stays fully editable. You can rewrite a single sentence, restructure whole chapters, swap the author, or change the visual theme — and your changes go live for learners as soon as you save.

## Open a course for editing

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to My Courses">
    Open **My Courses** from the sidebar to see all the courses you've created.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the course">
    Click the course card you want to work on. This opens the course's detail page, where every editing action lives.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you can change

On the course detail page you'll find a card for each thing you can do. Here's what each one is for.

| Action                  | What it does                                                                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **View course**         | Opens a preview of your course in a new tab, exactly as a learner will experience it. |
| **Edit lessons**        | Edit the conversations, chapters, lessons, and questions inside your course.          |
| **Edit Info**           | Change your course name, description, and category.                                   |
| **Manage author**       | Assign a different author to the course, or manage the current one.                   |
| **Change course theme** | Switch the visual theme learners see for this course.                                 |
| **Monetization**        | See enrolled learners, share an enrollment code, or make your course public.          |

<Tip>
  Want to check your work before learners see it? Use **View course** at any time. It opens your course in a new tab so you can keep editing in the original one.
</Tip>

## Edit lessons

This is the heart of your course — the actual conversations, questions, and structure that learners move through.

Click **Edit lessons** to open the lesson editor. The first time you open it, a short guided tour points out the main parts.

### How a course is structured

Your course is organized into three levels:

* **Chapters** — the top-level sections of your course.
* **Lessons** — each chapter is made up of several lessons.
* **Steps** — each lesson is made up of multiple steps (the individual screens a learner sees).

You can move between these levels using the tabs in the editor.

### Editing content

Every piece of text is editable. Click into any conversation text box and type to change what your characters say. Use the navigation arrows to move between sentences in a conversation.

### Step types you can add

Inside a lesson, click **Add Step** to add a new step. You can choose from:

* **Conversation** — a back-and-forth dialogue between your characters.
* **Multiple Choice Question** — a question with several answer options and one correct answer.
* **Fill in the Blank** — learners type the missing word or phrase.
* **Matching** — learners pair items together correctly.

For a multiple-choice question, set the correct answer by clicking the check mark on the right option.

### Adding and rearranging

Use the **Add Chapter**, **Add Lesson**, and **Add Step** buttons to add new chapters, lessons, or steps. You can also rename, duplicate, move, or delete any chapter, lesson, or step.

<Step title="Save your work">
  When you're done, click **Save Changes**. Saving can take a moment, so you'll see a "Saving changes" message while it finishes. You'll get a confirmation once your changes are saved.
</Step>

<Note>
  Saving lesson changes can take up to a couple of minutes for a full course, since your edits are processed across every lesson. Wait for the success message before navigating away.
</Note>

## Edit Info

Click **Edit Info** to update the basics of your course:

* **Course name**
* **Course description**
* **Category** (and subcategory)

Make your changes, then click **Save Changes**. The **Save Changes** button only appears once you've actually edited something, so you can safely open this page just to review your details.

## Change the course theme

The theme is the visual world learners explore as they progress through your course.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the theme picker">
    Click **Change course theme** on the course detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a theme">
    Choose the theme you want from the options shown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save theme**. The new theme applies to what learners see for this course.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To learn more about themes and the learner journey, see [Learning map and rewards](/design).

## Manage the author

Click **Manage author** to choose which author is shown on the course.

* Pick an author from your list of authors.
* The currently assigned author is highlighted.
* Confirm your choice to reassign the course.

<Note>
  An author needs at least one avatar before they can be assigned to a course. If you pick an author with no avatars, the **Assign** button stays disabled and a warning appears explaining that you need to add avatars from the Avatars page first.
</Note>

For more on creating and verifying authors, see [Avatars and voice](/avatars).

## Avatars and voice

Want to change the characters or voices in a course? Avatar and voice management lives on its own page. See [Avatars and voice](/avatars) for how to create, pick, and manage the characters that bring your lessons to life.

## Publishing your changes

Editing a course is separate from publishing it. Your saved edits apply immediately, but controlling who can see the course — making it public, sharing a link, or sharing an enrollment code — happens elsewhere.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Publish and share" href="/publishing">
    Make your course public, copy its share link, and manage visibility.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Learners and access" href="/learners">
    See who's enrolled and share an enrollment code from the Monetization card.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do my edits affect learners who are already enrolled?">
    Saved changes update the live course. We can't confirm from the app exactly how in-progress learners experience mid-course edits, so make significant structural changes thoughtfully.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why don't I see a Save Changes button on Edit Info?">
    The **Save Changes** button only appears once you've changed something — typed in a field or opened the category dropdown. If you haven't made a change yet, there's nothing to save.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I preview before saving?">
    Use **View course** to preview the currently saved version of your course as a learner. To see new edits reflected there, save them first.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
