Managing and customizing a product's access on LearnWorlds is simple and flexible. You can control how students access your product, update settings, and personalize post-purchase navigation for a seamless learning experience.
In this article, we will learn how to:
- Select or change the access type.
- Find the public URL and ID.
- Change the slug.
- Set expiration dates.
- Personalize the user’s navigation after purchasing a product.
To edit your access settings, whether you're working on a course or a learning program, you need to:
1. Go to your LearnWorlds dashboard and select the course/learning program you want to customize.
2. Click on the Access tab within the settings to manage key configurations.
Choose/Change the Product's Access
For Courses:
You can choose or update the access type of your course (e.g., Free, Paid, Private, Draft, or Coming Soon).
- If you change a course type from Free to Paid, Private, or Coming Soon, users who were previously enrolled in the course will be unenrolled. Users must purchase the course to regain access to the Paid and Private access types. Access can also be reinstated if you revert the course's price back to free.
- If a course’s access changes from Paid or Enrollment Closed to Free or Private, already enrolled users will retain access.
For Learning Programs:
Choose the Program access, which can be set as Draft or Paid. Use Draft mode (not available to purchase) when developing your program, and set it as Public when you want to make it available in your school.
Find the Public URL/Product ID
You can find and copy the Public URL (not the authoring URL), the Product's ID, and the Mobile ID.
Change the Slug
When setting up a new course or learning program, you choose a title and a public URL (slug). If needed, you can change the slug later to make it more relevant or easier to share.
Further details on how to change the slug are available in this article.
Expiration Date
You can configure the product to expire after a certain period, such as a specific number of days, weeks, months, or years. You can also set it to expire on a specific date, regardless of when the learner enrolls.
This is helpful for courses with limited-time access, creating a sense of urgency for learners. 
After Purchase Navigation
While your goal is to sell your products easily, you should not forget that the user's after-purchase steps also need to be accurately predicted. This is a great moment to upsell another product or redirect the user directly to the course player.
- You can choose the Use global navigation settings option, so it will work with the default settings you have in your school.
- You can decide whether, after the payment, the user will be redirected to:
- The Layout page( available for the Pro trainer plans or higher).
- The Course Player (available for the Pro trainer plans or higher).
- The school’s After Login page (where they can see their purchased courses).
- Τhe Thank you page (available for the Pro trainer plans or higher).
- Αnother page of your school (available for the Learning Center plans or higher).
- Αn external URL (available for the Learning Center plans or higher).
Shopify Integration: If Shopify is used for payments, the After Purchase Navigation settings will differ.
