Make a Hidden Unit Visible to Learners
Before you make a hidden unit visible to learners, be aware that course content
will immediately be visible to learners, as follows.
For a hidden unit that previously was published, deselecting Hide from
learners publishes the current content for the unit. If you made changes to
the unit while is was hidden, those draft changes are published.
When you make a section or subsection that was previously hidden visible to
learners, draft content in units is not published. Changes you made since
last publishing units are not made visible to learners.
You can make a hidden unit visible to learners from the unit page or the course
outline. Follow the instructions above and clear the Hide from learners
check box.
You are prompted to confirm that you want to make the unit visible to learners.
