Publishing

When your learning content is ready, publish it to make it accessible to learners. Impact Learning provides multiple publishing options to fit your needs.

Publishing Options

Public Publishing

Content is accessible to anyone with the link:

• No login required for learners
• Shareable URL for easy distribution
• Indexed by search engines (optional)
• Best for: Open courses, marketing content, public resources

Restricted Publishing

Content requires authentication or a special link:

• Only authorized users can access
• Share links with optional passwords
• Access tracking and analytics
• Best for: Internal training, paid courses, sensitive content

How to Publish

Step 1: Open the Publish Dialog

1. Click the Publish button in the preview toolbar
2. Or use the keyboard shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P)

Step 2: Configure Settings

Step 3: Publish

Click Publish and wait for the build to complete. You'll see:

1. Building — Content is being prepared
2. Uploading — Files are being deployed
3. Ready — Your content is live!

Your Published URL

After publishing, you get a permanent URL:

https://impactlearning.app/p/{publishId}/

This URL remains stable even if you update the content later.

Latest Version URL

Each project also has a "latest" URL that always points to the most recent publish:

https://impactlearning.app/p/chat/{chatId}/

Share this URL if you want learners to always access the newest version.
