Overview
You’ve nailed the business need, the script is signed off, the build is beautiful, and you’re itching to hit that Publish button. But before you do, let’s make sure there aren’t any "hidden gremlins", and a final peer review is the secret sauce that turns a "good" course into a "fabulous" one. Let’s get those extra eyes on it ASAP, here are a couple of options:
Deploy the course and restrict who sees it.
By making the course live you can test that it works as your teams will see it. Use different browsers and devices that your teams will use for real. Deploy this course to the key people who’ll give you feedback quickly and honestly and agree with them the times they will review the content so that you can also set them back to their original learning profile afterwards.

This approach is quick, effective and you can reuse this process whenever you develop new courses, just change which courses you deploy.
Give them access to Easy Content Builder (ECB).
Meet Ivan, he’s been given access to ECB as a Content Admin, so he also gets to see the courses on your learning platform. Read this for a quick recap on how to navigate your courses menu.
Granted, there’s a small risk that someone else might accidentally undo what you’ve created (which is why it’s a good idea to share access to ECB within your trusted content creation team), but this is a better approach before you release your course. Do you have someone on your team with a passionate eye for detail who can spot and fix those last-minute great ideas, typo/grammar changes and make sure your course script stays in sync? Then let them at your course directly in ECB, it’ll save you time!
And the learning platform will help you if you try to edit this course when someone else is actively working on it, so you can better coordinate your efforts as a team:
