You can hide topics, modules, and downloads from your students in the Classic Content Experience.
Note: For more information about the differences between the Classic Content Experience and the New Content Experience (Lessons), refer to Content experiences.
Hide content topics and modules in the Classic Content Experience
You can hide individual topics or entire content modules in the Classic Content Experience.
To hide content topics and modules
- Navigate to Content.
- Open the context menu of the topic or module you want to hide.
- Do one of the following:
- Select Hide from Users.
- Select the visibility icon for the topic or module. A visibility toggle appears to allow you to change between Visible and Hidden.
|
Note: When a topic is hidden from users, its visibility status appears only in the following situations:
- The Table of Contents is in Bulk Edit mode.
- The topic is in Edit-in-Place mode.
- The topic itself is not visible to users.
You can no longer change the visibility status of topics or modules from the Table of Contents flyout menu. If a topic or module is hidden, a hidden icon appears beside it. To make it visible to users, open its context menu and select Make Visible to Users.
When you create new activities from Content, such as a new Checklist, Discussion, or Assignment, the Hide from Users check box appears below the activity title. This option lets you control the visibility of the new activity before you publish it.
To make content available only to specific users, use Release Conditions. Unlike Hide from Users, which hides content from everyone, Release Conditions let you grant access to a topic or module only to selected users, such as learners with accommodations or extensions. Refer to About Release Conditions for details and instructions.

Disable download feature in Content
To disable the ability for students to download content, the following permissions must be disabled for students in the Content tool:
- Compile and Download Content
- Download Content Topics
Once these permissions are disabled, students will not be able to see the Download button.
This solution requires an administrator navigate to Roles and Permissions and perform the updates. This is not configurable on a course-by-course basis.
