The new Course Content drip feed feature allows you to manage when different elements on your Course Pages are visible to users. This is particularly useful if you don’t want to release all content on a particular page in one go.

Types of Drip:

• Automated: Based on registration date
  This will deliver the content of your course page (block/rows) on autopilot and members will be able to access the element of the page depending on their course registration date.
• Scheduled: Delivered on a specific date
  With this feature, you can choose a date when a specific course page element (block/row) will be accessible.
  Simply select the date, time, and timezone.

• Number of days: You have to specify the number of days based on the registration date when they can access the element.

  NOTE! The Timezone that is set on Global settings will be applied.For example:1. Today is August 3 at 23:58 and drip is enabled for 2 days (August 5).
