# Create a course

> Start a course with the editor or the wizard.

You need permission to author courses. Students cannot create courses.

## Start a course

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open New Course">
    From **Courses** or the Overview header, click **New Course**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a path">
    **Rittly Editor** (recommended): write lessons as a document with slash commands, quizzes, and media.

    **Quick wizard**: three steps for details, a curriculum outline, and pricing when you already know the shape.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resume or start fresh">
    If a draft is already in progress, you can continue it. Starting fresh discards an unpublished draft that has lessons — Rittly asks you to confirm first.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Catalogue filters

On **Courses**, filter **All**, **Drafts**, or **Archived**. Search by title, ID, category, or instructor.

## After it exists

Open a course to see About, lessons, learners, pricing, settings, and preview. **Edit** reloads the published course into the editor. Republishing keeps learner progress aligned by lesson position, not by deleted IDs.
