Progress Tracking: Members can see how far they’ve progressed in the course.
Lesson Completion: As members complete lessons, their progress is updated.
Navigation Options: You can choose between sequential navigation (where lessons must be completed in order) or free navigation (where members can access any lesson at any time).
Deleting Lessons and Modules
If you need to delete a lesson or module, be aware that this action will automatically clean up any associated files and videos. This ensures that your storage remains organized and free of unused content.
