@MohamedSale473Hello

To my understanding you would have to publish your course first, and then share a coupon code for your network to access the course for free. Then, you could make changes to the course based on feedback with the course being live.

I gave feedback to Udemy about us seeing this feature as valuable and necessary to share draft links.

Yes, you can give access to someone to review your course while it's unpublished on Udemy. Here's a simple way to do it:

1. Invite Them as Co-Instructors: You can add the colleagues you want to review your course as co-instructors. This will give them access to the course content and allow them to provide feedback. To do this, go to the "Course Management" section in your Udemy instructor dashboard, select "Co-instructors," and then click on "Invite Co-instructor." Enter their email address and send them an invitation.

2. Share Preview Links: Another option is to generate preview links for specific sections or lectures of your course and share them with your colleagues. Preview links allow them to access and review specific parts of your course without having full editing access. You can generate preview links for individual lectures or sections by going to the "Course Management" section, selecting "Course Landing Page," and then clicking on "Preview Links."

Thanks @Alexia
but that would mean my course is published and any mistakes or issues are available for everyone to see.

Thanks @MusaZanna
. I will give the second suggestion an try and let you know the outcome. The first one might be a bit cumbersome because none of them is really familiar with Udemy instructor view, course management...etc.

And that’s exactly what I would like to avoid.

I put a decent amount of effort in making the course and I would like to see it welcomed by the audience and paying off

OK, I see what you mean now. It doesn't give the other person anything to see actually. I wonder why it's even there.

@MusaZanna
just to let you know. I tried option 2 and it doesn't work. The person who gets the preview link sees nothing of the course content. Just one line message saying please contact the course author for details...etc. So it's not an option.

I think you have not enabled the preview mode. Take a look at the picture attached.
