Duplicate or Delete a Product

This article goes over how to duplicate and delete products in your Teachable school.

Overview

School owners can delete their Teachable products (i.e., courses, coaching products, or bundles) at any time.

TIP: If you want to delete your entire school, learn how in the Delete Your School or Account article.

Additionally, school owners can duplicate courses in their school. You might want to duplicate a course in order to keep an extra copy for backup, or if you would like to build a new course that uses parts of the same curriculum of an existing course.

Duplicate a course

School owners can duplicate a course within their own school at any time.

When you duplicate a course, all course content (except for student enrollment records) will be duplicated into another course. This means that the course curriculum, course thumbnail image, and page content will all be duplicated into a new course.

The new course will appear in the Courses section. The duplicate will be denoted with a number in the title (e.g., (Ice Cream Making for Beginners (1)). You can modify the name of the duplicated course in the Information area of the course admin.

NOTE: Coaching products and bundles cannot be duplicated.

To duplicate a course:

  1. Navigate to the Courses page.
  2. Under Actions, click the More options (three dot) icon.
  3. Click Duplicate Course.
  4. In the popup window, click Duplicate to confirm.

Deleting a bundle does not delete the individual courses or coaching products included in the bundle. If you would like to delete an individual course or delete an individual coaching product, you must do so separately.

When a bundle is deleted, students who enrolled in the bundle will lose access to the individual courses and products that were included in the bundle. If a student purchased a bundle as a recurring subscription or payment plan, those payments will end once the bundle is deleted.
