Pro Tip
Will students be able to see everything in my course site when I click publish?
Students will be able to see any content you've made visible in the site (i.e., where you toggled the hidden/visible option when you made it) unless you have set a specific availability start date on that content, or a release condition. If you leave an item hidden students won't be able to see it.
