# What happens when an admin changes a course or learning path from published to draft?

 

* **Inviting Students**

When a course or learning path is in Draft mode, admins cannot invite new students to it. To invite new students, the course or learning path must be published again.

* **Student Access**

Students will not be able to access the contents of courses or learning paths in Draft mode. If a student is currently enrolled and the status is changed from Published to Draft, they will be unable to continue. However, all their progress information will be retained in the platform, so it can be accessed again once the course is republished.
