Publishing a version

A draft can be edited forever and assigned to nobody. Publishing is what makes content real, and it is the only action in these journeys that Knowspread stops to warn you about — because an active version can never be edited again.

Verified: Captured on 2026-09-08 by finishing and activating the course the previous journey created. The activation was real; the course now has an active version and the draft is locked.

1. Get to “Vše dokončeno”

Nothing can be published while anything is unfinished. The pill that counted the problems is also how you know you are done.

Three ways forward, and only the last one commits

1. Vše dokončeno replaces the count (1) — the label switches rather than counting down to nought.
2. ODESLAT KE SCHVÁLENÍ hands the draft to whoever approves content (2), without publishing it.
3. SCHVÁLIT marks it approved (3). Still not published.
4. AKTIVOVAT is the one that publishes (4).

Fact: The lesson and step rows in the left column gain green ticks as they become valid, so the structure shows its own state without the list below.

Open question: Whether an owner is meant to be able to use ODESLAT KE SCHVÁLENÍ and SCHVÁLIT on their own draft. Both are active here, so approval can be a formality of one person — which may be the intent for a small space and may be an oversight.

2. See what exists before you publish

The Verze tab is the content’s history. Before publishing it holds exactly one row.

Version 1, still a draft, with no activation date

1. The card repeats the state as a badge (1): KONCEPT, one lesson, one step.
2. The description you wrote is what a learner will read before starting (2) — it is not an internal note.
3. Datum aktivace is the column that is empty (3), and filling it is what publishing means.

Fact: Versions are numbered from 1 and the number does not change. A published version keeps its number forever; the next set of edits becomes version 2.

3. Read the warning

AKTIVOVAT does not act immediately. It explains itself first, and this is the paragraph worth reading twice.

123

The one warning in these journeys, and it is accurate

1. “Aktivní verzi již není možné editovat” is the whole versioning model in one sentence (1). Further changes require founding another version.
2. ZRUŠIT leaves the draft as it was (2).
3. AKTIVOVAT publishes (3).

Fact: The dialog also says the activated version becomes the current shape of the content — so anyone who already had this course assigned moves to this version.

4. Land on a locked version

123

A padlock, a statement, and one button left

1. A padlock joins the course’s name (1).
2. Tato verze je aktivní stands where the action bar used to be (2) — send, approve and activate are all gone.
3. NÁHLED is the only button left (3): you can look, not change.

Fact: The fields are still on screen and still readable — only the underlines change from solid to dotted. The screen tells you it is locked by what it removed, not by hiding what it kept.

Where this leaves you

Fact: A course of your own with an active version, sitting in the content list beside the bought ones and ready to be put in a study plan.

Missing: What founding version 2 looks like, and whether the active version keeps serving learners while the next one is being written. The dialog implies it does; no screen here confirms it.

Fact: What a new version does to people already studying is decided per assignment, not per version. The assign-content dialog in building a plan carries a switch called Přiřadit znovu při zásadních změnách, and its footnote is explicit: if a version with substantial changes is activated, those learners’ progress is voided and the content is assigned to them again.

Missing: What ODESLAT KE SCHVÁLENÍ does to the approvals screen — this journey took the direct route and never sent anything for approval.

Next: building a plan to put the course in, and assigning it to a group — which is where content finally meets people. See study plans for the plan screen itself.
