# Publish Course

`POST /courses/{id}/publish`

Makes the course live by setting `published_at`. Pass an optional future `published_at` to schedule the publish; omit it (or leave it blank) to publish immediately.
**Note**: publishing the course does not publish its sections or lessons — use the `Courses::Sections::PublishAction` resource for that.
Returns 422 if `published_at` is supplied but is not a valid ISO 8601 datetime.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `published_at` string, date-time — Optional ISO 8601 datetime at which the course should become live. Omit or leave blank to publish immediately.
