So you’ve shared a mini-course or collection with your learners, and it’s time for them to learn from your know-how. If your learners’ access setting includes verification, they’ll go through a quick process before getting started. Here’s how it works: they enter their email address, and a magic link is sent directly to their inbox. Once they click that link, it expires, verifying the learner and granting access to the content.
But why does the magic link expire? It’s for security. Expiring links ensure that only the learner who requested access can verify and view your content, protecting it from unauthorized sharing. After a learner has clicked the link, it won’t work again. And if they don’t finish the content in one sitting or want to revisit it, they’ll just need to access it via the share link or webpage rather than using the expired magic link.
Once verified, learners can access again and again—no extra steps required, as long as they don’t clear their browser cookies. If they do, they’ll simply go through the verification process the next time they access the collection.
And don’t worry about their progress being lost if cookies are cleared; it’s all stored under their email address. This way, they can pick up right where they left off, even after re-verifying.
Now that we know magic links are not for sharing, let’s check out the information below to see how to share content hassle-free.

Ways to Share your Content #
Sharing with a Link #
The simplest and most practical way to share your content is to get its share link and send it to your learners. For detailed instructions, refer to our guide on sharing a collection with a link or sharing a mini-course with a link.
If you own a domain, you can customize the share link of your collections and mini courses. For instance, if your domain is “yourdomain.com”, you can create a sub-domain such as “academy.yourdomain.com” and use our custom domain feature to make this sub-domain the share URL of your mini-course or collection. This way, you can create a section on your webpage that leads to the sub-domain, which would be super easy for your learners to reach. Additionally, this approach gives the appearance that learners have never left your website! For more information, check our guide on custom domains.
Embedding in Webpages #
You can also embed mini-courses or collections directly into webpages, allowing learners to re-engage with content. To experience embedded content, view an example here. For detailed instructions on embedding, refer to our guide on how to embed content in your webpage.
With our simple and secure verification flow, only verified learners can access your mini-courses or collections—keeping your content safe. After that quick initial check, learners can jump back in anytime without extra steps, making it easy for them to stay engaged and enjoy a seamless learning experience.
