How to remove the "No lectures yet" message from your course

If you open your course (or if a student opens it) and you see the message “No lectures yet”, it means the lectures you created are still in draft mode and have not been published.

This is a very common situation on systeme.io, especially after creating a new course or importing content. The good news is that the fix is extremely simple.

Here is the complete explanation and the exact steps to solve it.

Why does the “No lectures yet” message appear?

When you create a new lecture, systeme.io automatically saves it as a draft (inactive). Inactive lectures are shown with a grey icon and are not visible to students.

As long as no lecture is activated, the system displays the message “No lectures yet” both in the preview and in the student view.

1. Open the course

Log in to your systeme.io account.

Go to Assets → Courses and click on the course that shows the message.

You will see the list of modules and lectures. Inactive lectures have a grey icon next to them.

2. Activate the lectures

For each lecture that is still inactive:

1. Hover over the three dots (...) next to the lecture name
2. Click Activate
3. Confirm the action

The icon will change from grey to active (usually green or colored), and the lecture becomes available.

Repeat this for every lecture you want your students to see.

3. Verify that the message has disappeared

After activating at least one lecture, preview the course again.

The “No lectures yet” message will be gone, and both you and your students will see the real content.

Important tips

• Every time you create a new lecture, it is automatically saved as a draft. You must activate it manually.
• You can activate lectures one by one. There is currently no bulk activate option.
• If you imported a PLR course or used a shared course, all lectures often start inactive — so you need to activate them after the import.

Once all the important lectures are activated, your course is fully ready for students.

Conclusion

The “No lectures yet” message on systeme.io simply means that your lectures are still in draft mode. By clicking “Activate” on each lecture, the message disappears instantly and the content becomes visible to your students.

Always remember to activate new lectures after creating them — this small step makes the difference between an empty-looking course and a fully functional learning experience.

Activate your lectures now and enjoy a clean student view on systeme.io.
