Title
Public course outline visible on course home but missing on courseware page – feature or bug?
Body
Hello everyone,
I’m currently testing public course content behavior on Open edX (Teak release) and noticed something confusing. I wanted to check if this is an expected feature or a bug.
Observed behavior
-
When I visit the course home page of a public course (as an anonymous user), the course outline is visible.
-
However, when I navigate inside the course to a specific unit (i.e., the courseware page), the course outline is no longer visible for the same public course.
For reference, I’ve attached two screenshots:
-
Course home page showing the outline
-
Courseware page where the outline is missing
Expected behavior
I expected the course outline to remain visible on the courseware page as well.
What I’ve already checked
-
Course is set to Public
-
Course Visibility in Catalog is set to Both
-
Followed all steps mentioned in the official Open edX documentation:
https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/site_ops/how-tos/enable_public_course_content.html -
Changes are tested in an incognito session (logged out)
Question
Is this behavior:
-
an intended limitation / feature of public course content (especially with Learning MFE), or
-
a bug / known issue in Teak?
Any clarification or pointers to relevant issues or documentation would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
