Timed Release of Courses in a Learning Path & Related System Notifications
Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 28 October 2025.
We have several Learning Paths configured with the timed release of courses feature. They all consist of the following configuration:
1) First course is immediately available and configured to release at zero days
2) Second course is configured with a timed release of 30 days from assignment/self-enrollment into the Learning Path
What's confusing for learners (and for me as an administrator) is that the timed release email is sent for the first course, even though that course is available right away.
Have you seen your learners confused over this first email?

Hi Beth, I've just confirmed this with out team:
Yes that is expected for now. Timed release email will be sent for every course that is released including the one that's released on the same day. This service to the send the timed release reminder email runs every hour, so they may not get an email immediately after the Learning path is assigned but within an hour.
I hope this helps.
