What to do after the import - your course is already exportable

You do not have to fill every lesson before you can download a working SCORM package.

Why this matters

LMSable's export skips any lesson that has no content yet. That means you can import a table of contents, export immediately, and get a valid SCORM 1.2 package containing only the lessons you have already filled - useful for testing your LMS setup, or for shipping a course in stages.

Steps

  1. After the import, the Lessons step shows the full list, filled and empty. The status row above the list counts how many lessons are ready, and a one-time tip reminds you that empty lessons are skipped in the export.
    Lessons step right after an import: the status row at 1 of 5 lessons ready with the tip that empty lessons are skipped in the export, and the module card with one Ready lesson and four Empty lessons
    One filled lesson is enough to preview and export.
  2. Click Preview in the bar with the course steps to check the filled lessons before exporting.
  3. Go to the Export step and click Download SCORM once at least one lesson has content - you do not need to wait until every lesson is filled.
  4. Come back later, fill more lessons with Fill a lesson: copy the prompt, paste the answer, and export again to replace the package in your LMS.

What you should see

The downloaded package contains only the lessons that had content when you exported. While every lesson is still empty, Download SCORM on the Export step stays disabled - fill at least one lesson first.

If something goes wrong

  • The exported course looks shorter than the outline: that is expected - empty lessons are left out on purpose. Fill the missing ones and export again.
  • You want every lesson to have at least a draft: tick Also draft lesson content in the Course brief on the Course step before you import, so the AI fills a working draft in every text lesson. Interaction, quiz and video lessons still need filling.
