Overview

You can duplicate or delete any Teachable product—courses, digital downloads, coaching, or bundles—within your school.

Duplicating is useful for creating backups or building off existing content. Deleting is permanent and removes the product from your school.

Tip: If you're looking to delete your entire school instead, check out the Delete your school or account article.

Duplicating or deleting unpublished products will not count toward your published product limits. Learn more about plan limits here.
