New documentation, Building a Course with edX Studio, is available online. You can also download the new guide as a PDF from the edX Studio user interface.

For more information, see the updated documentation for adding files to your course.

For more information, see the updated documentation for setting important dates for your course.
For new courses, sections and subsections now have a default release date of January 1, 2030. In this case, you must adjust the release date to the day you want students to be able to view the content. (STUD-1072)
