How do you unpublish a course that has already been started?

Is there a difference between concluding a course and unpublishing a course?   I want to unpublish a course from last year. The option to unpublish is not visible.

Hi @LizardoMoreno -- Yes, there is a difference between Unpublishing and Concluding.   If you are unable to Unpublish, it's because students have submitted to the course.   If the course is no longer needed this year, probably the best thing to do is to Conclude the course and you can do this by going to Settings and entering an End date.   Additionally there is a check box to select if you want students to not be able to see the content in their past enrollments.
