# How to Use Drip Settings to Unlock Lessons Over Time

The Drip Settings feature allows you to automatically release your course lessons over a set period (e.g., after 3 days, 1 week, or 1 month from when a student enrolls). This helps you control the pace of your students' learning, preventing them from feeling overwhelmed by too much content at once.

#### How to Set Up Drip Settings

When creating or editing a module/lesson, navigate to the **Access & Visibility section**.

Click the dropdown menu and select "**Drip**."

A new field will appear where you can define the time frame for the content to be unlocked. 

* For example, choose "Display after 7 days."

Save the module/lesson to apply these changes. The content will now automatically be released to students after the specified time.

#### Benefits for Your Course

* **Increased Course Completion**: By guiding students through a structured, scheduled learning path, you encourage consistent progress and improve the course completion rate.
* **Streamlined Experience**: The content is delivered automatically, reducing the need for manual management and ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience for both you and your students.
* **Flexibility**: You can apply drip settings to individual lessons or entire modules, giving you full control over your course structure.

For best results, combine the drip feature with the "**Require student to complete before next**" option to ensure students are following the curriculum as intended.
