+
+.. note:: A content group can be associated with more than one cohort; a cohort

+
+To associate a cohort with a content group, follow these steps:

-   The page refreshes to show the name of your new content group.
-
-#. Repeat this step to create as many content groups as you want.
-
-After you create a content group, you can work with your course outline to
-specify which components are available to specific content groups. For details,
-see :ref:`Specify Content as Available Only to Certain Content Groups`.
-
-You associate each content group with one or more cohorts in the LMS, on the
-instructor dashboard. For details, see :ref:`Associate Cohorts with Content
-Groups`.
-
-
-.. _Specify Content as Available Only to Certain Content Groups:
-
-******************************************************************
-Specify Content as Available Only to Particular Content Groups
-******************************************************************
-
-In Studio, you can modify the settings of units or components to give access
-only to learners who are in cohorts associated with particular content groups.
-You cannot specify entire subsections or sections for restricted access by
-particular content groups.
-
-You do not need to edit the access settings of units or components that are
-intended for all learners. Units or components that you do not restrict access
-to are available to all learners enrolled in your course, regardless of the
-cohort that they belong to.
-
-.. note:: If a unit has group access restrictions set, all of its child
-   components inherit these group access restrictions unless you explicitly
-   set different group access restrictions for individual child components.
-
-For details about how to modify unit access settings, see :ref:`Set Access
-Restrictions For a Unit`.
-
-For details about how to modify component access settings, see :ref:`Set Access
-Restrictions For a Component`.
-
-For details about previewing your course to ensure that learners in a cohort
-correctly see the content intended for them, see :ref:`View Usage of a Content
-Group` and :ref:`Viewing Cohort Specific Courseware`.
-
-.. note:: In addition to access settings for content groups, a learner's
-   ability to see a course component also depends on whether it is marked as
-   visible to staff only, whether the unit is published, and the course's
-   release date. For details about testing course content in general, see
-   :ref:`Testing Your Course Content`.

-Viewing Cohort-Specific Course Content
-**************************************
-
-After you restrict access to units or components to particular content groups,
-you can view your course content as a member of a content group to ensure that
-members of each group correctly see the content intended for them.
-
-.. note:: In addition to access settings for content groups, a learner's
-   ability to see a unit or component also depends on whether it is marked as
-   visible to staff only, whether the unit is published, and the component's
-   release date. For details about viewing course content in various publishing
-   states, see :ref:`View Published Content` and :ref:`Preview Unpublished
-   Content`.
-
-Depending on whether you want to view published content or unpublished content,
-you choose either **View Live** or **Preview** from the course outline in
-Studio. You can then experience the course content as a learner in a particular
-group would, by selecting the **View this course as** option for a learner in
-the desired content group, as described in :ref:`Roles for Viewing Course
-Content`.
-
-For details about testing course content, see :ref:`Testing Your Course
-Content`.

-   that content group.
-
-#. Click the content group name to view the names of units and components that

-Delete Content Groups
-*********************
-
-.. note:: You can delete a content group only if it is not in use in any course
-   unit. To delete a content group that is currently in use, you must first
