It would be fantastic if each course had a "Start Course" or "Begin Course" button on the course curriculum page. As it is, the course begins as soon as the student enrolls, which is fine if they have purchased a single course. However, I have a premium membership that includes all my courses, so if I don't disable course automation, when a premium member signs up they get a tidal wave of emails which continues as they receive the automated messages I set up for the course. So, as it stands, I had to shut the automated messages off. Which is a shame, because they are a great personal touch as people work through a course. I was really impressed as I was setting things up that I could automate followup as students worked through each course - and really disappointed to discover that the messages flood in all at once for the inclusive membership :o(

If there was a button "Begin Course" on the curriculum page the automation could be set to start when that button is clicked rather than on signup and we would be able to take advantage of the automation and personal touch that it offers.

Thank you! :o)
