# Course Content - view

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Welcome to Our New API Docs!** This is the new home for all things API (previously at [Canvas LMS REST API Documentation](https://api.instructure.com)).

## Course Content - view

### What it Does

#### Courses

Allows user to view published and unpublished course content.

### Additional Considerations

#### Admin Tools (Undelete Courses)

If Courses - manage and Courses - undelete are also enabled, an account-level user will be able to restore deleted courses in Admin Tools.

#### Courses

If disabled, user will still have access to Course Settings.

User cannot manage individual course content without the appropriate permission for that content item.

If course visibility is limited to users enrolled in the course, this permission allows the user to view course content without being enrolled in the course.

#### Gradebook

To view the Gradebook, Grades - view all grades must also be enabled.
