What should I check?** Confirm you’re in the lesson editor (create/edit) and verify your user role includes access to **Medias** and **Memberships/Courses**. **Q: Can I reuse the same video in multiple lessons or courses?** Yes. Importing is designed for reuse. Select the same Media Storage file in as many lessons as needed. **Q: Will learners see the imported media if the lesson isn’t published?** Learners only see published content. Save stores your changes; publishing makes them available based on your course visibility settings. --- ### **Related Articles** - [Complete Guide to Media Storage!](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/settings/sub-account-settings/complete-guide-to-media-storage) - [Media Storage & File Upload Limits](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/settings/sub-account-settings/media-storage-file-types-limits-advanced-features) - [Understanding Courses Dashboard](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/memberships-and-communities/membership-courses-sites/understanding-courses-dashboard) - [Getting Started - Launch a Course](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/getting-started-w-ghl-customer-care/commerce/getting-started-launch-a-course) --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care.
