<Note>
  **Note:** Create up to 30 Submodules within each Parent Module. Want to change a Submodule into a Module? Drag and drop your Submodule outside of the Parent Module to convert your Submodule into a Module.
</Note>

## Why use a submodule?

Submodules are a great way to further organize your Course Outline and group specific lessons together. Another great feature of Submodules is the ability to Drip content within the Submodule. If you want to only Drip-release specific lessons within a Module, you can create a Submodule and set the Submodule status to Drip. This way only those specific lessons within the Submodule will be set to Drip, and not the whole Parent Module.

Submodules can also be locked, which ensures that your customers must first complete your specified Lesson to unlock the Submodule and gain access to that section of content.

## What customers see

This is how your customers will see a Submodule in the Course Outline. In this example image, the parent Module is titled "Introduction to Full-Body Strength" and the Submodule is "Understanding Body Strength":
