Help! A course I bought/was learning is missing!

When you pause a course, you have simply removed it from the courses you are currently learning. This means that the course is still there for you to pick up whenever you feel like it. Think of it as putting it in storage in your garage.

How to unpause a course

If your courses tab is set to 'Show All'

  • Paused courses will appear grayed out in your course list.

  • To unpause a course, click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the course and select 'Unpause' from the drop-down menu:

Unpausing the Everything You Need to Know About Chess course on Chess.com

If your courses tab is set to 'Show Active' or 'Show Completed'

  • Click the 'Show' option and select 'Paused' to display your paused courses.

  • Once the paused course appears, follow the steps above to unpause it.
