A CourseLesson is an individual learning unit within a Course. Lessons are the building blocks that customers complete to work through a course’s content. Each lesson belongs to a Course and optionally to a CourseSection that groups related lessons together. Lessons have two key behavioural settings: UnlockType — controls when a lesson becomes available to enrolled members:

Value	Meaning
Immediate	Available as soon as the member enrols
Sequential	Unlocked only after the previous lesson is completed
Timed	Unlocked after a number of days specified by `UnlockAfterDays`

CompletionType — defines what action marks the lesson as done:

Value	Meaning
None	No completion tracking
Visited	Marked complete when the member opens the lesson
Button	Member must click a completion button
Video	Member must finish watching the embedded video (must be hosted on YouTube)
