    The lesson is the part of the course which teaches the material described within the course. Completing

    lessons can unlock access to other lessons or sections within a course. Completing lessons increases the

    course progress percent.


    See [Lessons](https://accounts.myclickfunnels.com/.well-known/courses/skill.md#lessons) in the [Courses Skill](https://accounts.myclickfunnels.com/.well-known/courses/skill.md) for creating and updating lessons.
