Adds live-class session scheduling on lessons (join link, date/time, timezone) with automatic 24h and 1h reminder emails plus a calendar invite (.ics), a time-change notification with an updated invite, a teacher-authored welcome email and session invite on enrollment, and a "Notify students" quiz nudge. LMS gets an upcoming live-sessions card and Join buttons, plus a reusable live-session card component (3 states) in @cio/ui with a Storybook story. The sidebar content tree now reflects sequential progression locking like the content list, and the course-completion confetti regression is fixed. Org-based emails no longer reference ClassroomIO by name. Docs add live-class, welcome-email, and course-progression guides, expand the certificates guide (design, signatures, corrected labels), move plan-required callouts to the top, flatten how-to-guides to the docs root with redirects, and add screenshots. Includes an add-docs-image skill.

Every course can send a personalized welcome email when a student enrolls. Use it to greet students, share what to
|
|
expect, or include a link such as a live session URL.
|
|
|
|
## Write the welcome message
|
|
|
|
<Steps>

|
|
<Step>
|
|

|
## How it sends
|
|
|
|
The welcome email goes out automatically whenever a student enrolls, whether they self-enroll, accept an invite, or are
|
|
added from the audience. Your message appears in the email above the standard "Sign in to the LMS" link.
|
|
|
|
<Callout type="info">
|
|
Leave the **Welcome email** blank to use ClassroomIO's default welcome message. Formatting is cleaned for safe email
|
|
delivery, so some advanced styling may be simplified.
|
|
</Callout>
|
|
|
|
## Live class courses: automatic session invite
|
|
|
|
For a **Live class** course with a scheduled session, the welcome email also attaches a calendar invite for the next
|
|
session, so students can add it to their calendar the moment they enroll. You do not set this up here; it is pulled from
|
|
the session you scheduled on the lesson. See [Run a Live Class](/docs/live-class).
