# Changing the Visibility of a Curriculum Component

Visibility settings determine who can see a curriculum component. There are two options for visibility settings:

- **District** – A district curriculum component can be viewed by every user in the district but can only be edited by a user with the Create District Curriculum Courses right.
- **Private** – A private curriculum component can only be viewed by its creator and other individuals with whom the creator or owner has shared the curriculum component.

Users with the **Create District Curriculum Courses** right can determine whether a curriculum component is visible to all users at a district or only to select individuals by changing this setting.

A course is a structured program of instruction centered on a specific subject and grade level.

A unit is a bundle of individual standards, a set of lessons, and resources. Each unit focuses on a specific topic, theme, or skill within a subject area.

A lesson is a single instructional session, usually housed within a unit, that focuses on a specific learning objective.

A resource is any additional content used to supplement courses, units, or lessons.
