Looking for some help using Discourse for an online course (LMS) platform. Below is a diagram of what we would like to achieve.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/d/7d7e520870f2b540054970ba097c75f68cc2630f.png)

We want to host asynchronous courses and allow private groups of users to access the course content. We would start by assigning users to a private group and then providing this private group access to a private subcategory. (Steps 1-4 above.)

Step 5 is where I am confused and could use some advice and/or consulting support. The course content would be contained within a separate category. We would need Topics from the Course Content category to be pushed into the Private Subcategory, which is where groups will be discussing the course content and responding to prompts within the pushed topics.

**Specifically, my questions are:**

- Is there a way to retain topics within a category and push duplicate copies into a private subcategory?
- Is there a way to automate the release of these pushed topics from the date of Step 4?

Thanks in advance for any support.
