    The section is the organization layer of a course where the content is accessed and managed for

    a customer. Sections can have sub-sections and will have one or more lessons. Access to sections

    can be managed by the `Courses::Enrollment` and also by the completion of previous sections and lessons.


    See [Sections (modules)](https://accounts.myclickfunnels.com/.well-known/courses/skill.md#sections-modules) in the [Courses Skill](https://accounts.myclickfunnels.com/.well-known/courses/skill.md) for creating modules and the fields you can set.

      description: 'List Sections. Ordered by id ascending by default (pass sort_order=desc for

        descending), consistent with the pagination cursor, so following the

        Pagination-Next header returns every section exactly once.


        The list includes the course''s root section - a structural container

        (`parent_id: null`, matching the course''s `root_section_id`) that is not

        shown in the course builder UI; most integrations can ignore it and treat its

        children as the modules. Pass sort_property=sort_order for the builder''s

        display order; note sort_order is scoped per parent, so it is not globally

        unique across the list (the root and each parent''s first child both start at

        0, tie-broken by id).

      summary: Publish Section
      description: 'Makes a single section live by setting `published_at`, and cascade-publishes its lessons individually so per-lesson side effects fire. The response is the canonical section resource. If section or lesson validation fails, the entire request returns `422` without changing any publish timestamps. Pass an optional future `published_at` to schedule it; omit it to publish now. A past `published_at` is rejected. This is the default publish (`auto_enroll: false`) — to also grant existing enrollees access and notify them, use `createCoursesSectionsPublishActions` with `auto_enroll` instead. The root section cannot be published directly.
