## Purpose

Invite an **existing learner** to a specific **course** from the **Data Manager**.

> **Note:**
The same workflow applies to **Program invitations** and (when the user is known) **Platform invitations**.

## Steps

### Open the Invitation App

- In **Data Manager**, navigate to **Catalog Invitation Apps**


### Choose Invitation Type

- Click **Add Course Invitations**
- *(For programs, choose **Add Program Invitations**; for platforms, choose **Add Platform Invitations**)*


### Select the Learner

- **Search for and pick** the user; they must **already exist** on the platform
- Leave the **Email field empty** (not required if the user is found)


### Confirm Status

- Ensure the **Active toggle** is **on**


### Pick the Course

- Choose the **course** the learner should join


### Save

- Click **Save**
- A **confirmation entry** confirms the course invitation was created


## Result

The learner now has an **invitation to the selected course**, issued directly by a **super‑admin**.
