Overview
This report assists publishers in confirming material readiness for courseware and bundles that are set up as publisher-delivered in Connect. It draws on adoption, section, and course-linking data to help publishers catch incorrect adoption set-up before a term begins, so students receive the correct materials on time.
Key Questions This Report Answers
Which of my (publisher-delivered) courseware and bundle adoptions are correctly set up for the current or upcoming term?
Which sections have adoptions that may need correction because publisher-delivery was not intended?
Does the LMS Course ID stored in Connect match what's registered in Launch for a given section?
How to Use This Report
Start with the filters — Select a Term to scope results to the term you want to review. You can further narrow by Institution, Parent Institution, or Section Status.
Interpret the results — Review each row's Section Status and compare Adopted Item, Matched Item, and Item Name to confirm the adoption reflects a title that should actually be publisher-delivered.
Take action — For any adoption that appears incorrectly set up, work with your bookstore or faculty contact to review the adoption, or reach out to the Publisher Enablement team for assistance.
| 💡 Tip: Results are limited to the previous 2 years through the next term — use the Term filter to focus only on the term(s) you're actively validating rather than scrolling through historical data. |
| 📝 If an item appears that is not meant to be publisher-delivered, the item set-up in the system may be incorrect. Work with your bookstore or faculty contact to review the adoption set-up, or reach out to the Publisher Enablement team for assistance. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does an item appear that isn't supposed to be publisher-delivered?
A: This usually indicates the adoption is incorrectly set up in Connect. Work with your bookstore or faculty contact to review the adoption set-up, or contact the Publisher Enablement team for assistance.
Q: Why don't I see sections outside the 2-year window?
A: The report is scoped to the previous 2 years through the next term to keep results focused on active readiness needs; data outside that window isn't included.
Q: Why might the LMS Course ID in Connect not match the LMS Course ID in Launch?
A: A mismatch usually indicates a set-up discrepancy between Connect and Launch and should be corrected to ensure the course links correctly.
