Karen, that would not work for our purposes, for the following reasons:

At the college where I work, I share the link to the Course Reserves with all
faculty in preparation for the upcoming semester. I ask them to review the
courses they will be teaching and respond via a form, linked to a spreadsheet
that I then work from to organize, activate and prepare the lists. I often do
not know exactly who will be teaching what, when, so it is not practical for me
to activate all courses before getting these responses; I just send out the
link and form to ALL faculty/adjunct faculty. Furthermore, once I activate
courses so instructors can actually see them in Koha (ideally a month prior to
the semester, to give me time to make purchases and procure ILLs), patrons are
blocked from borrowing those books. That's not necessary, so far in advance

We aren't concerned about Course Reserves lists being "behind the scenes"
because our course reserves are not private or confidential. I think that most
student patrons rarely use this function in the OPAC, and when they do, it's
for a course they're enrolled in, which would in that case already be active
and ready to go. You could also put a clear note about this beside course
reserves search bar/page in the OPAC: "Course Reserves are subject to change. A
list is not confirmed and available until marked 'Active'." (Or something along
those lines.) Perhaps, users could even apply a filter to show 'active' courses
only.
