Can't open Course Builder

Hello,

I've downloaded Course Builder App for Mac but couldn't open it. It says 'can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated.'

Anyone has any suggestion on this?

    If you have checked for updates and you trust the source, you could go the Mac's Gatekeeper settings and try to bypass.

    Adjust Gatekeeper settings to allow apps from unidentified developers to be opened.

    • Open "System Preferences" from the Apple menu.
    • Click on "Security & Privacy."
    • In the "General" tab, look for something stating that the app was blocked from opening. Click the "Open Anyway" button next to it.
    • Confirm your action when prompted.
    • Retry opening the Course Builder App.

    Thank you for that tip. I've tried again but the same error message was prompted after I hit open anyway. Is there anything else I could do?
