How do I edit course content?

You can edit your course content at any time. Course edits are automatically saved. However, edits to published courses will have to be republished before changes can be viewed in the course. Edits made to the required score, due date, or certificate will not require republishing.

If you make edits to a course with users in progress, the users will be redirected to the beginning of the course to get the updated content. Users cannot view updated content until you publish your changes.

Notes:
• Some features may be restricted based on permissions for your user role.
Uploaded courses can only be replaced. They cannot be edited.

View Editor Lockout Message

Attempting to edit a course that is currently being worked on by another author will result in a warning message explaining the course is not available for editing. The Publish and Discard Changes options on the Course Details page will be also be disabled while the course is being edited by another Author. This prevents content changes from being lost or overwritten while more than one person is attempting to edit the course at one time. The course will unlock either when the course editor is closed by the author or 15 minutes after the author's last edit was made.
