Edit a course

The main author of the course, other authors from their group, co-authors, and platform administrators can edit courses, even after they have been shared or added to a path. This allows them to update or correct it.

You can access active courses by clicking Courses at the top of the homepage.

Editing the same course in multiple browsers or tabs can lead to lost changes.
