Create a new version of a course

This feature is activated on-demand only for now. Contact your Client Success Partner (CSP) if you’re interested.

Admins, editors, and contributors can create new versions of their courses.

Platform admins can create new versions of any course.

A course can have a maximum of 20 versions.

You cannot create new versions of SCORM courses. However, if your platform uses the new player, new versions are available for eLearning standard courses. To check which player you're using, click Create → Course: if the modal shows eLearning standard, you are on the new player.

Create a new version of a course

Creating a new course version allows contributors and editors to centralize course updates under a version number, view the version played by a user, and view the version history of a course.

It also resets reactions and comments in each activity of the course. See the section Impact of creating a new version below.

1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.
3. On the top bar, click Version N (N is the number of the current version) → Release new version.
4. Add version notes.
5. Click Confirm.

Impact of creating a new version

Creating a new version will reset the reactions and comments in each activity in the course. This has the following impact:

• The course forum will be empty when a new version is created (but downloading course comments will show comments from all versions of the course). Make sure you’ve addressed all course comments before creating a new version.
• In the course statistics page:
  • The reaction score of the course may change (because the reactions from each activity are reset).
  • The relevance score of the course remains identical (because the reactions Useful/Not useful at the end of the course are not reset).
  • All numbers in the section Course Activities are reset to 0.
  • In the Score by question section, the numbers in the Answers and Score columns are reset to 0.

Visibility for users

Users don't see which version of a course they are playing. They always see the most recent applicable changes:

• Changes within an activity are visible instantly.
• Added, reordered, or deleted activities are visible after refreshing the course.

In both cases, changes are visible regardless of whether they were published as a new version.

For learners in a path session, the version they see depends on whether they have started the course:

• Not yet started: they see the latest version automatically.
• Already in progress: they see the version from their original attempt and will see the updated content on their next attempt.

To force all learners to replay the course immediately, you can copy the course, replace it in the path, and enable the new content notification (in the advanced path settings). Learners will be required to replay the new course to complete the path.

2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.
