If you'd like to change one of your live courses, you can do this quickly using Re-release. Re-releasing a course will apply any new changes made in your Project to your live course, meaning you don't have to re-upload the course zip file to your LMS or change existing links on your website or LRS.
For example, you may notice a typo in your course which you would like to correct. You can go back into your Project, correct the typo and re-release your content. Your live course will be automatically updated to reflect your changes.
Re-release is only compatible with the SCORM for LMS and Online Link release types as the content for these release types is hosted on the Elucidat servers. Live courses that use the Backup SCORM release type cannot be updated in the LMS environment via re-release as its content is contained within the package itself. If you've re-released a Backup SCORM, you'll need to export it from the platform and re-upload it to your LMS to see the changes.
| Caution: Most changes you make to your Project will be reflected in your course after a re-release. However, if you have changed the SCORM tracking mode, you should create a new release instead as the change will not be reflected in the re-release course; instead the course will retain its original tracking mode. |
Re-releasing a course
1. Open the Project you wish to re-release and select Release:
2. Find the release you wish to update and press the Re-release icon:
Your course will now begin re-releasing. It may take a minute or two to re-release your course.
While the course is re-releasing, you can leave this screen and carry on with your work. You will receive an email notification to tell you once it has completed.

Caution: When a course is re-released, the bookmarking of any learners that are mid-way through the course will be reset.
This means that if your learner leaves the course part-way through and re-visits the module, they will see the first page and their score will be reset. If you'd like to retain the bookmarking for a release, see Preserving your learners' bookmarking following a re-release to learn more. |
