Who can edit lessons in the front-end editor?

Only Site admins, at this time. Instructors will get access in future releases.

Why we lock lesson editing

Locking lesson editing prevents issues with inaccurate grading. This could happen if you alter a lesson after a learner already completed it.

When does it lock?

The lock begins on the course’s start date, which is set in the Course Info tab.

Which settings lock?

Only a few important lesson settings lock. Here are the details:

(error) You can’t…

(tick) You can…

  • Create new lesson parts.

  • Delete lesson parts.

  • Edit question lesson parts, which includes:

    • Add a question title, description, and question type.

    • Set a score and correct answer.

    • Add, delete, and reorder answers.

  • Edit lesson information, like the title, slug, abstract, description, and image.

  • Set a passing percentage.

  • Toggle grading on and off.

  • Reorder lesson parts.

  • Edit video and blurb lesson parts.

Unlock lesson editing

If you need to unlock editing for the settings listed above, there is a workaround.

How you do it depends on the status of the course. Look for an orange, red, or green colored dot at the top of the page in the course’s editor. Then look at the table below to find out how to unlock editing.

Info

The status isn’t visible while you are editing a lesson. Go to the Lesson Plan or Course Info tab instead.

In the Course Info tab, the course status is shown below the front-end editor page title.
