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 lessons.

  • Delete lessons.

  • Reorder lessons.

  • 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.

Note

If you edit grading settings after the course start date, you should recalculate grades in case learners already started the course.

Unlock lesson editing

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