A feature that makes it easier to edit and manage courses. So far the Duplicate function allowed you to create an exact copy of an existing course and change it, but the courses did not keep any connection with each other. With the Versionate option, the copy of the course will be stored as a new version itself, and the system will keep a record of all existing versions.

The versioning tool will have new practical applications that will be incorporated in future versions of the LMS.

Creating a new version

To create a new version of a course, click on the three-dot drop-down menu on the right side, and select the Versionate option.

Copies of the course are created and numbered consecutively: the first one will be v1.0, and the new versions created from them will be v2.0, v3.0... You can see which one it is by checking the Version column, next to the course title. The original version is the one with the empty field (-).

To version a course you must take the most recent copy. It is not possible to version a copy that already has a newest version. If you try this, the system will return an error message.

All new versions have the status Not yet published, like new content, regardless the status of the original course.
