If you make changes to a course, those changes may affect compliance.

Legal Tags & Compliance Considerations
US Harassment Prevention courses feature Legal Tags:
- Location: Bottom left corner of legally required slides
- Purpose: Identify content required for legal compliance
- Review required: Before making significant changes. Light copy edits do not materially impact compliance, but changing slides, removing sections, or swapping videos may affect required timing or legal coverage.

Compliance impact by edit type:
Lower risk (typically compliant):
- Minor text edits for clarity
- Adding organization-specific examples
- Simple image replacements
- Non-substantive formatting changes
Higher risk (may affect compliance):
- Removing slides with Legal Tags
- Changing interactive elements or knowledge checks
- Deleting legally mandated content sections
- Altering definitions of protected categories
Template Limitations
Some slide templates have editing restrictions:
- Identified by: Label in the bottom left corner of the editor

- Alternative: Contact support for assistance
