Quick Questions
Do changes automatically update for learners already in progress?
Learners who are in progress will complete the course they were originally assigned. If changes are significant, you may wish to reassign the course.
Will editing the course affect the original EasyLlama Expert Version?
No. You are editing only your custom version. The original course remains unchanged.
