Learn - Replace SCORM, PDF, XLS, PPT or Word content when changes are made

In this article, we'll explain how to replace SCORM, PDF, XLS, PPT, and Word content that has been previously imported into Learn LMS. This might be necessary, for example, to update a document or eLearning to a new version. 

The below steps apply most commonly where the change is minor, and any Users who have completed the original Lesson can retain their ‘Complete’ status with the updated version. If the change to the content is more significant, then a different process will likely be necessary. Before you replace content files, take a look at What to do when eLearning content gets updated for recommended steps. 

Note that MP4 and MOV video files are updated via a different process.

Steps to upload a new version of SCORM, PDF, XLS, PPT or Word content

1. Browse to the Lesson area of Learn admin:
2. Select the Lesson for which content should be updated
3. Select eLearning set up (for all other content):
4. Select 'Replace content files'
5. Select 'Choose file'
6. Browse and select the file to upload
7. Select 'Start Upload' to replace the content with the new version
