How and Why to Create a New Course Version - Leadership Academy

This article describes why an admin would want to create a new course version, as well as how to do so. Creating a new course version is different from creating a course.

When to create a new course version

One course may be configured differently for different audiences and/or may be updated periodically with updated content. To account for this variation within a course without affecting learners, the platform utilizes course versions. 

Versions allow different audiences to see variations of the same course. For example, if a course is configured for a marketing team and then a supply chain team wants to take the course, you may wish to reconfigure a few aspects of the course for the new audience. Rather than rebuilding a new course from scratch, you can create a new course version within the same course without changing the content for the cohort that already took the course.  

Another example: If you build a course this year and then next year you update the content, learners that took the course this year will be confused if they revisit the course. Should they have taken the new version of the course? Did they miss a memo about viewing the updated content?

How to create a new course version

1. Click on the admin tools icon on the top right of any page after logging in.
