SCORM item identifier in IMS manifest files - Do they change when republishing?

Feb 25, 2021

We are migrating to a new LMS (Totara) and the docs on updating SCORM packages have the following warning:

If you use the automatic update method described above, you still need to check that the current and new SCORM packages have the same item identifier in their IMS manifest files. If the new package has a different number, regardless of whether you update the SCORM automatically or manually, you will lose your completion and progress data.

So my question is if we make minor changes to a story file (or Rise) and re-publish will this item identifier always remain the same? We've never had an issue in our current system.
