If a user was in the middle of completing a scorm file using on an online LMS and I had to replace it with an edited/ updated version, what would happen to the users progress in the original scorm file ?
Would he/she lose all their progress and have to start again ?
Are you creating a new version of an existing course?
What are the extent of the changes?
For example, if you are using Cornerstone LMS and you need to upload an update to the course which doesn't change the SCORM structure (e.g. a few minor text/graphic changes) then Cornerstone will allow you to upload the changes to the LMS, apply the changes instantly and if someone is part way through the course they won't lose their progress and have to start over.

Yes, it would be like the user has never taken the new course because you are uploading a brand new file. The LMS won't know the difference.
Whoa there! It depends on a number of factors:

Hi Ryan
I'm using moodle, and I'm making minor changes, such as adding new trigger actions. I'm not adding new slides
