Allow Free Navigation after Course Update

Our team develops courses in house using primarily Storyline 360, and Absorb LMS as the host platform.  Our current issue is that at times we need to make corrections or minor updates to published courses.  If we replace a course with it's update, Absorb retains a past learners completion and score, but if they open the course to review, the navigation restrictions have been reapplied.  We need to find a way that allows the updated course to recognize that the learner has completed it already, and free the menu and scrub bar.

Has anyone run into a similar situation and able to resolve it?  Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
