Best practice to replace a SCORM package that is already in use in the LMS

Hi,

As a best practice, whenever you make changes to a Rise or Storyboard course, you need to re-export/re-publish it, then replace the old SCORM in the LMS with the new one. Straight-forward so far.

The question is what happens to students that have already started the course and have an "in-progress" status.

There is no standard answer to this question as it depends on the specific LMS.

Even if you just made a few small changes, a LMS may always treat a new SCORM as a brand new version of the course, requiring students to retake the course from the beginning. 

A few LMS's will give you the choice when uploading a new SCORM, to either update the existing course or to create a new course.

If you are adding or deleting Lessons and making major content changes, it's best to treat these as new courses.
