Changes to Existing Rise Course
A client is using the Elevate LMS and we have several modules being actively taken within the LMS. When we make changes to a Rise course, I output the SCORM file and they re-upload it into their LMS...
This is a LMS issue, not a Rise issue.
Most Learning Management Systems will treat any changes to an existing course, as a new version of the course. As such, it will require students with an "in-progress" status to restart the course.
Our LMS (not Elevate) allows us to indicate that a new version of a course (provided that no new Lessons were added, or existing Lessons were deleted or moved) is an update. If we choose that setting when replacing an old SCORM with a new SCORM, students with an "in-progress" status do not need to restart the course. All of their previous progress data and bookmarking is retained.
Note: most Learning Management Systems do not have this setting, and will treat even minor edits as a new course, which is what you are experiencing.
