LMS Lesson SCORM Information option
Hi Christine!
The second identifier appears in the imsmanifest.xml file, and it appears to be a friendly name for the first auto-generated LMS identifier higher up on that same screen.
While you can change the second identifier, I'd tread with caution. Just be sure the identifier is the same each time you publish the same course.
Let me know if that answers your question!
What happens if you change the identifier? Does it reset or overwrite learning activity? I'm trying to figure out how to reset the files so learners can retake the same course each year. We are on the third year, and the only way we have identified is to save and rename the file. Same content, no updates... Some learners might be the same but we might have others as well. You learn something new every year. Lots of information.

Happy to chime in here, Camille!

Changing the identifier will create a new version of the course in your LMS instead of updating the existing version—More details here.
I hope this helps! If you need more guidance, we're just a click away!

Hi Becca! I came across your reply in this thread and had a question for you. We have noticed that sometimes when we update a Storyline file, re-SCORM and replace the file in our LMS system, the changes don't always display to learners who have already completed the course and/or are in progress and who choose to restart. I am wondering if we were to change this identifier if that would force the updates to come through? Thanks!!
