Hi, Amy,
As far as I know, there's no way to update one version of a course and then have the program automatically update all other versions accordingly. That would be soooo complicated, since there are different ways a course might be updated (edit text, swap graphics, add or delete slides, etc.).
There are a few tricks that might help a little:
- When possible, store the regularly changed info externally, such as on a website or in SharePoint. Have the courses link there.
- Note: This only works if the site has a URL that won't change. For example, I once had to link to PDF tip sheets. We put the version info within the PDFs and kept their file names exactly the same, so the SharePoint URL wouldn't change.
- If the change involves editing a given string of text, use Find and Replace in each course. This works well if you just need simple changes, like changing all instances of "Version 100" to "Version 101."
Unfortunately, you still have to republish, test, and reload all the versions.
