Hi John,
Happy to help! You're right that structural changes impact progress if you republish your course to the LMS. Any other changes to the course will also affect the learners' progress when you update (overwrite) existing course files in your LMS. Learners who previously started the course won't be able to resume where they left off. They'll start over at the first lesson in the updated course.
Some LMSs may allow updating existing courses without impacting the records of students currently taking the course. If so, they may also have details on what types of changes affect student tracking. I'd reach out to the LMS administrator if this feature is available in their platform.
