Some LMS's will always treat an updated version of an existing Rise course as a brand new course. Students that had already started or completed the course would lose their data and would need to restart the course from the beginning.
There are some LMS's that will give you the choice to either update the course (and retain student progress data and bookmarking), or to create a new version.
Note that if you have made structural changes to your course by either deleting or adding lessons, you should treat this as a brand new course, as existing student data will no longer match the structure of the new course.
thanks Carl! we use Captivate prime and ive tested it and when we updated the rise content file, the tracking on the rise course (individual lessons) is lost.
So based on your testing, it seems that Captivate Prime is the type of LMS that will always treat an updated version of an existing Rise course as a brand new course.
Hi Karl, can you share which LMS's will allow you to update the course and retain student progress data? We're trying to select one that does that. Thanks!

Hi Neil.
What will happen depends on your LMS.
