Edit a lesson

NOTE: A new lesson that's created in a parent class is automatically inherited (except for the Text to show at the head of each page and Text to show on the results page) by a child class. Changes to that parent class’s lesson are inherited by a child class as follows:

  • Changes to the lesson name, short name, and description are inherited
  • Changes to the text to show at the head of each page and on the results page aren't inherited
  • Changes to the lesson questions are inherited
  • Changes to the lesson properties aren't inherited
  • Changes to the lesson Policy Set (if a Policy Set was applied) are inherited

NOTE: Inherited lessons need to be cloned into your child class before changes can be made to:

  • Lesson name
  • Short name
  • Description
  • Content

Check out Clone content. After the lesson is cloned, you're then able to edit the lesson to suit your class's needs. The following items of an inherited lesson can be edited without first needing to clone the lesson into your child class:

  • Text to show at the head of each page
  • Text to show on the results page
  • Lesson properties
  • Policy Set that's been applied

Edits made from the child class will only apply to that child class and its descendants.
