Course releases and updates

A Course or Reference release captures published content. Later Library edits do not change that snapshot. Learn keeps your selected release until you deliberately replace it or choose a version for recertification.

Publish updated content

You need publisher authority for the Catalog submission and an owned Library source for that publisher.

1. Edit the Course or Reference and wait for Saved.
2. Resolve Publishing readiness issues and check Preview and media.
3. Open the submission in Catalog > Publishing.
4. Choose New version, directly or under Manage submission.
5. Select the intended Library content and optionally add a label and changelog.
6. Select Publish v#.

You can also start from Library's Publish to Catalog and choose Update existing submission. See New versions and Library sources.

A private version becomes current immediately. A public version needs approval; an already approved listing keeps its previous content while the update is reviewed. The listing's text, cover, screenshots, and audience are separate from the captured content.

Change an active Learn version

1. Open the Course or Reference in Learn.
2. Choose Selected version. Current marks the listing's current release; In Learn marks the one you are using.
3. If offered, use Select Latest to select the current release.
4. Select Change Version to apply the different selection.
5. If prompted, read the warning and choose Cancel or Replace version.

Selecting a version alone does not apply it. If active Course progress or attempts exist, replacement asks for confirmation. Without that active history, including References, replacement can happen immediately.

Replacement permanently deletes stored learning progress and assessment attempts for this Learn item, including retained earlier runs, and clears its saved position. A Course starts fresh; a Reference opens as a Reference. Previously issued certificates keep their original release and dates.

Understand Catalog Update and recertification

New version available signals that the listing's current release differs from yours. Approval order can make Current differ from the highest version number; inspect the target.

Catalog Update applies the current release directly. It can restart a completed Course without a progress prompt and delete its stored learning history. Use Open in Learn when you only want to resume.

In a completed Course, Learn instead offers Recertification version and Recertify. See Recertify a completed Course before beginning another run.

Keep an older release

Available replacements must be approved, not discontinued, and belong to an accessible active listing. Your already selected release remains usable even when no longer offered to new learners, subject to account content-use access.

If replacement fails, reopen the item and check its selected version before retrying. A different recertification release must still be a Course.

Independent Library copies do not update when a release is published or your Learn version changes.
