Auto-republish — keeping LMS uploads in sync
When you edit a published course, what gets pushed automatically and what does not.
By default, editing a course does not automatically re-push it to any LMS where it's been installed. This is deliberate: silent updates are a learner-trust risk, and some LMSes treat a SCORM zip's checksum as part of their versioning model.
Opt-in auto-republish
The course creator can flip this from Course settings → Auto-republish. With it on:
- LTI-launched courses update instantly on every save — the LMS embed always pulls the latest version of the published artefact.
- SCORM/cmi5 zip targets get a notification email with the new zip attached + a one-click "publish a new version" link. We never auto-overwrite an uploaded zip; the LMS administrator approves.
Notifications
Even with auto-republish off, you'll get a digest email on the first edit after a publish, summarising what changed. Configurable from Settings → Notifications.
