What Are Editions and How Are They Configured

The following article covers everything you need to know about configuring editions within courses.

Introduction

 

Before diving into how to create them, let’s first clarify what is meant by an Edition. As the name suggests, editions are different versions—or “chapters,” if you will—of the same course. Just like a subject in school is divided into topics, a course is divided into editions. These may follow a sequence (e.g., “Teamwork I” and “Teamwork II”) or belong to the same theme (e.g., “Teamwork,” “Organizational Strategies”).

 

Configuration

 

Creating an Edition

To create a course edition, you first need to access the course’s detail view (via the blue eye icon in the course list). Inside the detail page, in the top-right corner, you’ll find the “+ Add Edition” button. Clicking it opens the “New Edition” form, which includes the following fields:

  • Course (Not editable)
     Displays the course to which the edition belongs

  • Start Date (Required)
     Data type: Date

  • End Date (Required)
     Data type: Date

  • Structure (Required)
     You’ll need to select a type of asset or site, which will then allow you to choose it in a new field titled “Sites/Assets”
    Data type: Dropdown

  • Plans (Required)
     Displays the previously configured plans and allows selecting one to categorize the edition
    Data type: Dropdown

  • Custom Fields (Optional)
     Allows selecting fields defined in the Business configuration, which can be viewed when reviewing Instructors and Students in each class
    Data type: List

  • Description (Optional)
     Field available for entering any relevant description for the edition
    Data type: Paragraph

Actions

In the editions list, you’ll see them organized in rows, displaying: ID, Description, Plan, and Course, along with the following actions:

  • View Details (Blue eye) – Opens the edition’s page. This is where you can continue with the edition’s configuration (explained further below).

  • Edit (Purple pencil) – Opens the same form used for creation, now titled “Edit Edition,” allowing you to update any entered information.

Edition Detail

Once an edition is created, selecting its detail (via the blue eye icon) allows you to view its contents. Scanning the screen from top to bottom, you’ll first find key information about the edition.

  • Start and End Dates

  • Linked Structure
