# Editing and re-running a course

# Editing and re-running a course

In **MyStudio** (powered by Open edX), you can make changes to courses after they are created and also **re-run courses** to offer them again in a new term without rebuilding from scratch.

## Editing an Existing Course

As an instructor or admin, you can update your course at any time.  

1. **Open the course** from your MyStudio dashboard.  
2. Navigate to the **Course Outline**.  
3. Select the **Section, Subsection, or Unit** you want to edit.  
4. Use the editor to update:  
* **Videos** (replace URLs, update transcripts).  
* **Readings/HTML components** (revise text, add images, update links).  
* **Assessments** (edit problem text, change scoring, add/remove questions).  
5. Click **Save**.  
6. Publish your changes so learners can see the updated version.  

> ⚠️ **Note**: If a course is already running, edits to live content may affect learners’ progress. Always preview changes before publishing.

## Re-running a Course

Re-running allows you to reuse an existing course as a **new offering** (new term, new group of learners) while keeping the original intact.  

1. From the **Courses** page in MyStudio, find the course you want to re-run.  
2. Select **Re-run Course**.  
3. Enter new identifiers:  
* **Course Run**: A unique value for the new offering (e.g., `2024_T1`).  
* (Optionally update) **Course Number** or **Title** if needed.  
4. The system creates a **new course shell** that is an exact copy of the original.  
5. Update course dates, content, or assessments as needed.  
6. Publish the new course for learners to enroll.

## What Gets Copied in a Re-run?

When you re-run a course:  
* **Course outline, videos, assessments, and settings** are copied.  
* **Learner data and enrollment** are *not* copied.  
* Certificates, discussion posts, and analytics remain with the original run.  

---

## Best Practices

* Use **Re-run Course** for new terms or batches instead of editing the existing live course.  
* Update **start and end dates** before opening enrollment.  
* Double-check **grading policies and due dates** so they match the new schedule.  
* Consider refreshing **content** (e.g., updated case studies, new readings) to keep courses current.

## In Summary

* **Editing**: Make changes directly in the Course Outline and republish content.  
* **Re-running**: Duplicate a course for a new term while keeping past runs intact.  
* Both workflows give you flexibility to update or reuse content without rebuilding everything.
