How to Edit a Learning Path

Summary

Admins can edit a Learning Path by opening it from the Learning Path tab, then updating its name/description, adding or removing course lists, reordering lists, and adjusting blocking prerequisites.

Introduction

This article walks LMS admins through editing an existing Learning Path, including updating its details, managing course lists, adjusting blocking prerequisites, and saving changes. Follow the steps below to keep learning paths accurate, well-structured, and aligned with your learners’ needs.

Requirements

  • Admin access to the LMS portal with permission to manage Learning Paths.

  • At least one existing Learning Path already created in the account.

  • Access to relevant course lists and courses (existing or newly created).

Steps to Follow

  • Go to the Learning Path tab in your LMS portal.

  • Find the learning path you want to update and click Edit.

  • Update the Name and Description if needed.

    • To add translations, click Translate, enter the localized text, and save.

  • Add course lists if required:

    • Click Existing course list to attach a saved list, then select one from the dropdown.

    • Click New course list to create a list on the spot, name it, add courses, and optionally enable Save to Course lists manager.

Expected Result

After completing the steps, the learning path is successfully updated with your changes (such as revised details, reordered or modified course lists, and updated blocking prerequisites). A confirmation/success message appears, and learners will see the updated learning path immediately or receive a notification if you enabled the “Send notification to users about changes” option.
