TalentLMS lets you lock course content so it cannot be edited by anyone who does not have permission. This option is available for Administrators and Course owners.
The Course owner is the person who created the course and has Instructor user-type permissions. When a Course owner with Instructor user-type permissions locks the content, they cannot edit it. To edit content again, they will need to unlock it first.
To have the option to lock the course content, Course owners and Administrators need to have the relevant permission on their Instructor role to Update a Course (1).
How to lock course content:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator or an Instructor and go to Courses.
2. Click to Edit (2) the course you wish to lock.
3. Next to the course name, click the more (3) symbol.
4. From the drop-down list, choose Lock course content (4)
A lock icon (5) appears next to Course content to indicate it cannot be edited and the options to add, edit, or reorder units are hidden.
| Note: When a course is locked, its units cannot be cloned or linked to another course. |
When course content is locked and you hover over the lock icon, a tooltip appears with the following message: “Course content is currently locked for editing. Unlocking requires the course owner or administrator.”
How to unlock course content:
To unlock the course content, click the more symbol once more and from the drop-down list, choose Unlock course content (6).
