Each row in this display represents one update of the course. Learner history records retain the version identifier to retain a complete audit trail back to the content version used by a learner.

Incomplete sessions shown represent the number of learners who have started, but not completed the course version.

Completed sessions shown represent the number of learner completions have been logged for the course version.

Course content files remain on the server until all open user training sessions have been completed or cancelled. You decide when an updated version will replace the older version by identifying which import version is the "Active" version.

Activate selected import version

Change the Active import version by selecting the version you want to make active, then clicking "Activate selected import version" in the Course Tasks box under this Import History tab.

A confirmation screen then appears asking for for your instructions on how any user's open course sessions for the old version should be handled relative to this version change.

Choose whether open sessions should be cancelled immediately or if users should have period of time to complete their open sessions. Click "Activate" when you have read the details of your options and have indicated your choice.
