A course can be made up of one or multiple activities and typically focuses on one main topic e.g. pre-boarding, onboarding, a process, a product or feature related course, or sales/customer care soft skills.

FAQs
Q: Will editing an existing course impact course completion data?
- Edits to Existing Courses that Will NOT Impact Completion Data
No edits to already existing lessons will have an impact on completion data. For example, adding a video slide would not change a user's completion status if they already completed the course. Even adding an additional quiz would not change progress status, it would only mean that the users who previously completed the lesson would not have scores for that new quiz in the reporting. - Edits to Existing Courses that DO Impact Completion Data
Any new activity (Lesson, Survey, or Assessment), however, would impact course completion data and potentially shift a user's completion status back to In Progress.
