Within steps, save content made with Blocks in order to share your most recent edits with anyone who has access to your Path. In Paths using Blocks, you can now save your changes one step at a time by clicking the Save button in the upper right corner of the step.

See also how to Publish Path changes to one Cohort or to multiple Cohorts.

Teachers can edit the content of custom steps which are unique to the Cohort they are teaching. They can do this by either creating a brand new learning step or copy/pasting an existing step.

Custom steps can be identified from the Cohort path with this cloud that includes an "*":

Shared steps are marked with a not syncing icon. Changes made to these steps will be made to the Cohort path only and not synced to the Source Path to be shared with other Cohorts.

Teachers (unless they are also an admin or editor) do not have access to edit a shared step—one that is synced to the Source path to be shared with other Cohorts. Shared steps can be identified from the path with this icon when hovering over the step:

When a teacher edits a custom step for their Cohort only, they will see the Save message: "Save changes to share them with everyone in [Cohort name]" and the button will say Save Blocks.

Please be aware that if you remove content that is associated with learner progress (assessment questions, discussions, notes, etc.) that learner progress will be lost.

Anyone with admin or editor access, on the other hand, can edit a step that is shared with the Source and all other Cohorts. They can make these edits anywhere the step is used, and the edits will be saved universally.

When an admin or editor edits a shared step, they will see the Save message: "Save changes to share them with everyone in [Path name]" and the button will say Save Blocks to All Cohort Paths.

Please be aware that if you remove content that is associated with learner progress (assessment questions, discussions, notes, etc.) that learner progress will be lost throughout all Cohorts.

To customize the path for a specific Cohort, open the Cohort to the Path and make any cohort-specific changes by adding new learning steps, deleting any steps not needed for that specific Cohort, customizing the Cohort's schedule, and adding the teacher and/or moderator for that Cohort.

A few tips for personalizing cohorts:

If you made edits to a step in error and you don't want to share your edits with the Source and all Cohorts, you may revert your changes. This will reverse all changes since the last save. Once saved, the changes are live and cannot be reverted. We do not keep previous versions of content once your changes are saved.

Drafted changes are automatically preserved — you won't lose these changes if you sign out or close the window. The "Save" button shares those changes with anyone else who has access to the path. In other words, saving content means that any non-staff member who has access to the Path, such as learners and observers enrolled in the Path, can now see the new content.

Saving your content does not make the Path public. Saving only shares new content with anyone who already has access. See how to control who has access to your Paths.

Be sure to save the content inside each step individually. Steps with no content or drafted content will not be shared with participants.  

Once saved, the content cannot be reverted to a previous version. It can be edited again, locked, deleted. If you don't want learners to see saved content until after a certain date, you can schedule and lock content with future start dates. See how to schedule your cohorts here.
