Create a New Version of a Course

Eagle Point Software Knowledge Base

Quick Answer

To create a new version of a Pinnacle Series Course while keeping the old version's learning history, rename and archive the old Course in a restricted Archive folder, then create the new Course using the same base name.

What This Article Helps With

This article explains how to replace a Pinnacle Series Course with a new version when an in-place update is not enough. The new Course is a new course object, so learning history stays with the old Course and the new Course starts its own history. A shared naming pattern lets reporting users see both versions together.

How to Archive the Old Course Version

  1. Select Content in the left-hand navigation.
  2. Open the Course you are replacing.
  3. Rename the Course with the [ARCHIVED] prefix, the base name, the year, and the retirement date, for example, [ARCHIVED] Revit Fundamentals (2024) – Retired Oct 2026.
  4. Save the Course.
  5. Remove the Course from any active Learning Paths or Assignments.
  6. Select the ⋮ (more options) menu on the Course.
  7. Select Move.
  8. Choose the Archive folder restricted to the administrator Group as the destination.

How to Create the New Course Version

  1. Create the new Course.
  2. Give the new Course the same base name with the current year, for example, Revit Fundamentals (2026).
  3. Add the new Course to the Learning Paths or Assignments that used the old version.
  4. Confirm that the new Course appears for learners, and that the archived Course still appears in Reports with its historical records.

Helpful Tips

  • Use a new version only when an in-place update is not possible. Replacing items or the SCORM package inside the existing Course keeps learning history in one place.
  • Keep the base Course name identical across versions, because small wording differences make filtering in reporting unreliable.
  • Avoid copying a Course if you want completion history to follow learners.

Common Questions

Will learners keep their completions when I create a new version?

Completions stay with the old Course. The new Course is a new course object and starts its own learning history.

How can I report on both versions together?

Give both Courses the same base name. Reporting users can then filter or group the archived and current versions together.
