Limitations: only users with the role of Educational Designer or the original uploader of the initial document to the LOR can replace or delete that document.
Furthermore, when a Course guide is uploaded under the same name, it is added as a new file to the LOR with the same name. This is because the name is not unique within the LOR (this is how the LOR works). Therefore, replacing the Course guide is the only solution!
Like the first steps to publish the initial Course guide to the LOR you must first prepare the Course guide document in PDF format. Be sure to use the correct filename: CourseCode_Year Course Name (e.g. HNH24806_2019 Introduction to Epidemiology and Public Health.pdf).
