Sometimes you need to correct or improve interactive content that is already in use. You can replace the SCORM ZIP on the existing content item without creating a new item or interrupting learners who are already in progress.

The version is selected when the learner first opens the interactive item. Learners who have already started stay on that version. Learners who have not started receive the newest version.

This article applies to SCORM packages uploaded to and played by Go1. It does not cover interactive content hosted on another website, where version behaviour is controlled by the external provider.

You need Administrator or Content Administrator permissions to create or edit content.

Before replacing a live file:

Use this flow when the content is a new title and should have its own learning history and reports.

In Go1 Learn, open Content.

Use this flow when the new ZIP is a revision of the same title and you want to keep the same content ID, metadata, assignments, and reporting history.

Changes in the item editor are saved automatically.

If you publish content through the Publish API, upload the new ZIP and set it as the media for the same learning object ID. Creating a different learning object ID creates a separate item and separate learning history. See Upload Content Media.

An assignment or enrolment by itself does not lock the version. The version is locked when the learner first launches the interactive content and a progression is created.

Replacing the ZIP does not overwrite existing completion records or change a learner's current status, score, or duration.

Yes.

Go1 reopens the version associated with the learner's existing progression and keeps its SCORM bookmark and suspend data.

The exact resume point depends on the package. The SCORM content must save and restore its location and suspend data correctly. If the package does not implement resume, the learner may return to the beginning of the package even though Go1 has kept them on the same version.

Progress cannot be transferred safely from an old package version to a new one. The structure, page identifiers, or assessment data may have changed between ZIPs.

Go1 reports the learner's enrolment and completion against the content item. Standard reports include data such as status, completion, score, and duration, but they do not currently include a field showing which ZIP version the learner used.

Go1 uses an internal package-version reference to return an in-progress learner to the right content, but this is not a customer-facing report field.

If you need the completed content version as auditable evidence:

Earlier versions are kept so that learners with an existing progression can continue on the version they started. There is no setting for an administrator or Content Partner to choose an expiry date for an old ZIP.

Go1 does not currently publish a fixed minimum retention period for earlier package versions. Contact Go1 Support if you have a contractual retention requirement or need an old version removed because of a legal, security, or safety issue.

Replacing a ZIP does not force an in-progress learner to restart. There is no switch on the upload screen that changes this behaviour.

For content owned by your organisation, an administrator can force a learner onto the new version by deleting the learner's existing enrolment and then enrolling or assigning them again.

Deleting an enrolment is irreversible:

Export any records you need before deleting the enrolment.

Do not rely on a normal ZIP replacement to remove the old version from learners who have already started.

If you are a Go1 Content Partner and the item is available across customer portals, contact Go1 Support or your Go1 Content Partner contact. Content Partners cannot directly delete enrolments owned by customer organisations.

No. Replacing the file on the same item keeps the existing content ID, metadata, assignments, and reporting history. Creating a new item creates a different content ID.

Yes. A learner who has not opened the interactive item receives the newest version on first launch. An in-progress learner stays on the version they already opened.

No. Their progression stays with the old version. If their enrolment is deleted and recreated, they receive the new ZIP but start again.

No. The normal behaviour protects in-progress learners. For an exceptional forced update, the affected enrolments must be reset.

Not in standard reports. Keep a release log and contact Go1 before rollout if package-version evidence is a compliance requirement.

No. A replacement file must be the same content type. Create a new content item if you need to change from interactive content to video, document, link, or another type.
