About
You find the global course settings for Designer in Site administration > Plugins > Course formats > Designer Format > General settings and then in the tab Course.
There are two types of settings here:
Standard global settings – These affect all course instances immediately. Displayed bold and include an explanation of the setting.
Default settings – These apply only to instances created after the default is set. They can:
be marked as advanced, which hides them behind the “Show more...” link in the instance settings.
be changed later at course level.
