How to make sure that changes made to a book are reflected back to instructional materials.

Book assignments are published from the books area.

Let's say you have already published a book and created an assignment from a part of that book. If you then make changes to the book and republish the book, those published changes are not automatically reflected in the course. If you want to update the assignment, then need to press the Update to latest version button that appears on the right side of the book name.

  • Click on Courses on the left-hand side of your screen and select the course you want to preview.

  • Go to the Edit tab.

  • Click on the name of the book assignment.

  • Click on the Use latest version button then press Yes.

This will update the book based assignment to the latest version inside the course
  • Then click on the Update button. This will update the contents for all the students.

By confirming the update, contents of the assignment will be update for all the students also who have already started the assignment
