After a course is created, you may decide to make changes to the skill requirements. Skill requirement changes can be made to the course, the class, or both. If you want the course and class requirements to match you can change the course requirements and then default the skill requirements to the changes made in the course settings.
Note: Only admins and course admins can change course requirements.
It is important to point out that what students can record in documentation is controlled by the associated class's skills settings. So, if changes are only made to the course requirements, that will not affect how or what students can document.
Additionally, if your course and class requirements do not match when you run reports on skill progress, the progress will be different depending on the settings for the report.
