What happens when an admin shares a course with another admin?
Sharing a course grants the receiving admin the right to manage and edit the course content.
Changes to the course
Any changes made to the course contents by any admin will affect that course at all levels of the organization. So:
If you want to share a course and prevent changes to your content = duplicate your course and share only the copy.
If you want to tweak a course that was shared with you but you do not want to alter the original = maybe think about duplicating it and making the changes on the duplicate (a course duplicate is completely independent).
Practical Tip to avoid leaving “dummy courses”
If you want to share a course but don’t want modifications made by the receiving admin to affect your original course, follow these steps:
Duplicate the course.
Share the duplicate with the receiving admin.
The receiving admin can then make a copy of the duplicate and edit it.
Both admins can delete the initial duplicate (the one shared), since it serves no further purpose.
Result: This process creates two separate, unconnected courses.
