Overview

  • A syllabus proposal can be edited if you have the required permissions to do so.

  • Depending on your permissions, you may be able to edit a Proposal without resetting the Workflow, or an edit may reset the Workflow and send it back to the first step.


Related Permissions

  • If you don’t see the “Edit Request” button when viewing a proposal, that means the way your institution configured permissions doesn’t allow you to edit proposals.

  • Reach out to your Coursedog admin if you have any questions. 


How to Edit a Proposal

Step 1: Click “Proposals” on the left-hand navigation to open the Proposals Dashboard. 


Step 2

  • Select the “Created by Me” tab.

  • This tab includes all Proposals you have submitted. 


Step 3: Select your proposal.


Step 4: Click the “Edit Request” button above the Request Toolbox.



Step 5: Edit your Proposal as needed, and click the “Save Changes” button.


Step 6

  • If you do not have permission to edit a proposal without resetting the workflow (this is controlled by Syllabus admins in Curriculum > Settings > Roles), your request to edit the proposal will reset the workflow and send the proposal back to the first step in the workflow. This ensures that the workflow includes up-to-date information and that edits cannot be made after approvals have been given.

  • If you do have permission to edit a proposal without resetting the workflow, you will see a modal that allows you to choose to reset the workflow or to not reset the Workflow. If you do have permission to edit a proposal without resetting the workflow, the recommendation is that you do not reset the workflow so that approvers do not have to complete duplicate work.



Tracking Your Proposal

  • Open your proposal and click the “Workflow” tab in the Request Toolbox to see the proposal’s progress through the workflow once your edits have been submitted.
