Overview
In Forma, the idea behind editions is to have many separate issues of the same master course, with diffferent start/end date and subscription groups.
All the editions of a course will inherit and share some features from the Master course:
- Course Menu
- Course Materials
- Logo and general configuration
- Certificates
To create a course with editions, you can select the desired course type upon course creation.
