  • Go Back discards your changes and returns to the Import Content panel.

  • Nothing is applied until you select Assign & Import. Afterwards, you can change any of these in Manage › Content.

  • If you import only pathways, Expiry Date and Reviews don't appear. In a batch that mixes courses and pathways, they're marked "Available only for SCORM content" and the pathways ignore them.
