Activities — Edit

The Activities — Edit page in Magni allows you to modify the details of an existing learning activity or finalize the creation of a new one. This page is used by learning administrators and content creators to manage the core properties, content, and settings of activities offered within the Learning Management System (LMS).

Overview

This page serves as the central hub for updating all aspects of a learning activity, from its basic information like name and description to its associated media and learning content. When editing an existing activity, changes are saved automatically for most fields. For new activities, you can define initial settings before saving.

⚠️ Unauthorized Access: If you do not have the necessary permissions to update activities, you will see an "Unauthorized to update activities" message, and the page content will not be accessible.
