Editing training programs - major and minor changes

FlightLogger lets you make changes to an existing program revision, but the type of changes you can make depends on whether the revision is active or inactive.

The concept of minor vs. major program changes — and how to make them — is explained in this video:

Major Changes

The following major changes can only be made on a program revision with no students (active or been active):

• Add lessons

• Delete lessons

• Add exercises

• Delete exercises

The following minor changes can be made on any revision — active or not:

Program overview

• Change which time columns are shown

• Toggle the progress bar on/off

• Toggle the remaining time on/off

Revisions

• Edit the revision name

• Edit the revision comment

Phases

• Add a phase

• Move a phase

• Edit a phase name

• Delete a phase

Lessons

• Reorder lessons

• Move a lesson between phases

• Edit a lesson name

• Edit a lesson briefing text

• Edit a lesson syllabus time

Categories

• Move a category

• Delete a category

Exercises

• Edit an exercise name (via the master exercise list)

Why These Rules Exist

These restrictions are part of FlightLogger’s built-in revision control, designed to:

• Protect data integrity by preventing edits to approved programs once students have started.

• Ensure students never experience unexpected major changes after starting a program.

• Help flight schools prove that students completed an approved program without inconsistencies.

Making major changes to an active program revision

If you need to make major changes to an active program revision, you have two options:

1. Create a new revision using a template from an existing revision.

2. Clone an existing program to create a brand-new program based on one you already have.
