What you're proving
A program administrator can maintain a live course template — update pricing, defaults, or editorial content on the seeded Paralegal course — and optionally duplicate it for a new variant, without breaking existing sections.

Expect seeded data: PLG-LRW-201 — Legal Research & Writing under Paralegal Studies Certificate. If missing, see Developer appendix.
Step 1 — Open PLG-LRW-201 for edit
- Open Catalog → Courses tile: https://lsuoce-development.fly.dev/dashboard/catalog/courses/
- Find PLG-LRW-201 — Legal Research & Writing
- Open ⋯ → Edit course (do not click the course name — that opens sections)
- Confirm the edit form loads with Core details, Pricing & fee components, and Section defaults & inheritance
Step 2 — Make a meaningful course update
- Choose one maintenance change appropriate for your program — e.g. adjust Base price and fee lines, update Section creator notes, or revise Prerequisites / Syllabus text
- Click Save as draft
- Reload the page and confirm your change persisted
- Check Course review summary for any new warnings
Step 3 — Verify existing sections are unaffected
- Return to the Courses list
- On PLG-LRW-201, open ⋯ → View sections
- Confirm seeded sections (e.g. Fall 2026 — Cohort Section) still appear with their original dates and status
- Open one section via ⋯ → Edit section and spot-check that inherited course defaults still make sense
Step 4 — Duplicate for a new course variant (optional path)
- Return to Catalog → Courses
- On PLG-LRW-201, open ⋯ → Duplicate course
- Confirm the form pre-fills from the source but suggests a new Course code (e.g.
PLG-LRW-201-COPY) - Change the Title to distinguish the copy (e.g. Legal Research & Writing — Advanced Track)
- Click Save as draft
- Open View sections on the new course — confirm no sections were copied from the original
Optional appendix — Attach an unattached course to a certificate
- If you have an Unattached course from WF-05, open Catalog → Certificates → edit Paralegal Studies Certificate
- Under Required courses or an Elective group, use Add course to attach it
- Confirm the course Certificates count updates on the Courses list
