# Why are my lesson edits not appearing after publishing?

## If you aren't seeing your updated lesson content, here's why - and what you can do about it.

### Why edits don't immediately appear

Wellio uses **version locking** to protect students who are already working through a lesson. When a lesson is assigned to a class, that class is **locked to the version** that was already in progress. This means:

- Students in that class continue to see the original version they started with.
- New edits you publish won't automatically appear for students who have already begun.

This is intentional - it prevents students from experiencing jarring mid-lesson changes, such as a question being removed or reworded after they've already answered it.

 

### Will new classes see the updated version?

Yes. Any class assigned that is still yet to start the lesson *after* you publish your edits will see the updated version.

 

### What if I still want all classes to see the changes?

If you need all teachers and students to see the updated content, **contact our Support Team** - we may be able to assist with unlocking and re-locking a class to the latest version, depending on how far students have progressed.
